I sent you a letter the day before yesterday about excusing me before Appuleius. I think there is no difficulty. No one you approach will refuse. But see Septimius, Laenas, and Statilius, for three are needed. Laenas, however, had undertaken the whole matter for me.

Je t’avais envoyé hier une lettre au sujet de mon excuse auprès d’Appuleius. Je ne crois pas que l’affaire présente de difficulté. Quel que soit l’homme que tu solliciteras, aucun ne refusera. Mais vois Septimius, Laenas et Statilius, car il en faut trois. Laenas s’était toutefois chargé pour moi de tout.
