Accipite studiosi omnes Auli Gellii Noctes micantissimas: in quibus vigilias [et] somnum pacatissime reponatis. Nihil enim in latinis obstrepet inconcinnum. In graecis minus. Quippe quae nunq[uam] antehac fuerint accuratius emendata. Hinc rerum [et] dictionum speciosarum indicem locupletissimum habetote. Et libri. viii. Quem desideramus capita: quae antehac nunq[uam] in lucem prodierunt.
