Letter 62: Hormisdas to Juliana Anicia.
Hormisdas to Juliana Anicia. Having received the letter of your amplitude, we give thanks to our God for the restoration of the Catholic faith, praying that he may deign to preserve in your heart the devotion to his religion that he has granted — for a long life. Just as the lineage of imperial blood ennobles your person, so may the brightness of a good conscience shine forth with the light of worthy merits. We greet you with proper honor and ask that you continue to strive in the good work you have begun.
