Ausonius
To Apas of Syria and Kamoul.
It does not contribute
neither to you nor to the others who dwell in the village, to be largely ungrateful.
Since then
I have learned how you, being reluctant, are failing to pay your dues,
make haste to gather
yourselves towards gratitude, and also prepare
the others to be grateful.
For it is neither useful for you
nor for those from the village to owe so much.
I wish you to be strong.

Ausonius
To Apa Sirios and Kamoul.
It is not beneficial, neither for you nor for the others who inhabit the village, to persist in ingratitude for so long.
Since, therefore, I have learned that you are hesitant to pay your own taxes, make haste to encourage yourselves toward gratitude, and at the same time prepare the others to be grateful.
For it is not beneficial, neither for you nor for those from the village, to owe so much.
I wish you good health.
