C. Suvetonii Tranquilli De XII Caesaribus libri VIII. Isaacus Casaubonus iterum recensuit. Accessit ejusdem Animadversionum appendicula. Additi etiam sunt Suetonii libelli De illustribus grammaticis

explain my agitation, and truthfully write back whether it is better to read very poorly than not to do these things at all, or to do them. Farewell.

Suetonius's hesitation in publishing his works. Fulfill at last the promise of my hendecasyllables a specific Greek and Latin poetic meter, which pledged your writings to our common friends; they are called for daily and demanded, and now there is danger that they may be forced to receive a writ for their exhibition. I myself am a procrastinator in publishing, yet you, by your delay, have surpassed even my own hesitation and slowness. Therefore, either break your delays now, or beware lest those same booklets, which my hendecasyllables cannot elicit with flatteries, the scazontes limping iambic verses might extort with abuse. The work is finished and complete, and the moon no longer shines a metaphor for the work being completed, or perhaps that the time for refinement has passed, but is worn away. Allow me to see your title, allow me to hear that the volumes of my Tranquillus are described, read, and sold. It is fair that we, in such mutual love, should receive from you the same pleasure that you enjoy from us. Farewell.
