Letter 979: Libanius says Leontius honors him like a father and asks Eutropius to help those Leontius supports.

You needed to know this too: the fine and noble Leontius is one of those who love me deeply, no less than you do. He thinks he ought to do this, perhaps because he has seen some fairness in me, but still more because he is convinced that it will make you more pleased with him. The whole world has accepted the report of the judgment you have toward me: what you say at dinners, what you say in courts, both ordinary courts and the one where the emperor stirs his plans and concerns on behalf of eloquence. Following you, Leontius keeps honoring me with honors such as he would give his father, and he appears so powerful in this that he drives away settled grief whenever he does it. His company is pleasant to me for many reasons, especially because he wants to hear and say nothing except praise for your character, in which justice, good sense, and the habit of carrying through whatever seems necessary all reach their end. I think excellent Leontius will enjoy these good qualities by helping a good woman and the children of a man who did great harm to his enemies. Perhaps they too will one day become such men; for now they are in the hands of the Muses and in the writings of their father, who wanted to make them better through this man. So let my friend return to me praising the road.
