Letters to Atticus Passage 2

de satis dando vero te rogo, quoad eris Romae tu ut satis des. et sunt aliquot satisdationes secundum mancipium veluti Mennianorum praediorum vel Atilianorum. de Oppio factum est ut volui, et maxime quod DCCC aperuisti. quae quidem ego utique vel versura facta solvi volo, ne extrema exactio nostrorum nominum exspectetur.

As for providing security, I beg you to furnish it yourself for as long as you remain at Rome. There are also several guarantees relating to the subsequent conveyance, such as those for the Mennian or Atilian estates. The affair with Oppius has been arranged as I wished, especially because you disclosed the eight hundred thousand. I certainly want that sum paid, even by taking out a new loan, so that the final collection of our outstanding debts is not awaited.

Quant aux cautions, je te prie de les fournir toi-même tant que tu seras à Rome. Il existe plusieurs garanties consécutives à une mancipation, par exemple pour les propriétés des Mennii ou celles des Atilii. Pour Oppius, les choses se sont faites comme je le voulais, surtout parce que tu as dégagé les huit cent mille. Je veux absolument acquitter cette somme, fût-ce au moyen d’un emprunt, sans attendre le dernier recouvrement de nos créances.
