Canonical reference 2.22.4

Latin

perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat

nunc mihi et consiliis opus est tuis et amore et fide. qua re advola. expedita mihi erunt omnia si te habebo. multa per Varronem nostrum agi possunt quae te urgente erunt firmiora, multa ab ipso Publio elici, multa cognosci quae tibi occulta esse non poterunt, multa etiam - sed absurdum est singula explicare cum ego requiram te ad omnia.

Now I need your counsel, affection, and loyalty. Therefore fly here. If I have you, everything will be manageable. Much can be done through our Varro, and will be firmer if you press him; much can be drawn from Publius himself; much can be learned that could not remain hidden from you; much also... But it is absurd to explain every particular when I require you for everything.

J’ai maintenant besoin de tes conseils, de ton affection et de ta fidélité. Vole donc vers moi. Tout me sera facile si je te possède. Beaucoup de choses peuvent se faire par notre Varron et seront plus solides si tu le presses; beaucoup peuvent être tirées de Publius lui-même; beaucoup peuvent être découvertes et ne sauraient te rester cachées; beaucoup encore... Mais il est absurde d’exposer chaque point puisque je te réclame pour tous.
