You have been silent for a long time, despite the fact that you have next to you my most honest and most reverent master, Deacon Theodotus, who can easily find those going from there to here. But at the same time, we do not allow the suspicion that your love for us has become any colder, because many times we have already had the opportunity to fully verify it through experience and we know that it is pure, genuine, sincere and unchanging. Therefore, whether you write or remain silent, we are equally disposed towards your nobility and boldly hope that your disposition towards us will always remain intact and unharmed. Nevertheless, and with such confidence on our part, it would be very pleasant for us to constantly receive letters from you, pleasing us with news about the health of you and your entire home, since we fervently wish it for you and deeply value it, as you know. Knowing this, my most modest and noble lady, give us this pleasure, easy, convenient, fair and able to bring us great reinforcement amid the hardships of our life in the desert. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” From Kukuz in 405, like the letter to Theodotus. You might be interested in:
