My teacher, if the pains in your neck ease by the third day, that will help my returning health more than anything else. Today I bathed and walked a little, and I ate somewhat more, though my stomach was not yet eager for it. Farewell, my most delightful teacher. My mother greets you.
145–147 A.D. To my master, greeting. If the pains in your neck get better, even in two days' time, it will help on my convalescence more than anything, my master. I have had a bath and to-day even done a little walking and taken a little more food, but not as yet without discomfort. Farewell, my most delightful of masters. My mother greets you.
ad M. Caesarem 5.30 [74 Hout; 1.200 Haines]
Magistro meo salutem.
Cervicum dolores si tertia quoque die remiserint, erit, quod meam redeuntem valetudinem majorem in modum adjuvet, mi magister. Lavi et hodie et ambulavi paulum, cibi paulo plus sumpsi nondum tamen libente stomacho.
Vale, mi jucundissime magister. Mater mea te salutat.
