Audesne te ergo, Aemiliane, cum Avito conferre? Quemne ille bonum virum ait, cuius animi dispositionem tam plene suis litteris collaudat, eum tu magiae <et> maleficii criminis insectabere? An invasisse me domum Pudentillae et concipilare bona eius tu magis dolere debes quam doluisset Pontianus, qui mihi ob paucorum dierum vestro scilicet instinctu ortas simultates etiam absenti apud Avitum satisfecit, qui mihi apud tantum virum gratias egit? Puta me acta apud Avitum, non litteras ipsius legisse.
Well, Aemilianus, do you dare to oppose Avitus? When he calls someone a good man, and praises his cast of mind so highly in his letter, will you attack that man with a charge of magic and poisoning? Ought you to complain that I have broken into Pudentillas home and plundered her property more than Pontianus would have done'Pontianus who apologized to me before Avitus, though I was absent, because of a few days quarrel which you of course had caused, and who thanked me before that great man? Suppose I had read the records before Avitus and not Pontianus own letter.
