Letter 48: You are quite right to return to the capital.
To Pylaemenes.
You are quite right to return to the capital. Even if good fortune had attended you in the mountains of Isauria, good fortune becomes unfortunate when it comes in the wrong place. Besides, I have a personal reason to want you prospering at court: as long as I have a friend near the throne, I have hope that someone is looking out for me and mine.
