Letter 1,28 - to Aristobulus, ex-prefect and imperial secretary. february 591.
"I have heard that you labor under some adversities. But I am not all that distressed over this. For very often a ship, able to reach the open sea after a period of good weather, is checked at the very start of its sea-voyage, with the wind against is, and driven back, it is recalled to port."
