Salve.

Domine Orator.

Ne te pigeat pro tuo rarissimo candore cras mecum esse in prandio. In quo non tam exspectabis Apicianas lautitias Vitellianaque fercula, quam convivium paene Socraticum - nisi quod fo carebis fortassis glande fabisque (ni fallor) - non, quod erga talem amicum, qualis tu es, velim esse sordidus, sed ne post frequentes propinationes, quas mea ex part stain⌈[part]part stain⌉e tibi polliceor, oppleti pecuinis bellariis, Cyrcen iratam experiamur. Id tibi persuadea stain⌈[ea]ea stain⌉s, vir iucundissime, neminem in iis equidem partibus Culmensi episcopo mihi optabiliore stain⌈[ore]ore stain⌉m esse, non in conviviis modo, sed etiam ubique loci, cum amicitiae vires experiri licueri stain⌈[ueri]ueri stain⌉t.

Tuus ex animo Eliota eques
