Send back to us quickly, in peace and with joy, our envoys Claudius Ephebus and Valerius Bito, together with Fortunatus, so that they may report the sooner the peace and concord we pray and long for, so that we too may the more quickly rejoice over your good order.

Notes

Translation notes

  • The names Claudius and Valerius suggest freedmen of the imperial household. Fortunatus may be the Corinthian named in 1 Cor 16:17.
