Et exiuimus et uidimus ante fores Optatum episcopum ad dexteram et Aspasium presbyterum doctorem ad sinistram, separatos et tristes. Et miserunt se ad pedes nobis, et dixerunt: "Componite inter nos, quia existis, et sic nos reliquistis". Et diximus illis: "Non tu es papa noster, et tu presbyter? Vt uos ad pedes nobis mittatis?".
