Your servant, having carried out your instructions once we reached our destination, shouldn't leave without a testimonial from me — especially since I wouldn't want you to think your kindness toward me was poorly invested if a returning letter discharged the debt of gratitude.

nt cum iter in patriam relegere coeperimus, eluctandis difficultatibus adminicula ube-
riora decernas.
