Pari modo concedimus et confirmamus vobis
vestrisque successoribus in perpetuum omnem ordinationem episcopalem, tam de
presbyteris quam diaconibus vel diaconissis, seu
subdiaconibus, ecclesiis vel altaribus, quae in tota Transtiberi necessaria
fuerit, faciendam, nisi cardinalis presb. , vel cardinalis diaconus, vel
subdiac. , vel acolythus sacri palatii Lateranensis efficiatur.
Scilicet omnia tibi tuisque successoribus, vel quibus
episcopis a vobis invitati fuerint, ordinandi, benedicendi, consecrandive
concedimus potestatem . . . |

In the same way we grant and confirm to you and
your successors for all time [the power] to perform every
kind of episcopal ordination, that is of priests as well as of deacons or
deaconesses, or also of subdeacons, church buildings or altars, whatever
might be required in the whole of the Transtiberine region, unless the person
is to become a cardinal priest, or cardinal deacon, or subdeacon, or acolyte of
the sacred Lateran Palace [= the papal residence].
That means that we grant you and your successors, or
whatever bishops you have invited, all power to ordain, bless or consecrate . .
