On permission to postpone the signing of the “Tomos Flavian” by Egyptian bishops.
Since the most reverent bishops of Egypt have now postponed the signing of the letter of the most reverend Archbishop Leo, not because they are opposed to the Catholic faith, but because, according to them, it is the custom in the Egyptian diocese not to do anything of the kind without the will and order of the archbishop, and since they ask for a delay until the installation of the future bishop of the great city of Alexandria, it seemed fair and philanthropic to us to grant them, who are in his rank in the reigning city, this delay until the installation of archbishop of the great city of Alexandria. So, let them give a guarantee that they will not leave this city until the city of Alexandria receives a bishop.
Greek original
Ἐπειδὴ οἱ εὐλαβέστατοι ἐπίσκοποι τῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐχ ὡς μαχόμενοι τῇ καθολικῇ πίστει, ὑπογράψαι τῇ ἐπιστολῇ τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου ἀρχιεπισκόπου Λέοντος ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος ἀνεβάλοντο, ἀλλὰ φάσκοντες, ἔθος εἶναι ἐν τῇ Αἰγυπτιακῇ διοικήσει, παρὰ γνώμην καὶ διατύπωσιν τοῦ ἀρχιεπισκόπου μηδὲν τοιοῦτο ποιεῖν· καὶ ἀξιοῦσιν ἐνδοθῆναι αὐτοῖς ἄχρι τῆς χειροτονίας τοῦ ἐσομένου τῆς τῶν Ἀλεξανδρέων μεγαλουπόλεως ἐπισκόπου· εὔλογον ἡμῖν ἐφάνη καὶ φιλάνθρωπον, ὥστε αὐτοῖς μένουσιν ἐπὶ τοῦ οἰκείου σχήματος ἐν τῇ βασιλευούσῃ πόλει, ἔνδοσιν παρασχεθῆναι, ἄχρις ἂν χειροτονηθῇ ὁ ἀρχιεπίσκοπος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων μεγαλοπόλεως. Ὅθεν μένοντες ἐπὶ τοῦ οἰκείου σχήματος, ἢ ἐγγύας παρέξουσιν, εἰ τοῦτο αὐτοῖς δυνατόν, ἢ ἐξωμοσίᾳ καταπιστευθήσονται.
