St Ambrose of Milan, LF 45

86. Letter 86: Ambrose to Siricius

S. Ambrose speaks briefly in praise of Priscus.

AMBROSE TO SIRICIUS.

1. When Priscus, my friend and co-equal in age, was coming here, you gave him a letter to me, and now that he is returning I give him the reply which I send both to duty and affection. By this service he has recompensed us both, for he has given me yours, and you mine, and therefore ought to reap the reward of this his service by an increase of favour.

Farewell, my brother; love me, for I love you.
