quocirca me quoque volente posside indultum, sed liberaliter (nec enim, ut suspicor, plus aliquid hoc genere solacii vel ipse quaesisti), quem litteris istis non commendatoriis minus quam refusoriis iam placatus insinuo; sic tamen, ut tibi assistat, tibi pareat, te sequatur atque ut, si permanserit tecum, neutri nostrum iudicetur famulus, si forte discesserit, quaeratur utrique fugitivus.
So, by my wish as well as your own, take possession of the man I have now resigned to you; but be a generous master too (for I imagine that even you did not seek anything more from me than this kind of assistance). Having got over my annoyance, I introduce him to you in this letter, which is no less commendatory than dismissory'but on the understanding that he will assist you, obey you, and follow you, and that if he remains with you neither of us will regard him as our servant; but that, if he should leave you, we will both go seeking the runaway.
