In this letter, Symmachus consoles African bishops on their plight. He ends the letter by responding to an earlier request for relics:
Quod tamen directis ad filium nostrum H. diaconum litteris sperastis, beatorum Nazarii et Romani benedictionem poscentes, fidelibus non negamus. Accipite veneranda patrocinia invictorum militum.
Yet because you hope, with the letter sent to our son the deacon H., asking for the relics of blessed Nazarius and Romanus, we do not deny you with faith. Accept the honoured protection of unconquered soldiers.
