Etiam in crastinum diem inuitamus caritatem uestram. Cras illi habent, ut audiuimus, mare in theatro: nos habeamus portum in Christo. Sed quoniam perendino die, id est, quarta sabbati, non possumus ad mensam Cypriani conuenire, quia festiuitas est sanctorum martyrum; crastino ad ipsam mensam conueniamus.
'We invite your Charity also for tomorrow. Tomorrow they have, as we have heard, a sea in the theatre; let us have a port in Christ. Yet since the day after tomorrow, that is on the fourth day after the Sabbath (Wednesday) we cannot gather at the sacred table of Cyprian, for there is a feast of holy martyrs, we will gather at this sacred table tomorrow.'
