Letters of Libanius · c. 341
Libanius → Priscianus
Tradução moderna em inglês
To Priscianus. (361?)
Leontius is still carrying letters on the same subject. I told him he ought to be sacrificing in celebration of victory. They say he has received no small concessions, but apparently the whole amount was owed. Praise him for what he already has cause to be grateful for, and then make sure he has reason to be grateful for a complete resolution.

Πρισκιανῷ. (361?) Ἔτι Λεόντιος ὑπὲρ τῶν αὐτῶν γράμματα φέρει, ἐγὼ δὲ αὐτὸν ἠξίουν ἐπινίκια θύειν. καίτοι φασὶν οὐ μικρῶν τετυ- χηκέναι, τοῦ παντὸς δὲ ἄρα προσῆκε. σὺ δ’ αὐτὸν ἐπαινέσας ὧν οἶδε χάριν, ὅπως ὅλως ἀπηλλαγμένος εἴσεται χάριν ποίει.
