The distinguished Dusarius, who rightfully holds a leading position among medical practitioners, has asked me to place his kinsman — who shares his name — under your patronage. I was happy to oblige my good friend, killing two birds with one stone: honoring you with a greeting and doing his relative a favor.
Please protect the man I'm recommending, and repay me with a letter in return. Farewell.
