My teacher, Faustina has been feverish again today, and today I think I noticed it even more. Yet, with the gods' help, she herself makes me calmer, because she yields to our care so obediently. You would of course have come if you had been able. I am delighted, my teacher, that now you can come and promise that you will. Farewell, my most delightful teacher.
145–147 A.D. To my master. Faustina has been feverish to-day also, and, in fact, I fancy I have noticed it more to-day. But the Gods be thanked she herself makes me less anxious by being such an obedient patient. Of course you would have come had you been able. I am rejoiced that you can come now, and promise to do so, my master. Farewell, most delightful of masters.
ad M. Caesarem 5.26 [73 Hout; 1.194 Haines]
Magistro meo-
Caluit et hodie Faustima, et quidem id ego magis hodie videor mihi deprehendisse; sed deis juvantibus aequiorem animum mihi facit ipsa, quod se tam obtemepranter nobis accomodat. Tu, si potuisses scilicet, venisses. Quod jam potes, et quod venturum promittis, delector, mi magister. Vale, mi jucundissime magister.
