Letter 768
To the Same Person.
To meet with a friend at intervals I consider altogether safe. For it makes affection more vigorous, and it shows that the things said after some days' interval are both more profitable and more pleasant, and it preserves the honor and reverence befitting true friends perpetually unshaken, and firm, and free from injury.

Latin / Greek Original
Τὸ ἐκ διαλειμμάτων τῷ φίλῳ συντυγχάνειν, πάνυ ἀσφαλὲς νομίζω. Καὶ γὰρ τὴν ἀγάπην ἀκμαιοτέραν ποιεῖ, καὶ τὰ λεγόμενα δι’ ἡμερῶν χρησιμώτερά τε καὶ ἡδέα δείκνυσι, καὶ τὴν πρέπουσαν τοῖς ἀληθινοῖς τῶν φίλων τιμὴν καὶ αἰδὼ φυλάττει διηνεκῶς ἄσειστον, καὶ βεβαίαν, καὶ ἀνεπηρεάςτον.
