Copy of the letter of Juliana Anicia.
To the most blessed Father Hormisdas — from Juliana Anicia.
Through the prayers of Your Beatitude and the arrival of the legates from the principal apostolic see, the errors of the heretics have been shattered, and we have come together in the unity of the catholic faith. We were gathered as one at the motherly embrace of the Church on the day of the holy Resurrection.
Therefore, addressing Your Holiness with a pen of reverence, we urge you: instruct the most reverend men you have sent not to depart under any circumstances until — as you will see is proper — the things they have set in order are firmly established. Let every remnant of the past error be cut away, so that the unity secured at the cost of Your Beatitude's efforts may be brought to permanent effect.
The work is not yet finished. Do not recall your men too soon.
