Symmachus and his letters - Philhellene - 03-04-2007
I want to translate a passage from Symmachus' letter to Flavius Nikomachus (Sym., Ep., II, 66). I mean
conperto ex relatione Victoris spectabilis viri negotio judicabis
Am I right if I translate this as follows: "[I] found out it in connection with remarkable man named [Aurelius] Victor who practiced jurisprudence"?

Some corrections....
"[I] found out it from spectabilate named [Aurelius] Victor who practiced jurisprudence".
