Canonical reference 15.13.2
Latin
perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
indutias quas scribis non intellego fieri posse. melior est ἀναντιφωνησία qua me usurum arbitror. quod scribis legiones duas Brundisium venisse, vos omnia prius. scribes igitur quicquid audieris.

I do not understand how the truce you mention can be made. Better is a refusal to answer, which I think I shall employ. As for your report that two legions have reached Brundisium, you people know everything first. Write, therefore, whatever you hear.

Je ne comprends pas comment la trêve dont tu parles pourrait se faire. Mieux vaut l’ἀναντιφώνησις, dont je pense user. Tu écris que deux légions sont arrivées à Brundisium: vous savez toujours tout avant nous. Écris-moi donc tout ce que tu apprendras.
