Letters to Atticus Passage 1

duas a te accepi epistulas heri. ex priore theatrum Publiliumque cognovi, bona signa consentientis multitudinis. plausus vero L. Cassio datus etiam facetus mihi quidem visus est.

I received two letters from you yesterday. From the first I learned about the theatre and Publilius. Those are good signs of popular unanimity. The applause given to Lucius Cassius struck me as particularly witty.

J’ai reçu hier deux lettres de toi. La première m’a renseigné sur le théâtre et sur Publilius: bons signes de l’accord de la foule. Quant aux applaudissements adressés à L. Cassius, ils m’ont même paru spirituels.
