Now, my dear Atticus, devote your whole mind to this question, for it is important. There are three alternatives: should I remain at Arpinum, come nearer, or go to Rome? I shall do whatever you advise, but answer as soon as possible. I eagerly await your letter. From Sinuessa, on the morning of 8 November.

Maintenant, mon cher Atticus, applique tout ton esprit à cette question, car elle est importante. Trois choix se présentent: rester à Arpinum, m’approcher davantage ou venir à Rome. Je ferai ce que tu décideras. Mais réponds au plus tôt. J’attends avidement ta lettre. De Sinuessa, le matin du 8 novembre.
