de Cicerone multis res placet. comes est idoneus. sed de prima pensione ante videamus. adest enim dies et ille currit. scribe , quaeso, quid referat Celer egisse Caesarem cum candidatis, utrum ipse in fenicularium an in Martium campum cogitet. et scire sane velim numquid necesse sit comitiis esse Romae. nam et Piliae satis faciendum est et utique Atticae.

Many approve the plan concerning Cicero. He is a suitable companion. But let us first see about the first instalment. The date is at hand, and he is hurrying. Please write what Celer reports that Caesar did with the candidates, and whether Caesar himself intends to go to the hay market or the Campus Martius. I should very much like to know whether I must be in Rome for the elections. For I must satisfy Pilia, and Attica above all.

Au sujet de Cicéron, beaucoup approuvent le projet. C’est un compagnon approprié. Mais examinons d’abord le premier versement. Le jour approche et lui-même presse le pas. Écris-moi, je te prie, ce que Celer rapporte des négociations de César avec les candidats : songe-t-il lui-même au champ des Fenouils ou au Champ de Mars ? Je voudrais vraiment savoir s’il est nécessaire d’être à Rome pour les comices. Il faut en effet donner satisfaction à Pilia et surtout à Attica.
