Quis enim a te non amet discere quanam moderatione obtineri queat tua ista gravitas iucunda, mitis austeritas, placida constantia blandusque vigor? Neminem proconsulum, quod sciam, provincia Africa magis reverita est, minus verita: nullo nisi tuo anno ad coercenda peccata plus pudor quam timor valuit.
For who would not be glad to learn from you what sort of moderation can give a man that affable gravity of yours, your tempered severity, your calm steadiness, your gentle energy? No proconsul to my knowledge has been more revered and less feared by the province of Africa; in no year other than yours has self-respect been more able than fear to check wrongdoing.
