Without inscription, on behalf of Elpidius.<br />

Letter LXXVIII. 2273<br />

I have not failed to observe the interest you have shown in our venerable friend Elpidius;<br />

<strong>and</strong> how with your usual intelligence you have given the prefect an opportunity of showing<br />

his kindness. What I am now writing to ask you is to make this favour complete <strong>and</strong> suggest<br />

to the prefect that he should by a particular order set over our city the man who is full of all<br />

possible care for the public interests. You will therefore have many admirable reasons to<br />

urge upon the prefect for his ordering Elpidius to remain at Cæsarea. <strong>The</strong>re is at all events<br />

no need for you to be taught by me, since you yourself know only too well, what is the position<br />

of affairs, <strong>and</strong> how capable Elpidius in administration.<br />

2273 Of the same date.<br />
