Cicero at Rome to P. Servilius Isauricus, written some time in 46 BC (the manuscript dateline: Scr. Romae, ut videtur, a. 708). The salutation here gives Servilius the title propr. — propraetor — which is a snapshot of him in transit rather than as governor in residence: the same man whom 13.68 and 13.72 hail as proconsul and conlega. The letter recommends Andro son of Artemo of Laodicea, one of the Greeks who had hosted Cicero in 51–50 BC during his own governorship of Cilicia, when the three dioikēseis (“administrative districts”) of Cibyra, Apamea, and Synnada had been temporarily reassigned from the province of Asia to Cilicia. With the dioceses now returned to Asia under Servilius, Andro falls again within Servilius’s jurisdiction, and Cicero asks that he be received into Servilius’s fides.

The letter is short, plain, and turns on a small bitter aside that one feels was earned: “it does not escape you, who in that province have shown kindness to so very many, how few are found to be grateful.” Andro is offered as the exception — a man who, Cicero says, has shown himself “mindful” of him long after the favour. The one Greek phrase, treis dioikēseis, is the technical term for the three Phrygian conventus assigned to Cilicia in 56 BC and reassigned to Asia under Caesar; Cicero preserves it untranslated because it is the precise administrative term. The Perseus dateline is year-precision; meta/works.yaml may carry a similar placeholder, which is consistent with the file prefix 046bc-.
