I'm delighted to mean more to you than most people, since you're the kind of man who looks out for my interests without waiting to be asked — you act on nothing more than a hint of what I might want.
I've received the four travel warrants [evectiones — official permits to use the imperial post], and they'll be enormously useful for my people's comings and goings. May the gods repay you for such generosity. And since your blessings are already complete and at their height, may they will that everything they've given you remain safe and secure. Farewell.
