e Pompeiano navi advectus sum in Luculli nostri hospitium vi Idus hora fere tertia. egressus autem e navi accepi tuas litteras quas tuus tabellarius in Cumanum attulisse dicebatur Nonis Maiis datas. a Lucullo postridie eadem fere hora veni in Puteolanum. ibi accepi duas epistulas, alteram Nonis, alteram vii Idus Lanuvio datas.

I sailed from my Pompeian estate to the house of our friend Lucullus on the sixth day before the Ides, at about the third hour. As I stepped from the ship, I received your letter, which your courier was said to have brought to my Cuman estate, dated the Nones of May. At about the same hour next day I left Lucullus and reached my Puteolan estate. There I received two letters, one dated on the Nones and the other on the seventh day before the Ides, both from Lanuvium.

Je suis venu par bateau de ma propriété de Pompéi jusqu’à la demeure de notre cher Lucullus, six jours avant les ides, vers la troisième heure. En débarquant, j’ai reçu ta lettre, que ton courrier avait, disait-on, apportée à Cumes et qui était datée des nones de mai. Le lendemain, à peu près à la même heure, j’ai quitté Lucullus pour ma propriété de Pouzzoles. J’y ai reçu deux lettres, l’une datée des nones, l’autre du septième jour avant les ides, toutes deux écrites à Lanuvium.
