Letters to Atticus Passage 1

Hirti librum, ut facis, divulga. de Philotimo idem et ego arbitrabar. domum tuam pluris video futuram vicino Caesare. tabellarium meum hodie exspectamus. nos de Pilia et Attica certiores faciet. domi te libenter esse facile credo. sed velim scire quid tibi restet aut iamne confeceris. ego te in Tusculano exspecto eoque magis quod Tironi statim te venturum scripsisti et addidisti te putare opus esse.

Continue circulating Hirtius's book as you are doing. I too held the same opinion of Philotimus. I see that your house will become more valuable with Caesar as its neighbor. We expect my courier today. He will give us firmer news about Pilia and Attica. I readily believe that you are glad to be at home. But I should like to know what remains for you to do, or whether you have already finished. I await you at Tusculum, all the more because you wrote to Tiro that you would come at once and added that you thought it necessary.

Diffuse le livre d’Hirtius, comme tu le fais. Sur Philotimus, je pensais la même chose. Je vois que ta maison vaudra davantage avec César pour voisin. Nous attendons aujourd’hui mon courrier. Il nous donnera des nouvelles plus certaines de Pilia et d’Attica. Je crois volontiers que tu aimes rester chez toi. Mais je voudrais savoir ce qu’il te reste à faire, ou si tu as déjà tout achevé. Je t’attends à Tusculum, d’autant plus que tu as écrit à Tiron que tu viendrais aussitôt et ajouté que tu jugeais ta présence nécessaire.
