Latin / Greek Original
XLVII. Scr. a.u.c. 703. CICERO SILIO SAL.
Quid ego tibi commendem eum, quem tu ipse diligis? sed tamen, ut scires eum a me non diligi solum, verum etiam amari, ob eam rem tibi haec scribo: omnium tuorum officiorum, quae et multa et magna sunt, mihi gratissimum fuerit, si ita tractaris Egnatium, ut sentiat et se a me et me a te amari; hoc te vehementer etiam atque etiam rogo. Illa nostra scilicet ceciderunt: utamur igitur vulgari consolatione: "quid, si hoc melius?" Sed haec coram: tu fac, quod facis, ut me ames teque amari a me scias.
