Letters to Atticus Passage 2

sed haec, si tibi erit commodum. ipse vero utique fac venias, si potes in his locis adhaerescere et Piliam adducere. ita enim et aequum est et cupit Tullia. medius fidius ne tu emisti λόχον praeclarum. gladiatores audio pugnare mirifice. si locare voluisses, duobus his muneribus liber esses. sed haec posterius. tu fac venias et de librariis, si me amas, agas diligenter.

But do this only if it is convenient for you. As for yourself, make sure you come if you can remain attached to this region, and bring Pilia. That is both fair and what Tullia desires. By the god of faith, you have bought a splendid company. I hear the gladiators fight marvelously. If you had wished to hire them out, you would have been free of the cost of these two shows. But more of this later. Make sure that you come and, if you love me, attend carefully to the copyists.

Mais seulement si cela te convient. Toi-même, fais absolument en sorte de venir, si tu peux rester quelque temps dans ces lieux, et amène Pilia. C’est juste, et Tullia le désire. Par ma foi, tu as acheté une troupe magnifique. J’entends dire que tes gladiateurs combattent merveilleusement. Si tu avais voulu les louer, ces deux spectacles t’auraient libéré de tes frais. Mais nous en reparlerons. Toi, fais en sorte de venir et, si tu m’aimes, occupe-toi soigneusement des copistes.
