Letter 2020: Forgive me for replying so quickly — I still owe something to my age: an unruly haste.
XX. ENNODIVS CONSTANTIO.
Dabis ueniam quod celer rescripsi, quia aetati adhuc debeo
indocilem festinationem. uos maturitas et pondus decet. proinde

iussionis uestrae se tuetur patrocinio, ab hoc quod nemo imperata
fastidit. uale ergo dicens legenda commendo: fiet etenim
ut posthac bene accepti ad parendum delenificae oboedientiae
stimulis incitemur.
