Epistulae (10 books) · c. 397
Quintus Aurelius Symmachus → destinatário desconhecido
Tradução moderna em inglês
We have reached the shore at Formiae. From here we will soon proceed to Puteoli [modern Pozzuoli]. It is hard to endure this heat without the comforts of the city, but the sea air has its compensations. A brief letter from a brief stop -- more will follow when we arrive.
