quapropter, etsi ad integrum conicere non possum, quantas tibi gratias Arelatenses Reienses, Avenniocus Arausionensis quoque et Albensis, Valentinaeque nec non et Tricastinae urbis possessor exsolvat, quia difficile est eorum ex asse vota metiri, quibus noveris alimoniam sine asse collatam, Arverni tamen oppidi ego nomine uberes perquam gratias ago, cui ut succurrere meditarere, non te communio provinciae, non proximitas civitatis, non opportunitas fluvii, non oblatio pretii adduxit.
Accordingly, although I can only partially guess the amount of grateful recognition paid to you by the people of Aries and Riez, your man of Avignon, Orange, Viviers, residents of the cities Valence and Trois-Chteaux, because it is difficult to estimate to the last farthing the benedictions of those on whom (as one knows) sustenance has been lavished without a farthing to pay, in the name of the Arvernian capital at least I offer you limitless thanks. In this case thought of succouring was not prompted by community of province, by nearness of city to city, by the convenience of a river, or by an offer of payments.
