Suet. Aug. 50 The Deified Augustus, Suetonius; served verbatim
In passports,* dispatches, and private letters hc used as his seal at first a sphinx, later an image of Alexander the Great, and finally his own, carved by the hand of Dioscurides ; and this his successors continued to use as their seal. He always attached to all letters the exact hour, not only of the day, but even of the night, to indicate precisely when they were written.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
