Letter 486: The man in authority, Arcadios, does not have the same privacy available to him that an ordinary person has.

Concerning him. You have there with you Gigantius, my lord, who supposes that his earlier conduct has gone unnoticed, and who is again scheming to invest himself with office. Since, then, you have no need of the many grievous matters here for the restoration of purity, nor of long speeches to gain knowledge of the things concerning him -- encircled as you are by many cares -- [know this]: he is a Cappadocian, and he governed as a Cappadocian. Let a Cappadocian count for nothing more in your eyes.

Περὶ αὐτοῦ. Ἔχεις αὐτόθι Γιγάντιον, δέσποτα, οἰόμενον λεληθέναι τὰ πρότερα, καὶ αὖθις περιθήσειν ἑαυτῷ τὴν ἀρχὴν βουλευόμενον. Ἐπειδὴ τοίνυν πολλῶν τὰ ἐνταῦθα δεινὰ εἰς διόρθωσιν καθαρότητος, μακρῶν δὲ λόγων εἰς γνῶσιν τῶν κατ᾽ αὐτὸν οὐ χρῄζετε, ὡς πολλαῖς φροντίσι κυκλούμενοι, Καππαδόκης ἐστίν, ἦρξεν ὡς Καππαδόκης. Καππαδόκου παρ᾽ ὑμῖν μηδὲν πλέον ἐχέτω.
