Extract from the opening of the letter:
Lator praesentium Theodorus ecclesiae uestrae lector ad sanctorum apostolorum limina ueniens, dum omnes, homo quippe nouus, haberet incognitos, Andreae monacho, qui ad sanctum Paulum inclausus fuerat, res et cartas quas detulit [...] innocenter deposuit [...]
‘The bearer of this letter, Theodorus, a reader of your church, came to the threshold of the holy apostles, and as he did not know anybody there, as he was new himself, he innocently deposited the goods and letters that he was carrying with the monk Andrew, who had been an anchorite at the monastery of Saint Paul.’
