Letter 9169: You are to inform Franciscanus that he is to pay what he owes to Bishop Peter of Hydruntum.
You are to inform Franciscanus that he is to pay what he owes to Bishop Peter of Hydruntum. If he pays willingly and promptly, the matter ends there. If he does not pay voluntarily, you are to compel payment by whatever means are available to you through your authority as defender. I have no patience for those who exploit the Church's preference for patience as an excuse for indefinite delay. The bishop of Hydruntum is owed this money and is to receive it.
