To the Comes Privatarum.Letter CCCIII.To the Comes Privatarum.You have, I think, been led to impose a contribution of mares 3261 on these people byfalse information on the part of the inhabitants. What is going on is quite unfair. It cannotbut be displeasing to your excellency, <strong>and</strong> is distressing to me on account of my intimateconnexion with the victims of the wrong. I have therefore lost no time in begging yourLordship not to allow these promoters of iniquity to succeed in their malevolence.3261 φοράδων τέλεσυα. “Recte Scultetum castigat Combefisius quod raptim vectigal reddiderit. At idem immeritoputat ob equarum possessionem tributum aliquod ejusmodi hominibus impositum fuisse. Perspicuum estequas ipsas iis, quibus patrocinatur <strong>Basil</strong>ius, imperatas fuisse, idque in multæ magis quam in tributi loco; si quidemeos comes rei privatæ falsis criminationibus deceptus damnaverat. Sic etiam Greg. Naz., Ep. clxxxiv. Nemesiumflectere conatur qui Valentiniano equarum multam ob aliquod delictum inflexerat. Nec mirum est in Cappadocia,quæ optimos equos alebat, ejusmodi multas impossitas fuisse.” Ben. note.875
