3.20.37 De uxore leprosi, qui petit habitum monachalem. [1] "Henricus Spalatensis1 civis causa negotionis ivit in regionem longinquam. Postmodum vero ad quandam habuit meretricem accessum, quam coierat cum leproso. Rediit demum infectus et volebat uxore abiti. Illa vero fieri nulla ratione permisit, quia totius rei seriem intellexerat manifeste. Nunc autem mulier ipsa petit a sanctitate vestra, ut firmiter iniungatis archiepiscopo Spalatensi, quod si probari poterit virum taliter fuisse infectus, .B. uxori eius de auctoritate vestra nullius appellatione obstante licentiam conferat, quod alii possit matrimonio copulari."

Ecce autem subitum atque oculis mirabile monstrum; candida per silvam cum fetu concolor albo procubuit viridique in litore conspicitur sus.
