My teacher, may you be kept safe for us. May your household be safe, and ours as well; if you look at our feelings, it is one household. I know perfectly well that, if you could have walked even with difficulty, you would have come to us. But you will come often, and, if the gods are willing, we shall celebrate all our festivals with you. Farewell, my most delightful teacher. My mother greets you.
? 154–156 A.D. To my master, greeting. May you be preserved to us! May your house be preserved, and ours! which, if you look at our feelings, is but one house. I know well you would have come to us, if you could have walked even with difficulty. But you will come often and join us, if the Gods will, in keeping all our fetes. Farewell, my most delightful of masters. My mother greets you.
ad M. Caesarem 5.58 [82 Hout; 1.244 Haines]
Magistro meo salutem.
Salvos esto nobis, salva sit domus tibi domus tua, salva nostra; quae, si animum nostrum species, una est domus. Recte scio autem, si vel difficulter ingredi posses, venturum te ad nos fuisse. Sed venies saepe et tecum celebrabimus, si dei volent, omnia festa nostra.
Vale, mi magister jucundissime. mater mea te salutat.
