perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
signa nostra et Hermeraclas, ut scribis, cum commodissime poteris velim imponas, et si quod aliud οἰκεῖον eius loci quem non ignoras reperies et maxime quae tibi palaestrae gymnasique videbuntur esse. etenim ibi sedens haec ad te scribebam ut me locus ipse admoneret. praeterea typos tibi mando quos in tectorio atrioli possim includere et putealia sigillata duo.

Please put my statues and the Hermeracles aboard ship, as you write, whenever you most conveniently can, together with anything else you find appropriate to the place you know, especially objects that seem suited to a palaestra and gymnasium. Indeed, I was sitting there as I wrote this to you, so that the place itself reminded me. In addition, I commission reliefs from you that I can set into the stucco of the small atrium, and two wellheads decorated with figures.

Pour nos statues et nos Hermeraclès, je voudrais que tu les embarques, comme tu l’écris, dès que tu le pourras commodément. Ajoute tout autre objet οἰκεῖον au lieu que tu connais bien, surtout ceux qui te paraîtront convenir à la palestre et au gymnase. C’est précisément assis en ce lieu que je t’écrivais, afin que l’endroit lui-même me rappelât ce dont j’avais besoin. En outre, je te commande des reliefs que je puisse encastrer dans l’enduit du petit atrium, ainsi que deux margelles de puits ornées de figures.
