Tradução moderna em inglês
After the customary greeting, I'll pass along the request of Gaetulicus, an agent in rebus [an imperial courier and intelligence officer], who hopes to win your just favor through my introduction. It suits your generous nature to welcome a man of honest intentions and to expand the circle of your admirers by one more. Farewell.
