Letter LXXXVIII¶
A FRIENDLY letter of commendation of Priscus.
AMBROSE TO ATTICUS
1. YOU entrusted my friend Priscus with a letter, which he delivered to me, and I now give mine in turn to Priscus. Continue to love Priscus, as you do, and even more than before; this I advise, because I also value my Priscus highly. For I feel towards him that ancient love, which from our childhood upwards has grown together with our years; but it is long since I saw him before, so that not only in name but from so long an interval of time he came to me as truly Priscus.
Farewell: love me your lover, for I also love you.
