Letter 6012: To Liberius, Eugenetes, Agapitus, Senarius, and Albinus.

XII. To Liberius, Eugenetes, Agapitus, Senarius, and Albinus. There is need of fuller pages where the trustworthiness of the bearer falters; but through Stephen the deacon, your devoted attendant who loves me, a sparing conversation suffices, since he, passing over letters spread out into many words, sets what is necessary above what is overflowing, and by his condensation does not, as a faithful keeper of secrets, suppress the things that ought to be reported. As for what remains, announcing that I am well by God's favor, I inquire after the blessings of your prosperity, and I render in full the dutiful service of greeting, beseeching that the unspoiled integrity of your esteem may not strip me of my confidence.

XII. LIBERIO, EVGENETI, AGAPITO, SENARIO, ALBINO. Vberioribus opus est paginis, ubi fides claudicat perlatoris: per amantem mei cultorem uestrum Stephanum diaconum sufficit parca conlocutio, qui transgrediens epistulas in multa uerba diffusas praefert affluentibus necessaria, dum conpendio fidelis arcani alleganda non subprimit. quod restat, ualere me deo auspice nuntians prosperitatis uestrae bona disquiro et plenum reddo salutationis obsequium deprecatus, ut fiduciam meam incorrupta dignationis uestrae non denudet integritas.
