Ad comites istos Phrusios, de quibus nobis Sinceritas Tua perscripsit , non possumus hinc nunc equos eiusmodi, qui ex illorum sententia futuri essent, mittere, propterea quod hic id genus equos non habemus et locorum intercapedine tanta tamquam longinquo itinere commode adduci perducique non possent.

Atque id quicquid est, Sinceritas Tua in praesens boni consulat et bene valeat.
