[1.] Mittimus cum domino meo reverendissimo Colocensi1 2 ad vos litteras illustris domini Gritti, quae nunc venerunt in aliis ad regem scriptis. Scriptum erat disjunctive, 5 ut vel me, vel Vestram Dominationem rex ad se mitteret.3 Itaque te absente, ego vado, et hodie discedo4 acturus ibi publica iuxta commissionem regiam privata vero, quantum videbitur, accommodando me ad temporis qualitates. Non videtur autem amicitia hominis spernenda in nos amorem solitum praeseferentis. Observandum est tempori, cui servire habitum est semper viri sapientis. De te et de tuo erga illum animo omnia io sum dicturus bona et placita. Et tibi quoque id ambo consulimus, ut te accommodes ad tempus; ita est et publicae rei melius et tibi honorificentius. Vellemus autem et consulimus, immo pro fraterna pietate imperamus tibi, ut venias omnino ad regem, ad quem credimus ipsum quoque dominum Gritti venturum. [2.] Alia non sunt. Quae erunt, ad te perscribentur. Commenda me amicis communi1 Autograph. 2 Ferenc Frangepán. 3 Gritti left Istanbul in late February 1532 with an army of several hundred, tte summoned Nádasdy in Tirgovi$te, Wallachia on 22 March.
