1I am glad indeed that you are so strong that you can meet Tiro at Mediolanum, but so that you may go on being so strong, I ask you not to lay so much effort on yourself, against what your age allows. 1Indeed, I insist that you wait for him at home, and inside the house, and even inside the threshold of your bedroom. 2For since he is loved by me as a brother, he ought not to demand from one whom I respect in the place of a parent a duty from which he would have excused his own parent. 2Farewell.
