Epistulae (10 books) · c. 398
Quintus Aurelius Symmachus → destinatário desconhecido
Tradução moderna em inglês
We've returned to our home and household gods, only to find a few unpleasant surprises. Our estate at Ostia is being hit by repeated encroachments. But if things are going well for you, send me a letter -- its good cheer will clear away the cloud of my present troubles.

Patriae ac Penatibus redditi quaedam, quibus offenderemur; invenimus: siquidem Ostiense praedium nostrum ft^equens pulsat inpressio. sed si t^obis prospere optata procedunt, praestate litteras, quarum laetitia nubem tergeat praesentis iniuriae. 10 Lxxin (Lxxmi).
