Letter 457
To Eusebius. (355/356)
I myself fell ill during the summer; Albanius during the autumn. In both cases the cause was the same: overwork in our studies.
If anyone is planning to uproot me from here, persuade him that I intend to stay -- both because the authorities allow it and because I have found a way to remain even if they did not.
