Quote from Letter 9.64 to Maurilio, ex-prefect. November-December 598
And so we greet you with paternal affection, and ask that, whenever a chance of writing presents itself, refresh us concerning your health and how things are around you.
Thus, when we have been cheered up over your prosperity, following our desire, we might be able to offer thanks to our Redeemer of your behalf.
Let almighty God protect you with the grace of his compassion, and preserve you unharmed from all adversity and be your guardian.
