TRAIĀNUS PLĪNIŌ
Quid oporteat fierī circā theātrum, quod incohātum apud Nicaeēnsēs est, in rē praesentī optimē dēlīberābis et cōnstituēs. Mihi sufficiet indicārī, cui sententiae accesserīs. Tunc autem ā prīvātīs exige opera, cum theātrum, propter quod illa prōmissa sunt, factum erit. [2] Gymnasiīs indulgent Graeculī; ideō forsitan Nicaeensēs maiōre animō cōnstrūctiōnem eius adgressī sunt: sed oportet illōs eō contentōs esse, quod possit illīs sufficere. [3] Quid Claudiopolītānīs circā balineum quod parum, ut scrībīs, idōneō locō incohāvērunt suādendum sit, tū cōnstituēs. Architectī tibi dēesse nōn possunt. Nūlla prōvincia nōn et perītōs et ingeniōsōs hominēs habet; modo nē exīstimēs brevius esse ab urbe mittī, cum ex Graeciā etiam ad nōs venīre solitī sint.
