A short extract from a long letter dealing with affairs in Sicily:
Stude, si domino placuerit, ut mare ante natale beati Cypriani transeas, ne ex signo quod diebus ipsis semper imminet, quod absit, aliquod periculum possit evenire.
‘Make an effort to cross the sea, if it pleases God, before the feast of Saint Cyprian, in case some danger might eventuate (Heaven forbid!) from the sign that is always a threat at that time.'
