Letter 101: Theodore Studite, Letter 101; Greek heading: Ἰσιδώρῳ Βυζαντίῳ.
You remember me always, O good friend; but in return my God will remember you. I count it a small thing to receive a fat purse from those who are great in power, compared with what is sent by your God-loving Honorableness, even should it amount to but a single obol [a small coin of little value]; and yet the things you have sent are themselves great, and beyond my deserving. In return for these, may the Lord grant you every sufficiency of life, preserving you with no share in the heresy [hairesis, the iconoclast error] of those who war against Christ. Farewell in the Lord, you who are in all things revered by me.

Μνημονεύεις μου
ἀεί, ὦ φίλε καλέ, ἀλλὰ ἀντιμνημονεύσει σοι ὁ θεός μου. μικρὸν ἡγοῦμαι παρὰ τῶν
μεγάλων ἐν δυνάμει λαβεῖν ἁδρὸν βαλάντιον ὡς παρὰ τῆς θεοφιλοῦς σου τιμιότητος
τὸ πεμπόμενον, κἂν ἑνὸς ὀβολοῦ τυγχάνῃ· καίτοι γε μεγάλα καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐμὲ καὶ αὐτὰ
τὰ πεμφθέντα. ἀνθ' ὧν δῴη σοι Κύριος πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν βίου, ἀμέτοχον τῆς τῶν
χριστομάχων αἱρέσεως διαφυλάττων σε. Ἔρρωσο ἐν Κυρίῳ, τὰ πάντα μοι σεβάσμιε.
