We have two letters of king Theodoric the Great concerning Eustorgius: the first, addressed to the count and senator Adilas, urges Eustorgius to take under his protection the estates owned by the Church of Milan in Sicily, and the second, directly addressed to Eustorgius, asks the bishop to restore the bishop of Aosta who had been unjustly accused by some clergy of treason. Eustorgius was also asked to judge the slanderers.Template:R
In an own letter, Avitus of Vienne (died 518) thanks Eustorgius for the financial support given in order to free some Italian prisoners who were captured by the Arian Burgundians.Template:R
