Epistulae (10 books) · c. 398
Quintus Aurelius Symmachus → destinatário desconhecido
Tradução moderna em inglês
I have been sent to Milan by the senators to entreat the aid of the divine emperor, which the anxiety of our common fatherland demanded. A speedy return, with God's promised favor, is assured to me by the prosperous course of affairs. But you will crown these present joys if news of your well-being reaches me by letter. Farewell.
