Our brother Hilarius has commended the most devoted Titianus to me. With what better recommendation could I pass him along to you? A man vouched for by a person I trust is a man I can recommend without hesitation. Please extend to him whatever assistance lies within your power, and know that the chain of friendship connecting Hilarius, myself, and you is strengthened by every such kindness.

insinuem? et spero petitioni meae cessuram facilitatem, quando eo studio atque pro-
posito es, ut instar gratiae babeas, si tibi probabilis amicus accedat. vale. 20
