ad Ursum quoque nostrum, iuvenem candidissimum et sine iactura desidiae doctissimum, scriptam de amisso puero consolationem super ea quae ipsi debeo huic libro libenter inserui, quia honorem eius tibi laturus accepto est.
I put into this book another consolation, which I wrote on the death of his slave to our friend Ursus, a young man of sincere goodwill and literary culture, who loses none of his leisure. I did so gladly because, aside from what I owe himself, he will credit the compliment to you.
