Sunt enim in Sicilia Insula ecclesie vacantes episcopis et si vobis placet auctore Deo ecclesiam regere juxta B. Petri apostoli limina cum ejus adjutorio melius potestis; sin vero non placet feliciter state et pro nobis infelicibus exorate. Omnipotens autem Deus in quocunque loco vos esse voluerit sua protectione custodiat et ad celestia vos dona perducat (fol. 122v; Reg. IX ep. 42).
