Letter 9119: The man Hilarius, whom I have commended to others as well, comes to you in need of a powerful patron.
AD ASCLEPIADOTUM PATRICIUM..
Hilarium commendat , ut ejus patrocinium suscipiat.
Gregorius Asclepiadoto * patricio in Galliis.
(ui terrenis Þ regibus adherent, quantum eis pre-
sttandi locus conceditur, tanto dehent in causis mer-
cedis proniores existere, ut ſructu boni operis et hic
eorum quibus serviunt gratia perſruantur, et coles-
lis regni aulam introire postea mereantur. Unde licet FR
hoe diligere, et in hoc vos esse conſlidamus intentos ;
verumtamen quia palernum alloquium aliquid bonis
mentibus semper addit , horlamur ut quoties con-
gruum juvandi tempus astiterit , nequaquam © quod
operandum vobis est differatis. Nam qui ſratrem
luctu relevat, oppressum erigit , mcerentem cons0-
latur, ab illo 8ibi retribui, cui totum impendit, non
dubitet, qui ait : Quod uni ex minimis istis ſecistis,
miki fecistis (Maith. xxv, 40). Quia igitur Hilarius
presentium portitor, pro eo quod frustra contra 88
quorumdam perhibet inimicitias exarsisse, vestre
5 tuitioni nostra petiit epistola commendar'i ;
certus quod, ' patrocinantibus vobis , cujusquam
coutra rationem adversitas ei nocere non valeat ,
idcirco paterno gloriam vestram salutantes affectu ,
pelimus ut ſavoris vestri gratia muniatur ; et quod
exteris justa petentibus indulgetis huic quoque
pr9 nostra intercessione largius impendatis , at-
que eum contra zquitalem opprimi non sinatis ,
td manum illi auxilii, ubi rationis ordo vocave-
| fit, porrigatis; quatenus ad mercedem gloriz ves-
Vixis8e et obiisse ſertur. Cerle si illz epistolz scripte
Sunt indict. 2, de alio agitur Hilario; nam Grego-
rius Turon., qui de Hilarii senatoris morie ac Sepul-
lura loquitur, obiit ipse longe ante indict. 2.
inveniat , et vos afflicto et humiliter supplicanti vi-
deamini, quod valde gloriosum est, subvenisse.
