Letter CXCVI.
2683
To Aburgius
.
Rumour
, messenger of good news,
is continually reporting how you dart across, like the stars, appearing
now here, now there, in the barbarian regions; now supplying the troops
with provisions, now appearing in gorgeous array before the
emperor. I pray God that your doings may prosper as they deserve,
and that you may achieve eminent success. I pray that, so long as
I live and breathe this air, (for my life now is no more than drawing
breath), our country may from time to time behold
you.
