Letter 2051: We'll be setting out for home tomorrow, God willing — which you already knew.
We shall set out on the journey to our homeland under the auspices of the gods, a thing already ascertained by you beforehand. But religious scruple has prompted us to make you more certain of the day as well. Learn, therefore, that tomorrow the road must be retraced by us; and, since you are most observant of a promise, see that you remember to hasten to the public ceremony.
