Letters to Atticus Passage 1

ego vero utar prorogatione diei, tuque humanissime fecisti qui me certiorem feceris atque ita ut eo tempore acciperem litteras quo non exspectarem tuque ut ab ludis scriberes. sunt omnino mihi quaedam agenda Romae sed consequemur biduo post.

I shall indeed take advantage of the postponement. It was most considerate of you to inform me, and to arrange that I received your letter at a time when I did not expect it, while you wrote from the games. I certainly have some business to conduct at Rome, but we shall accomplish it two days later.

Je profiterai assurément du report de la date. Tu as agi avec la plus grande bonté en m’en informant, et de telle sorte que j’ai reçu ta lettre à un moment où je ne l’attendais pas, tandis que tu écrivais depuis les jeux. J’ai certes certaines affaires à régler à Rome, mais nous pourrons les atteindre deux jours plus tard.
