de litterarum missione sine causa abs te accusor. numquam enim a Pomponia nostra certior sum factus esse cui dare litteras possem, porro autem neque mihi accidit ut haberem qui in Epirum proficisceretur nequedum te Athenis esse audiebamus.

You blame me without cause for failing to send letters. Our Pomponia never informed me that there was anyone to whom I could entrust a letter. Moreover, I happened to have nobody setting out for Epirus, and we had not yet heard that you were at Athens.

Tu m’accuses sans raison de ne pas t’envoyer de lettres. En effet, notre Pomponia ne m’a jamais averti qu’il se trouvait quelqu’un à qui je pourrais en confier; par ailleurs, je n’ai rencontré personne qui partît pour l’Épire, et nous n’avions pas encore appris que tu étais à Athènes.
