c10.t2.18

∗ When the nuns have finished the celebration of the invitation among themselves (vide supra, p. 364), they send a messenger to the monks on the following day, who conveys to them in the name of the nuns the invitation, to state to the nuns any offence of theirs, seen, heard, or suspected. A corresponding invitation of the monks to the nuns does not follow (loc. cit. x, 19).
