Letter 11020: For a long time now, carrying out your duties effectively, you have earned the favorable judgment of many.

XX. CONCERNING THE PRIMICERIUS [chief clerk] WHO RETIRES FROM OFFICE. [1] Long ago, indeed, by efficiently carrying out the commands given to you, you earned the favorable judgments of many; but now you are raised up, commended also by divine favor, since you are shown to have completed the labors of your service. Therefore, sustained by the honor of the rank of spectabilis [a senatorial dignity, "the respectable"], come forward to venerate the august purple among the tribunes and notaries, so that through the sacred sight of the prince the firmness of your dignity may be established.

XX. DE PRIMISCRINIO QUI EGREDITUR. [1] Olim quidem efficaciter peragens imperata multorum meruisti bona iudicia: sed nunc et divino favore commendatus erigeris, quando militiae laboribus perfunctus esse monstraris. quapropter spectabilitatis honore suffultus inter tribunos et notarios venerandam purpuram adoraturus accede, ut per sacros aspectus principis tuae subsistat firmitas dignitatis.
