Cicero to Titus Titius, sonne to Titus, Legate. Ep. 75.

THough I am of constant beleefe, that my first recommendation pre∣uailed much with you: yet I am de∣sirous to giue contentment, to Caius Auianus Flaccus, my familiar friend: whom, I am not onely desirous, but bound, ••o fauour wherein possible I am able: of whom in presence, I spake ef∣fectuallie to you, when you kindly made me answere: and with great ef∣ficacie, I wrote vnto you afterwardes thereof. I request you to pardon me, if to giue him satisfaction, I may seeme vnmindfull of your constancie. I desire therfore the same fauour at your hands, which is, that you will permit Auianus, that at all times of the yeare, he may conueie his come, wh••ther soeuer stands best with his commoditie. Which courtesie, in like manner, by my meanes, he obtained for three

yeares, while Pompeius had this charge. To conclude; that, wherein you may doe me greatest pleasure, is, to let A∣uianus know your loue towardes me, seeing he is assured of mine to himselfe. This will be very acceptable to mee. Farewell.
