Letter 117
To Heliodorus
Rumor says that you have great influence with the present prefect of Egypt, and in this speaks the truth. You are worthy of such an influence, for you use your power honourably. Here then is an excellent opportunity for displaying your kindness as well as your power. My dear Eusebius stands in need of both. Hear what he has to say, and you will learn that I am recommending to you one who is also an orator.
