Ennodius to Avienus. I bless the threefold unity in majesty of our God, who has lifted me up amid my distresses by the gift of union with you, as though it were perfect health itself. A report reached me -- late, it is true, but welcome. May our Redeemer be present and fulfill what He has granted in answer to humble prayer. My lord, in paying the reverence of my greeting, I ask that you complete the business regarding that suburban property with your father, the lord Liberius, with Christ's help supporting you both. If the exchange goes through, let him be willing to accept the price, so that we are no longer left wavering under the uncertainty of a promise. For you know that there is nothing more you could grant this suppliant of yours in the present life.

VII. AVIENO ENNODIVS. Benedico dei nostri triplicem in maiestatibus unitatem, quae me inter angustias meas perfectae sanitatis loco de coniunctionis uestrae munere Subleuauit. uenit ad me sera quidem relatio, sed uotiua: adsit redemptor noster et inpleat quod inclinatus supplicatione concessit. domine mi, salutationis reuerentiam soluens rogo, ut actionis uestrae summam de suburbano illo cum parente uestro domno Liberio Christo uobiscum adnitente conpleatis, quatenus, si euenit commutatio, pretium dignetur accipere, ne diutius sub promissionis nutemus ambiguo, quia uos nostis nihil plus esse quod in hac supplici uestro mundi conuersatione praestetis.
