Formula: Concerning the Commentariensis [Prison Warden/Record Keeper].

It is a pleasure to answer the hopes of the well-deserving with reciprocal rewards, so that a man may serve with a more devoted heart once he has earned advancement. Let Heliodorus therefore enjoy the office of commentariensis. We rightly entrust to his integrity those things we have judged must be kept safe.

XXVIII.
DE COMMENTARIENSE.

[1] Iuvat bene meritorum votis beneficiis respondere vicariis, ut devotiore mente possit obsequi, qui meruit anteferri. quapropter Heliodorus commentariensium fruatur officio. digne siquidem eius integritati committimus quae custodienda esse censemus.
