1You commend Julius Naso to me as a candidate. 1Naso to me? 1What if you commended me to myself? 1Still, I bear it and forgive you. 1For I should have commended the same man to you, if you had been staying in Rome and I had been away. 2Anxiety has this quality, that it thinks everything necessary. 2Still, I suggest that you ask others; 2I shall be the servant, helper and partner of your entreaties. 2Farewell.
