Canonical reference 10.13.3
Latin
perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
tu , quaeso, si quid in Hispaniis. iam enim poterit audiri et omnes ita exspectant ut, si recte fuerit, nihil negoti futurum putent. ego autem nec retentis iis confectam rem puto neque amissis desperatam. Silium et Ocellam et ceteros credo retardatos. te quoque a Curione impediri video. etsi , ut opinor, habes † ΕΚΙΤΑΟΝΟΝ .

Please send anything you hear from Spain. News should be able to reach us now, and everyone is waiting in such a state that, if things have gone well there, they think there will be no difficulty. For my part, I do not think the matter settled if Spain is retained, nor hopeless if it is lost. I suppose Silius, Ocella, and the others have been delayed. I see that Curio is also preventing you, although, as I think, you have †ΕΚΙΤΑΟΝΟΝ†.

Toi, je t’en prie, écris-moi s’il se passe quelque chose dans les Espagnes. On pourra désormais en avoir des nouvelles, et tous les attendent dans la conviction que, si elles sont bonnes, il ne restera aucune difficulté. Pour moi, je ne considère l’affaire ni comme terminée si ces provinces sont conservées, ni comme désespérée si elles sont perdues. Je crois que Silius, Ocella et les autres ont été retardés. Je vois que Curion te retient toi aussi. Cependant, comme je le pense, tu as †ΕΚΙΤΑΟΝΟΝ†.
