de Bruti ad me litteris scripsi ad te antea. prudenter scriptae, sed nihil quod me adiuvarent. quod ad te scripsit id vellem, ut ipse adesset. certe aliquid, quoniam me tam valde amat, adiuvaret. quod si quid scies, scribas ad me velim, maxime autem Pansa quando. de Attica doleo, credo tamen Cratero. Piliam angi veta. satis est me maerere pro omnibus.

I wrote to you before about Brutus' letter to me. It was wisely written, but contained nothing that helped me. As for what he wrote to you, I wish he would come himself. Since he loves me so deeply, he would certainly help me in some way. If you learn anything, please write to me, especially when Pansa is coming. I am sorry about Attica, though I trust Craterus. Prevent Pilia from becoming anxious. It is enough that I grieve for everyone.

Je t’ai déjà écrit au sujet de la lettre que Brutus m’a adressée. Elle était écrite avec prudence, mais ne contenait rien qui pût m’aider. Quant à ce qu’il t’a écrit, je voudrais qu’il fût lui-même présent. Puisqu’il m’aime tant, sa présence m’aiderait certainement un peu. Si tu apprends quelque chose, je voudrais que tu me l’écrives, surtout la date du retour de Pansa. Je souffre pour Attica, mais je crois néanmoins Cratère. Empêche Pilia de se tourmenter. Il suffit que je porte le deuil pour tous.
