With God's blessing, I have dispatched our ambassadors to the most serene Emperor, and through them it was necessary to send greetings to Your Magnitude — since your rank and wisdom deserve the pleasure of our correspondence. I hope that Your Excellency will ensure they suffer no delay, since you can see I have sent them in haste. Attach your good offices to our cause, so that we may benefit from your help if we learn they have arrived without obstruction.

XXXV.
PRAEFECTO THESSALONICENSI VVITIGIS REX.
[1] Illum et illum legatos nostros ad serenissimum principem deo favente direximus, per quos necesse fuit magnitudini vestrae reddere salutationis affectum, quando honori vestro et sapientiae debetur, ut vobiscum collocutionis gratia perfruamur. speramus autem ab excellentia vestra, ut moram non debeant sustinere, quos nos sub celeritate perspicitis destinasse, quatenus vestris beneficiis applicemus, si eos remota tarditate pervenire cognoscimus.
