Letter 10056

**From:** Gregory I, Bishop of Rome **To:** Amandinus, Domesticus **Date:** ~600 AD **Context:** Commends Gregorius, a former prefect, to the domesticus. I commend to your kindness Gregorius, a former prefect, who is known to me personally. He may have occasion to seek your assistance in some matter, and I ask you to receive him well. He is not a man who asks for what he does not need, and any help you give him will be well placed. I will consider it a personal kindness.
