[The text of this letter is heavily intermixed with critical apparatus notes, making large portions unreliable for translation. The readable sections concern senatorial business, legal proceedings, and Symmachus's characteristic blend of public duty with private correspondence. A proper translation would require consultation with the critical edition to separate the letter text from the editorial apparatus.]

Modern English rendering for readability. See the 19th-century translation or original Latin/Greek for scholarly use.
