1Flavius Archippus has begged me by your safety and eternity to send you the petition which he gave me. 1I thought this should be granted to one who asked in such terms, but on condition that I made it known to his accuser that I was going to send it; and I have received a petition from her too and attached it to this letter, so that, having as it were heard both sides, you might more easily consider what you thought should be decided.
