[1.] Iam plures sunt dies, quod a Vestra Dominatione nullas accepi litteras, causam nescio. Nos novi aliud hic non habemus, nisi quod Tranquillus2 noster his diebus ex 5 Constantinopoli rediit, nihil afferens aliud, nisi confirmationem eorum novorum de pace, quae fuerant regi, domino nostro clementissimo prius perscripta. Litterae etiam ad Carolum et Ferdinandum imperatoris Turearum, quarum exemplum vidi, hoc idem affirmant. Exspectamus reditum tam domini gubernatoris,3 quam cancellarii,4 qui sciatica5 sua laborabat, fortasse etiam sementiatica [?] et in sinonica [?], quod est eius circa io talium rerum curam studium et cupiditas inexplebilis. [2.] In negotio fratris mei cuperem iam tandem fieri aliquem finem. Sed bonum ac stabilem, et qualem mutuus noster amor et Udes, meaque in te fraterna sinceritas exigit. Nemo est mihi maior testis meae in te plus quam fraternae benivolentiae ac sinceritatis, unico Deo excepto et conscientia mea, quam tu ipse. Illa, quibus consiliarii is fortasse aliqui tui causam meam apud te oppugnant, quam sint aequa, tu ipse videris. Ego tecum habeo agere, non cum illis. Sed credo te officio fraterno non defuturum. Quod ut facias, te vehementer rogo. Et optime vale unacum domina sponsa tua, domino patre nostro communi6 et cum omnibus tuis et nostris. Budae, 4.

See the letter by Brodarics on 17 December. 5 Sciatica is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain. The pain is felt in the lower back, buttock, or various parts of the leg and foot. In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be numbness, muscular weakness, pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. 6 Dénes Hassághy, Constable of Kanizsa. 378
