Letter 3038: The distinguished Dusarius, who rightfully holds a leading position among medical practitioners, has asked me to...
Dusarius, a most distinguished man [vir clarissimus], who rightly holds the foremost place among the professors of the healing art, has desired by his entreaty that his kinsman, who bears the same name as himself, be commended to your patronage through my own. Gladly have I satisfied the wish of so dear a friend, that by one and the same course I might both cultivate you by tendering my greeting and be of service to his interest. See to it, therefore, I beg, that you protect the man here commended with your aid, and that you reward me with a letter in reply. Farewell.
