Letter 58: P 3 fol. 26 ; R [Perels, p.

Pope Pelagius I to Bishop Peter of Potenza and other bishops. We write concerning the deacon Latin of Grumento, who has been elected bishop of the diocese of Marcellianum by the electors of that church. Believing that he has received letters of dismissal from his own bishop, we instruct you to proceed with his ordination if the canonical conditions are met. However, should it emerge that the relevant formalities have not been properly observed, you are to halt the proceedings and report to us immediately. The proper canonical procedure for episcopal ordination must be followed in every detail, and no irregularity can be overlooked.
