Letter 6031: After we sent the boy off, a persistent rumor spread that you are to be summoned by an imperial letter.
After we sent the boy off, a persistent rumor spread that you are to be summoned by an imperial letter. The name of a certain Gratianus, who is said to be carrying such a document, is already on everyone's lips. Although this still seems uncertain to me, I didn't think I should keep it quiet. It will be for the supreme divinity to determine your future and to confirm a course of favorable outcomes. Farewell.
