Greek text · Dindorf 4:476

ὅθεν βουλόμεθα ἵνʼ, ὁπόταν ταῦτα τὰ γράμματα κομίσῃ, εἴ τινα ἐκ τούτων τῶν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τῇ καθολικῇ τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἐν ἑκάσταις πόλεσιν ἢ καὶ ἄλλοις τόποις διέφερον, καὶ κατέχοιντο νῦν ἢ ὑπὸ πολιτῶν ἢ ὑπό τινων ἄλλων, ταῦτα ἀποκατασταθῆναι παραχρῆμα ταῖς αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίαις ποιήσῃς, ἐπειδήπερ προῃρήμεθα, ταῦτα ἅπερ αἶ αὐταὶ ἐκκλησίαι πρότερον ἐσχήκεσαν, τῷ δικαίῳ αὐτῶν ἀποκατασταθῆναι.

English · Claude translation

Wherefore we wish that, when you receive this letter, if any of the things that belonged to the catholic church of the Christians in each city or in other places are now held either by citizens or by any others, you cause them to be restored at once to these churches, since we have resolved that what these churches formerly possessed shall be restored to their right.
