[88] Rediens igitur rex Ravennam,¹ tractans non ut dei amicus sed legi eius inimicus, immemor factus omnis eius beneficii et gratiae quam ei dederat, confidens in brachio suo, item² credens quod eum pertimesceret lustinus imperator, mittens et evocans Ravennam Iohannem, sedis apostolicae praesulem, et dicit ad eum: Ambula Constantinopolim ad Iustinum imperatorem, et dic ei inter alia, ut reconciliatos³ in catholica restituat religione.

[88] Then the king, on his return to Ravenna, acted no longer as a friend of God, but as an enemy to His law; forgetful of all His kindness and of the favour which He had shown him, trusting to his own arm, believing, too, that the emperor Justinus stood in great fear of him, he sent and summoned to Ravenna Johannes,¹ who at that time sat upon the apostolic throne, and said to him: Go to the emperor Justinus in Constantinople, and tell him among other things to restore² those who have become reconciled and joined the Catholic Church.
