Letter 934: Libanius tells Priscion that a playful remark was wrongly taken seriously and urges him to circulate the speech.

I expected you to stop a friend who had been misled, not to be misled right along with him, especially when the things I said about love made clear that I was joking with a friend who knew how to laugh. But instead he wept, and you did the same, over a speech that amazed Palestine and then amazed our own city when it was performed in the theater by a clear-voiced boy. There was loud applause after the praise I had given it at home; for I was following your letters, and first did the former thing, then the latter. After passing before my own eyes, the speech reached the ears of many. You should make and send many copies of it, since both of these effects will come about for those people too.
