Letter 9168: The dispute over certain properties between the monastery of Saints Marcus, Marcellinus, and Francis and the other...
You recall that we directed your experience in the present matter to act justly regarding the property which is said to have been granted by way of a gift to the monastery of Saints Marcus, Marcellinus, and Felicula, which is situated at Ravenna, since you know the case well. For this reason we have thought it necessary to remind you a second time by this instruction, that in the matter itself you should act in such a way that neither men in the present life nor almighty God at the final judgment can find you blameworthy.
