Cicero to Caiu•• Allienus, Vice-Consull. Epist. 79.
I S••ppose you conceiue, what accompt I made, of Caius Auianus Flaccus; and by him I vnderstood, who is a man, of tried sinceritie, and mindfull of bene∣fits, what great fauour you haue shewed him. His sonnes, most w••rthie of such a Father, and my good friends, whom I singularly loue, I recommend vnto you with that zeale, as with greater I could not recommend any. Caius Auia∣nu•• is in Sicilia, Marcu•• is here with vs. I pray vouchsafe to respect Caius, who is present, and haue a care of both their substances. You cannot in this Pro∣uince, shew me a greater cour∣tesie. This is my petition, which I beseech you, graunt mee. Farewell.
