Although this is so, it nevertheless matters to us that Plancus should act with a willing and generous spirit. He will certainly do so if you apply that vigor of yours, which I have often observed, and the charm in which no one is your equal. I earnestly ask you to do this.

Bien qu’il en soit ainsi, il nous importe néanmoins que Plancus le fasse de bon cœur et généreusement. Il le fera certainement si tu emploies cette vigueur que je t’ai souvent connue et cette douceur où personne ne t’égale. Je te demande instamment d’agir ainsi.
