There is an unconfirmed report, arising from a letter of Sulpicius, that he has left Alexandria; every later messenger has confirmed it. Since whether it is true or false makes no difference to me, I do not know which I should prefer.

Une rumeur incertaine, née d’une lettre de Sulpicius et confirmée ensuite par tous les messagers, veut que cet homme ait quitté Alexandrie. Puisque la vérité ou la fausseté de cette nouvelle ne m’importe en rien, j’ignore laquelle je préférerais.
