Interim dum ego ruri ago, Sicinium Pontianum privignum meum, qui mihi <gratum> factum volebat, impetratos hebeni loculos a muliere honestissima Capitolina ad se attulisse, ex illa potius materia rariore et durabiliore uti faceret adhortatum; id munus cum primis mihi gratum fore.
In the meanwhile, I was in the country when my stepson Sicinius Pontianus, who wanted to do me a kindness, begged some ebony boxes from that excellent woman Capitolina, brought them to him, and urged him to make it from that wood instead, being more rare and more durable; that would make a particularly welcome present.
