Letter 581
To Eustathius the Decanus [a decanus, a minor official or courier].
Not only does the practice of virtue procure splendid crowns, but the praise of those who pursue virtue likewise brings a reward not to be despised. For you glorify those who fear the Lord, O lover of Christ.

Latin / Greek Original
Οὐ μόνον τὸ τὴν ἀρετὴν κατεργάζεσθαι στεφάνους λαμπροὺς προξενεῖ, ἀλλὰ δὴ καὶ τὸ ἐπαινεῖν τοὺς ἐξασκοῦντας τὴν ἀρετήν, μισθὸν φέρει οὐκ εὐκαταφρόνητον. Τοὺς γὰρ φοδουμένους τὸν Κύριον δοξάζεις, φιλόχριστε.
