. . . .1 My friend, I mean Calpurnius, and I are having a dispute, but I shall easily confute him in the presence of all, and with you, too, if you are present, as a witness, that Pylades is superior to his master,2 just insomuch as he is more like Apolaustus.3 But to speak seriously, tell your Valerius Antonius to hand me the petition, that by our reply, also, the favour of our verdict may take effect. I read your letter with the greatest pleasure and with my usual admiration. Farewell, my master, to your Verus sweetest and dearest.
