The Letters of Cassiodorus / Being a Condensed Translation of the Variae Epistolae of Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator

by Senator Cassiodorus

[742] 'Dicationis tuae.' A peculiar and untranslatable form of respect.

[743] September 1, 533.

[744] 'Trina illatio' (See Var. [ii. 24]). So called because it was collected three times in the year. See Dahn, Könige der Germanen iii. 140; and Sartorius, Regierung der Ostg. 200. The latter seems however to confuse it with the 'tertiae,' from which Dahn very properly distinguishes it.

[745] 'Nundinationes.'

[746] 'Breves.'

[747] 'Scrinia.'

[748] 'Juvante Deo, rerumque Dominis regnantibus.'

[749] 'Sperari a vobis aliquid sola specierum indigentia faciet, non malitiosa venalitas ... nec ad taxationem trahimus quae necessaria non habentur.'

[750] 'Quemadmodum a rerum Dominis mandata suscepimus.'

[751] 'Dicatio tua.'
