For even if good fortune had attended you in the mountains of Isauria, nevertheless good fortune becomes unfortunate because of the place where one is. [2] Moreover I have a personal reason to desire that you should prosper in the palace itself. As long as you are there, you can receive and send letters, the most precious to me of all the exports of Thrace .
