Ep.
XXVIII.
In visiting the mountain cities which border on
Pamphylia I fished up in the Mountains a sea Glaucus; I did not drag
the fish out of the depths with a net of flax, but I snared my game
with the love of a friend. And having once taught my Glaucus to
travel by land, I sent him as the bearer of a letter to Your
Goodness. Please receive him kindly, and honour him with the
hospitality commended in the Bible, not forgetting the
vegetables.
