[This letter contains multiple sections interspersed with critical apparatus. The legible portions discuss: congratulations on a friend's appointment to public office, a commendation for a young man being sent to the recipient's province, complaints about irregularities in tax collection affecting Symmachus's estates, and a request for the recipient's intervention. The heavy intermixing of editorial apparatus with the letter text makes a fully reliable continuous translation impractical without the cleaned critical edition.]

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