Letter 11029: Formula: Concerning the Regendarius [Filing Clerk].
Formula: Concerning the Regendarius [Filing Clerk].
It seems fitting to equity that men praised for effective service should receive the reward their character deserves. There is a proper glory in the man who, having weighed his duties, is known to advance his military career. For this reason, we decree that Carterius shall happily obtain the post of regendarius, so that, spurred by the hope of future advancement, he may devote himself all the more eagerly to the labors of the praetorian office.
