quod scribis a Iunio te appellatum, omnino Cornificius locuples est; sed tamen scire velim quando dicar spopondisse et pro patre anne pro filio. neque eo minus, ut scribis, procuratores Cornifici et Appuleium praediatorem videbis.

As for your writing that Junius approached you, Cornificius is certainly wealthy. Still, I should like to know when I am alleged to have given surety, and whether it was for the father or the son. Nonetheless, as you write, you will see Cornificius' agents and Appuleius, the holder of the mortgaged property.

Tu écris que Junius t’a interpellé. Cornificius est assurément riche ; mais je voudrais cependant savoir à quelle date on prétend que je me suis porté garant, et si c’était pour le père ou pour le fils. Tu n’en verras pas moins, comme tu l’écris, les fondés de pouvoir de Cornificius et Appuleius, détenteur du gage.
