Letter 6075: We've returned to our home and household gods, only to find a few unpleasant surprises.
Now that we have been restored to our homeland and household gods, we have found certain things by which we might be vexed: for repeated encroachment batters our estate at Ostia. But if the things you wish for are turning out prosperously for you, supply us with a letter, the gladness of which may wipe away the cloud of the present injury.
