C. Plinius Caecili Secundi Epistularum Liber Primus 1

C. Plinius Secundus Septicio Suo S. Frequenter hortatus es, ut epistulas, si quas paulo accuratius scripsissem, colligerem publicaremque. He is frequently to the encouragement of St. Gaius Plinius Secundus; Septitius To his own art, such as letters of recommendation, if I have been a little more accurately, I had written, I should have gathered publicaremque. Collegi non servato temporis ordine (neque enim historiam componebam), sed ut quaeque in manus venerat. I gathered in violation of the order of time, (for not even the history of compounding), but as fast as they had come into the hands of. Superest, ut nec te consilii nec me paeniteat obsequii. It remains for us, in order that I may repent me, nor you, nor of the counsel of obedience. Ita enim fiet, ut eas, quae adhuc neglectae iacent, requiram et, si quas addidero, non supprimam. In this way, for it will be done, so that, they must still be at the neglect they are placed, will I seek after, and, if you did them will increase, I will not be suppressed. Vale. Farewell.
