Maias. eo die Neapoli apud Paetum. ante diem IIII Kal. Maias iens in Pompeianum bene mane haec scripsi.

I am grateful for your writing that you will commend my glory to Lucceius, and for your frequent visits to my building. My brother Quintus has written to me that, since you have the delightful Cicero with you, he will come to you on 7 May. I left my place at Cumae on 27 April. That day I stayed with Paetus at Naples. Early on the morning of 28 April, while traveling to my estate at Pompeii, I wrote this.

Tu écris que tu recommanderas notre gloire à Lucceius et tu visites souvent notre édifice. Cela m’est agréable. Mon frère Quintus m’a écrit que, puisque tu avais auprès de toi le délicieux Cicéron, il viendrait chez toi aux nones de mai. J’ai quitté ma villa de Cumes le cinquième jour avant les calendes de mai. Ce jour-là, j’étais à Naples chez Paetus. Le quatrième jour avant les calendes de mai, en route pour ma villa de Pompéi, j’ai écrit ceci de grand matin.
