68. К главному врачу Имнитию

We never cease to glorify you in front of everyone, both as an honest person, and as an excellent doctor, and as a friend who knows how to sincerely love. As soon as we talk about our illness here, you will necessarily come to mind in these stories, and, having repeatedly experienced your great knowledge and your goodwill, we cannot pass by in silence your benefits and divulge them to everyone with a feeling of the greatest pleasure. You instilled in us such love for yourself that, even in perfect health, we would give a lot to drag you here, if only just to look at you. But since this is inconvenient both due to the difficulty of the road and the fear induced by the Isaurians, we are not undertaking this for now, but only ask that you write to us constantly. You are able to reward us with constant correspondence for the pleasure of a personal meeting with you, sweetening your letters with the honey of your good-natured courtesy. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
