Latin
perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
quid superest? etiam . gener est suavis mihi, Tulliae, Terentiae. quantumvis vel ingeni vel humanitatis, †satis†; reliqua, quae nosti, ferenda. scis enim quos †aperierimus†. qui omnes praeter eum de quo per te egimus, †reum† me facerent. ipsis enim expensum nemo feret. sed haec coram; nam multi sermonis sunt. Tironis reficiendi spes est in M'. Curio, cui ego scripsi tibi eum gratissimum facturum. data v Idus Decembr. a Pontio ex Trebulano.

What remains? This too. My son-in-law is agreeable to me, to Tullia, and to Terentia. As much talent or cultivation as you please, †enough†; the rest, which you know, must be endured. For you know whom we have †laid open†. All of them, except the man whose case we handled through you, would make me †a defendant†. No one will carry the sum as paid out to them personally. But we shall discuss this face to face, for it needs much conversation. Our hope of restoring Tiro rests in Manius Curius, to whom I wrote that he would do you a most welcome service. Written on 9 December by Pontius, from the estate at Trebula.

Que reste-t-il? Ceci encore. Mon gendre m’est agréable, ainsi qu’à Tullia et à Terentia. Autant qu’on voudra d’intelligence ou d’humanité, †assez†; le reste, que tu connais, doit être supporté. Tu sais en effet lesquels nous avons †découverts†. Tous, sauf celui dont nous avons traité par ton intermédiaire, feraient de moi un †accusé†. Personne, en effet, ne portera la somme à leur débit. Mais nous en parlerons de vive voix, car la matière est longue. L’espoir du rétablissement de Tiron repose sur Manius Curius, auquel j’ai écrit qu’en cela il t’obligerait très vivement. Donnée le cinquième jour avant les ides de décembre par Pontius, depuis son domaine de Trébula.
