Quintus Aurelius Symmachus → destinatário desconhecido
Tradução moderna em inglês
The philosopher Horus, a man of exceptional life and learning, has long been dear to me. He counts it among Fortune's chief blessings to be connected with the best people.
So, eager to fulfill his wish, I ask you to receive him — both for his own merit and in honor of my recommendation — among the most esteemed and honored members of your circle.
Texto latino / grego
Horus philosophus vita atque eruditione praecipuus iamdiu mihi carus et amicus t5 est et inter prima numerat dona fortunae, si optimis quibusque iungatur. studens igitur ad effectum desiderium eius adducere quaeso te, ut et sui meriti gratia et in honorem commendationis meae inter familiarium tuorum praecipuos atque honorabiles censeatur. XXXX ante a. 395.
