perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat

de Bruto tamen, si quid habebis. sciri enim iam puto ubi Pansam exspectet. si , ut consuetudo est, in prima provincia, circiter Kal. adfuturus videtur. vellem tardius; valde enim urbem fugio multas ob causas. itaque id ipsum dubito an excusationem aliquam ad illum parem; quod quidem video facile esse. sed habemus satis temporis ad cogitandum. Piliae, Atticae salutem.

Still, write if you have any news about Brutus. I think it should now be known where he is to meet Pansa. If, as usual, it is in the first town of the province, he seems likely to arrive around the Kalends. I wish it were later, for I greatly avoid the city for many reasons. Consequently I am wondering whether to prepare some excuse for him, which I see would be easy. But we have time enough to consider it. Greetings to Pilia and Attica.

Écris-moi pourtant si tu as quelque chose au sujet de Brutus. Je pense qu’on sait maintenant où il attend Pansa. Si, selon l’usage, il l’attend à la frontière de sa province, il semble devoir arriver vers les calendes. Je voudrais qu’il vînt plus tard, car je fuis vivement Rome pour bien des raisons. Aussi me demandé-je précisément si je ne dois pas préparer quelque excuse à lui présenter ; je vois que ce serait facile. Mais nous avons assez de temps pour y réfléchir. Mes salutations à Pilia et à Attica.
