The paucity of donations to the papacy during his reign (42 pounds of gold and 310 pounds of silver, a fraction of the personal donations of other contemporary pontiffs) indicate that he was probably not from the aristocracy.
De meget beskedne donationer i hans korte tid som pave (42 pund uld og 310 pund sølv, en brøøkdel af private donationer til andre paver på denne tid) tyder på, at han ikke var fra aristokratiet.
