Many people speak well of Sexio's record as former governor of Calabria, and for that reason they've asked me to entrust him to your support. It's in your generous nature to extend your affection to people others have already approved.
So if there's nothing standing in the way of their wishes, I ask you to see that my words — and the hopes of many — work to Sexio's advantage. Farewell.

Merita Sexionis, qui antehac Calabriam reont, multi in bonam partem loquuntur 15
eaque propter, ut sufiragio tuo a me committeretur, orarunt. est humanitatis et con-
suetudinis tuae aliis quoque placitos amore dignari. ergo si nihil est, quod resistat
precantium voluntati, effice, oro te, Ut Sexioni apud te prpsint et mea verba et vota
multorum., vale.
