To Andronicus.
Gaudentius shares with me the work of teaching the young. This man Arabius is connected to him and has family there who are poor beyond what they deserve. Knowing that you are my friend, that you care for your own people, and that you are in a position to do me a favor, he asks me to move you to help Antiochus and Alexander. Of these two, one is his father-in-law and the other his nephew -- the first completely destitute, the second a young man in hardship.
You will learn the details of their wrongs from them directly. By resolving their trouble, you will uphold the laws -- which I believe matter to you above all else -- and do me a favor at the same time.
