TRAIĀNUS PLĪNIŌ
Cīvitātem Alexandrīnam secundum īnstitūtiōnem prīncipum nōn temere dare prōposuī. Sed cum Arpocrātī, iātraliptae tuō, iam cīvitātem Rōmānam impetrāverīs, huic quoque petītiōnī tuae negāre nōn sustineō. Tū, ex quō nōmō sit, nōtum mihi facere dēbēbis, ut epistulam tibi ad Pompēium Plantam, praefectum Aegyptī, amīcum meum, mittam.
