Letter 706: This month is packed with business, and a wedding cannot tolerate such rush and worry.
Κέλσω. (362)
Οὑτοσὶ μὲν ὁ μὴν γέμει πραγμάτων, γάμος δὲ οὐκ ἀνέχε-
τᾶι τοιούτων δρόμων οὐδὲ φροντίδων· ὁ δὲ ἐπὶ τούτῳ, κἂν
ὑπάρχῃ σχολή, νόμῳ τινὶ παλαιῷ τὸν ὑμέναιον οὐ δέχεται.
δέξεται τοίνυν ἡμᾶς ὁ τρίτος φόβου μὲν ὢν καθαρός, ἐσόμε
νος δὲ ἴσως καὶ πόνων.
