Letters to Atticus Passage 1

ut me levarat tuus adventus sic discessus adfiixit. qua re cum poteris, id est cum Sexti auctioni operam dederis, revises nos. vel unus dies mihi erit utilis, quid dicam gratus ? ipse Romam venirem ut una essemus, si satis consultum quadam de re haberem.

As your arrival had relieved me, so your departure has crushed me. Therefore, when you can, that is, when you have attended Sextus's auction, come and see me again. Even a single day will be useful to me, why should I say welcome? I would come to Rome myself so that we might be together, if I had reached a sufficiently settled decision on a certain matter.

Autant ton arrivée m’avait soulagé, autant ton départ m’a abattu. Aussi, dès que tu le pourras, c’est-à-dire lorsque tu te seras occupé de la vente de Sextus, reviens nous voir. Même une seule journée me sera utile, que dis-je, agréable? Je viendrais moi-même à Rome pour que nous soyons ensemble, si j’étais suffisamment fixé sur une certaine affaire.
