Pliny, Letter 10.75

Ep. 10.75.1Iūlius, domine, Largus ex Pontō nōndum mihi vīsus ac nē audītus quidem - scīlicet iūdiciō tuō crēdidit - dispēnsātiōnem quandam mihi ergā tē pietātis suae ministeriumque mandāvit.Julius Largus of Pontus, sir, whom I had never seen nor even heard of (evidently he trusted your judgement), has entrusted to me a kind of administration and service of his loyalty towards you. Ep. 10.75.2Rogāvit enim testāmentō, ut hērēditātem suam adīrem cerneremque, ac deinde praeceptīs quīnquāgintā mīlibus nummum reliquum omne Hēraclēōtārum et Tianōrum cīvitātibus redderem, ita ut esset arbitriī meī utrum opera facienda, quae honōrī tuō cōnsecrārentur, putārem an īnstituendōs quīnquennālēs agōnas, quī Trāiānī appellārentur.For he asked me in his will to enter upon and accept his inheritance, and then, after taking out fifty thousand sesterces, to hand over all the rest to the cities of Heraclea and Tium, on condition that it should be at my discretion whether I thought works should be built to be dedicated in your honour, or games held every five years, to be called the Trajanic games. Ep. 10.75.2Quod in nōtitiam tuam perferendum exīstimāvī ob hoc maximē, ut dispicerēs quid ēligere dēbeam.I thought this should be brought to your notice, above all so that you might consider what I ought to choose.
