1I know what reason prevented you from arriving before me in Campania. 1But though absent, you have moved here entirely: so great a store of provisions, both from town and country, has been offered me in your name, all of which, shamelessly, I nevertheless accepted. 2For your people kept asking me to do so, and I was afraid you would be angry both with me and with them if I did not. 2In future, if you do not observe moderation, I shall; 2and I have already warned your people that, if they brought so much again, they would carry it all back. 3You will say that I ought to use your things as if they were mine.
3Yes: but I am as sparing with them as with my own. 3Farewell.
