Letters to Atticus Passage 3

Quintus filius ad patrem acerbissimas litteras misit quae sunt ei redditae cum venissemus in Pompeianum. quarum tamen erat caput Aquiliam novercam non esse laturum. sed hoc tolerabile fortasse, illud vero, se a Caesare habuisse omnia, nihil a patre, reliqua sperare ab Antonio - o perditum hominem! sed μελήσει .

Young Quintus sent an extremely bitter letter to his father, which was delivered when we arrived at the Pompeian estate. Its principal point, however, was that he would not tolerate Aquilia as his stepmother. That may perhaps be bearable, but then he says that he received everything from Caesar, nothing from his father, and expects the rest from Antony. What a ruined creature! But it will be attended to.

Quintus le fils a envoyé à son père une lettre extrêmement amère, qui lui fut remise lorsque nous fûmes arrivés dans ma propriété de Pompéi. Le point principal était néanmoins qu’il ne supporterait pas Aquilia pour belle-mère. Cela est peut-être tolérable; mais il affirme avoir tout reçu de César, rien de son père, et attendre le reste d’Antonius. Ô homme perdu! Mais μελήσει, on s’en occupera.
