perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
nos animo dumtaxat vigemus etiam magis quam cum florebamus, re familiari comminuti sumus. Quinti fratris tamen liberalitati pro facultatibus nostris, ne omnino exhaustus essem, illo recusante subsidiis amicorum respondemus. quid consili de omni nostro statu capiamus te absente nescimus. qua re adpropera.

In spirit at least I am vigorous, even more than when I flourished, but in private means I am diminished. Yet, considering my resources, I respond to my brother Quintus' generosity with assistance from my friends, despite his refusal, so that I may not be utterly exhausted. In your absence I do not know what policy to adopt concerning my entire position. Therefore hurry here.

Pour le courage du moins, nous sommes encore plus vigoureux qu’au temps de notre prospérité, mais notre patrimoine est brisé. Toutefois, afin de ne pas être entièrement épuisé, nous répondons à la générosité de mon frère Quintus selon nos moyens grâce aux secours de nos amis, malgré ses refus. En ton absence, nous ne savons quel parti prendre sur l’ensemble de notre situation. Hâte donc ta venue.
