To Antiochus.

My sins have prevented me from carrying out the wish to meet you, which I have long entertained.  Let me apologise by letter for my absence, and beseech you not to omit to remember me in your prayers, that, if I live, I may be permitted to enjoy your society.  If not, by the aid of your prayers may I quit this world with good hope.  I commend to you our brother the camel-master.
