Cicero to Acilius vice-Consull. Epist. 34.
MY deceased progenitors, and those of Lyso Lilybaetanus, sonne to Lyso, made a friendship in respect of the hospitalitie which passed betwixt them, which we hau•• successiuelie pre∣serued. And besides, hee greatly ob∣serues me: and I haue found him a man worthie of such a father, and grand-father; for he is of a most noble Familie. And therefore with the grea∣test zeale I am able, I recomme••d vnto you his house, and substance. And I require it at your hands as a speciall fa∣uour, that you will cause him to per∣ceiue, that my recommendation of him to you, turned vnto his great honor, and benefit. Farewell.
