To Andiberis

The reverend presbyter Peter is distinguished not only by his priestly rank, but also by his skilled practice of medicine. During his long stay with us he has won everyone’s heart by his conciliatory manners. On learning of my departure he has now decided to leave Cyrrhus. I therefore commend him to your excellency. He is fully able to do the city good service, for when he lived at Alexandria he practiced the same profession; and I hope he will meet with kindness at your hands. [a]
