Salve, Marcelline! Haec tibi scribo de Fundano, amico nostro; is filiam caram et bellam amisit. Illa puella non XIII annos vixerat, sed natura ei multam sapientiam dederat. Matrem patremque, fratrem sororemque, nos et alios amicos, magistros magistrasque semper amabat, et nos eam amabamus laudabamusque. Medici eam adiuvare non poterant.
