Letter 120: Polianus has returned to us and reported the favors he received, and both he and I are grateful.
**To Florentius** (359/60)
Polianus has returned to us and reported what he obtained, and both he and I were grateful for what he received. Now, hurrying back to you once more, he was eager to carry a letter — not because he does not already stand high enough in your regard to mention another person to you with confidence, but because he knows that you take pleasure in letters from me, and he feared he might be called to account for failing to bring one.
I gave it gladly, therefore, for both reasons: to furnish you with delight, and to spare my friend a penalty.
