Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you; so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brotherhood.
Do your best to come soon to me,
All the saints salute you, especially the Imperial slaves.
I am hoping to see you soon, and we will have a talk. [15] Peace to you! The friends salute you: salute the friends one by one.
The children of your elect Sister greet you.
When you come, bring the mantle I left at Troas with Carpus, also my books, and particularly my paper.
When I recall the tears you shed when we parted, I long by night and day to see you again. That would fill me with joy,
All the saints salute you.
All the brotherhood salutes you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
Thus, when you go before the magistrate with your opponent, do your utmost to get quit of him on the way there, in case he hales you before the judge; then the judge will hand you over to the jailer and the jailer will throw you in prison.
Whenever I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to winter there.
