Letter 6008: Though the consolation of your letters has been withdrawn from me — for my sins — I still do not cease writing,...

Ennodius to Senarius. Although on account of my sins even the consolations of your letters are withdrawn, I nevertheless, mindful of the debt by which through your kindness you have bound me to be one who remembers God, do not neglect to write, hoping, lord Senarius, that you may always give heed to the God whom you have had in mind on my behalf, and that you may frequently bestow upon me the gift of your letters. My lord, I greet you most warmly with the customary reverence, and I implore that throughout all the basilicas of the saints you may not cease to entreat God on behalf of my affliction.

VIII. ENNODIVS SENARIO. Quamuis pro peccatis meis etiam litterarum uestrarum solacia subducantur, ego tamen memor debiti, quo me per gratiam uestram ut dei memores obligastis, scribere non omitto, sperans, domne Senari, ut deum, quem in me cogitasti, semper attendas et frequenter mihi litterarum uestrarum munus inpertias. domine mi, saluto plurimum reuerentia consueta et inploro, ut per omnes sanctorum basilicas pro adflictione mea deum rogare non desinas.
