quod me vetas quicquam suspicari accidisse ad animum tuum quod secus a me erga te commissum aut praetermissum videretur, geram tibi morem et liberabor ista cura, tibi tamen eo plus debebo quo tua in me humanitas fuerit excelsior quam in te mea. velim quid videas, quid intellegas, quid agatur ad me scribas tuosque omnis ad nostram salutem adhortere. rogatio Sesti neque dignitatis satis habet nec cautionis. nam et nominatim ferri oportet et de bonis diligentius scribi, et id animadvertas velim. data iiii Nonas Octobris Thessalonicae.

Since you forbid me to suspect that anything has affected your feelings because something appeared to have been wrongly done or omitted by me toward you, I shall comply and free myself of that anxiety. Yet I shall owe you all the more, the more your humanity toward me has surpassed mine toward you. I should like you to write what you see, understand, and what is being done, and to exhort all your friends to support my restoration. Sestius' bill possesses neither sufficient dignity nor sufficient safeguards. It ought both to be introduced in my name and to deal more carefully with my property. I should like you to take note of that. Given at Thessalonica on 4 October.

Tu m’interdis de soupçonner que ton affection ait été atteinte par quelque acte ou omission qui t’aurait paru fautif de ma part envers toi. Je suivrai ton avis et me délivrerai de cette inquiétude. Je t’en devrai pourtant d’autant plus que ton humanité envers moi aura été supérieure à la mienne envers toi. Je voudrais que tu m’écrives ce que tu vois, ce que tu comprends et ce qui se fait, et que tu exhortes tous les tiens à travailler à notre salut. La proposition de Sestius ne garantit suffisamment ni ma dignité ni ma sécurité. Elle doit me nommer expressément et traiter de mes biens avec plus de précision. Je voudrais que tu y prennes garde. Donnée le quatrième jour avant les nones d’octobre, à Thessalonique.
