• αʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 7.11:

Remoto ioco tibi hoc amicissimo animo praecipio, ut, si istic mea commendatione tuam dignitatem obtinebis, perferas nostri desiderium, honestatem et facultates tuas augeas.

Jokes aside I am advising you in the friendliest of spirits, if you earn your post based on my commendation, to endure missing me and work on increasing your honor and wealth.
