    Epistle LI.

    To Maximianus, Bishop.

    Gregory to Maximinianus, Bishop of Syracuse1499

    1499 See II. 7, note 5.

    .

    My brethren who live with me familiarly urge me by all means to write something briefly about the miracles of the Fathers done in Italy, which we have heard of.  With this view I am in great need of the assistance of your Charity, to mention to me shortly what comes back to your memory, and what you happen to have known.  For I remember your telling me something, which I have now forgotten, about the Lord1500

    1500 Domno.  “Abbas autem, quia vices Christi agere creditur, Domnus et Abbas vocetur.”  Regula S. Benedicti, c. 63.

    Abbot Nonnosus, who was with the Lord1501

    1501 Domno.  “Abbas autem, quia vices Christi agere creditur, Domnus et Abbas vocetur.”  Regula S. Benedicti, c. 63.

    Anastasius of Pentomi1502

    1502 The miracles attributed to Nonnosus, which are here referred to, are told in Dialog. I. 7, as having been communicated to Gregory by Maximianus and an old monk called Laurio.  Nonnosos, at the time when they were wrought, had been Prior under Anastasius of a monastery on the summit of Mount Soracte.

    .  And therefore this, or anything else, I beg thee to communicate to me by letter without delay, if indeed thou art not intending to come to me thyself shortly.
