Lat. parallel: (Epistula, cont.) Nunc te, fili carissime, docebo quo pacto morem animi tui componas. Igitur praecepta mea ita legito ut intellegas. Legere enim et non intellegere neglegere est ‘I will teach you by what agreement you may devise a moral system for your own mind. Therefore read my precepts in such a way that you may understand; to read and not to understand is to disregard them’. This st. translates the second part of the Epistula.
