1. He has heard from Statileo that Brodarics is in Rome again as an envoy, something which he heard with satisfaction knowing Brodarics 'loyalty. - 2. He asks Brodarics to keep representing him and his subjects in their affairs and to keep informing him about developments.

Reverende sincere nobis Dilecte.

[1.] Retulit nobis reverendus loannes Statilius, praepositus Eursiensis2 et serenissimi domini Ludovici Hungáriáé et Bohemiae regis nepotis nostri carissimi apud nos orator te iterum Romae oratorem agere, quae res sint nobis acceptissima, experti enim sumus 5 tuam erga nos fidem et propensionem, experti diligentiam et curam in obeundis negotiis nostris, quae istic Romae eveniebant. Proindeque et commendavimus iam saepe ipsi serenissimo domino nepoti nostro virtutem et merita tua et commendare in dies magis non desistemus.

1 The letter can be dated based on Statileo's legation and the return of Brodarics to Rome. Statileo went to Cracow as an envoy in the spring of 1525 and got an answer from the Polish King on 12 April (see AT VII. 241). Brodarics left for Rome in late February 1525. On 5 March he was still in Pécs (he got a letter of commission from Bishop Fülőp Csulai Móré then), so the earliest he could reach the Eternal City was in April.- János Statileo (Statilius in Latin form, Statilic in Croatian) (1472-1542), Provost of Óbuda, later Transylvanian Bishop of János Szapolyai (1528-1542).
