perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
Apenas vix discesserat, cum epistula. quid ais? putasne fore ut legem non ferat? dic , oro te, clarius; vix enim mihi exaudisse videor. verum statim fac ut sciam, si modo tibi est commodum. ludis quidem quoniam dies est additus, eo etiam melius hic eum diem cum Dionysio conteremus.

Apenas had scarcely left when your letter arrived. What do you say? Do you think he will not carry the law? Speak more clearly, I beg you, for I seem scarcely to have heard you. Make sure I know immediately, if only it is convenient for you. Since a day has been added to the games, so much the better: I shall spend that day here with Dionysius.

À peine Apenas était-il parti que ta lettre est arrivée. Que dis-tu ? Penses-tu donc qu’il ne fera pas adopter la loi ? Parle, je t’en prie, plus clairement, car il me semble avoir à peine entendu. Mais fais-le-moi savoir aussitôt, si seulement cela te convient. Puisqu’un jour a été ajouté aux jeux, nous passerons ici d’autant plus agréablement cette journée avec Dionysius.
