To Andiberis,

The reverend presbyter Peter is distinguished not only by his priestly rank but also by his skill as a physician. During his long residence with us he has won everyone over with his agreeable character. When he learned of my departure, he decided to leave Cyrrhus as well. I commend him to your excellency. He is fully capable of serving the city well -- he practiced the same profession when he lived in Alexandria -- and I hope he will meet with your kindness.
