Marcellinus, a man of excellent standing who bears this letter, is traveling to your city and has need of such assistance as your position allows you to provide. I commend him to you with confidence in your goodwill. His business concerns Maximus of Salona, whose reconciliation with this see is ongoing, and your knowledge of the court can smooth what might otherwise be a difficult path. Please receive Marcellinus well and do what you can for him. Your service to this see in Constantinople has been invaluable, and I ask one more instance of it now.
