Ravenna veniens quaestor Licinianus, cum primum tetigit Alpe transmissa Galliae solum, litteras adventus sui praevias misit, quibus indicat esse se gerulum codicillorum, quorum in adventu fratri etiam tuo Ecdicio, cuius aeque titulis ac meis gaudes, honor patricius accedit, celerrime, si cogites eius aetatem, si merita, tardissime.
On his way from Ravenna the quaestor Licinianus, as soon as he had crossed the Alps and touched the soil of Gaul, sent a letter ahead of him. In it he reports that he is the bearer of letters patent, with the arrival of which this honour of the patriciate comes also to your brother Ecdicius, in whose distinctions you take as much delight as in mine.
