To Anastasius [one of Synesius's closest friends, an important courtier in Constantinople and tutor to the children of Emperor Arcadius].

I am overjoyed — and for what reason, do you think? From the bottom of my heart I rejoice to hear that those golden children have by imperial decree become legally your own. This is the most wonderful news. May you enjoy them for many years.
