Nam, ut fatemur, primis a Tuo abitu diebus nonnihil a nobis esse cessatum propter continuata sympo superinscribedoo superinscribedsia, quae in memoriam dulcissimae Tuae praesentiae paulo longius extendimus, ita res ipsa nos purgabit. Non discessisse nos ab officio et fuisse Tui haudquaquam immemores, ostendent quaternae utriusque nostrum ad Te litterae, quarum priores, quod diutius detinuerit Tauropedinus, nos in causa non fuimus. Videmus enim earum Tibi ante scriptam Tuam ad me epistolam nihil fuisse redditum. Credo accipies uno tempore omnes atque ita et habebis nos purgatos et laudabis officium nostrum, qui nullum statuamus deinceps, quam diu superinscribeddiudiu superinscribed absumus, diem intermittere, quin ad Te scribamus. Etenim finem tandem fecimus memoriam benignitatis Tuae per convivia celebrandi, quamquam nullum est momentum, nedum convivium, quo non amantissime de Te et apud nos et apud alios confabulemur. Ex reliquis meis litteris animum et propositum meum intelleges, de quo, quid tu sentias, facies pro Tua summa erga me pietate, si me primo quoque tempore certiorem reddes. Quamquam enim sis ... illegible...... illegible tantum non, ut scribis, negotiis regis agendis enecatus, tamen quia vacat etiam Tibi, ut video, ad nos verbosius perscribere, non erit, spero, molestum Tibi tribus verbis iterum significare, quid fieri velis. Tauropedinus fortassis redibit serius. Per nostros veredarios poteris commodius nobis, si quid voles, significare.
