MArcus Aemilius A••ianus hath euer honoured and loued mee, euen from his youth: and hee is an honest and verie kinde man, and euerie way wondrous officious. If I thought hee were at Sicyon, and not at this present (where I le••t him; and, as I heare, hee
is remaining) at Cibyra. I should not need to write vnto you further of him: being assured, that hee by his ciuill cu∣stomes, and kinde behauiour, without any recommendation, would cause himselfe to be no lesse of you, then hee is of me, and the rest of his friends, be∣loued. But, because I thinke hee is ab∣sent, I most effectually commend his house vnto you, which is in Sicyon: and his moueables: and aboue all, his Free-man, Caius Auianus Ammonius: whom, for his owne sake, I commend vnto you, as one that I make good e∣steeme of, not onely because he is a lo∣uing and faithfull seruant towards his master, but by reason, that in my most intricate troubles, I had both loyall and friendly seruic••s from him, as if I, of a slaue, had made him a Free-man. And therefore I require at your hands, as a speciall fauour, that both in his Masters matters, you would a••sist the said Ammonius, as his Agent; and that you will loue him for his owne deserts, and repute him as one of yours. You ••hall finde him modest, officious, and worthie of your fauour. Farewell.
