Non quin magnitudo Carthaginis mereatur etiam <a> philosopho precem pro honore, sed ut integrum et intemeratum esset vestrum beneficium, si nihil ex gratia eius petitio mea defregisset, id est, ut usque quaque esset gratuitum.
Not that the great city of Carthage does not deserve that even a philosopher should beg for an honor, but so that your act of generosity should be entire and unimpaired, with none of its spontaneity diminished by a request from me; that is, so that it should be spontaneous to the highest degree.
