Nam etiam eo tempore, quo provinciam circumibas, manente nobis Honorino, minus sensimus absentiam tuam, quamquam te magis desideraremus: paterna in filio aequitas, senilis in iuvene [auctoritas] prudentia, consularis in legato auctoritas, prorsus omnis virtutes tuas ita effingit ac repraesentat, ut medius fidius admirabilior esset in iuvene quam in te patre laus, nisi eam tu talem dedisses.
For even at the time when you were touring the province, because Honorinus remained with us we felt your absence less, though we missed you all the more. The son has his fathers fairness, the youth has an old mans prudence, the legate has a consulars authority. So much does he embody and reproduce all your virtues that, I swear, one might rather admire the excellence of the youth than of you his father, except that you passed it without alteration on to him.
