< Letters of Julian

33. To the most reverend Theodora[1]

[362, about the same date as Letter 32]

I was glad to receive all the books that you sent me, and your letters through the excellent Mygdonius.[2] And since I have hardly any leisure, — as the gods know, I speak without affectation, — I have written you these few lines. And now fare-well, and may you always write me letters of the same sort!

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The epithet as well as the preceding letter show that she was a priestess.
  2. ↑ Mygdonius protected Libanius in Constantinople in 343. There is nothing to show whether Julian was at Antioch or Constantinople when he wrote these letters to Theodora.
