Fronto to Marcus Aurelius:
To my lord:
If you love me at
all, get some sleep the night before you come into the Senate, so you can give
your speech with a healthy appearance and a strong voice.
Marcus Aurelius to Fronto:
To my teacher:
I will never love
you enough! I’ll get some sleep.
Domino Meo.
Si quicquam nos
amas, dormi per istas noctes, ut forti colore in senatum venias et vehementi
latere legas.
Magistro meo:
Ego te numquam satis
amabo: dormiam.
--Fronto, Ad M.
Caes. 5.1, 5.2
