Marcus Cornelius FrontoUnknown|c. 166 AD|Marcus Cornelius Fronto|From Rome (career hub)|AI-assisted

Fronto to Junius Maximus, greeting.

Through our friend Ulpius [...] [...] this herald of your integrity and your seriousness of character, whom I am eager for you to send back to me with all speed. For with no one else do I enjoy so close an intimacy, or so great a habit of sharing my pursuits and my love of the noble arts. He will be more delightful to me still when, between us, we go back over and review again our conversations about you.

ad amicos 1.26 [185 Hout; 2.244 Haines]
Fronto Junio Maximo salutem.
Per Ulpium nostrum <...>
<...> honestatis gravitatisque tuae praedicatorem, quem cupio ad me celeriter remittas. Neque enim cum alio ullo tanta familiaritas est aut tantus usus studiorum bonarumque artium communicandi. Multo etiam mihi jucundior erit, quom sermones de te mutuo recolemus ac recensebimus.
