Canonical reference 7.3.6
Latin
perseus-cicero-letters_to_atticus-lat
nunc venio ad privata; fere enim respondi tuis litteris de re publica et iis quas in suburbano et iis quas postea scripsisti. ad privata venio. unum etiam de Caelio tantum abest ut meam ille sententiam moveat ut valde ego ipsi quod de sua sententia decesserit paenitendum putem. sed quid est quod ei vici Luccei sint addicti? hoc te praetermisisse miror.

Now I come to private affairs, for I have answered almost everything in your letters about the Republic, both those you wrote in the suburbs and those written afterward. I come, then, to private matters. One point about Caelius: so far is he from changing my opinion that I think he himself has great cause to regret abandoning his own. But why have Lucceius’ estates been adjudged to him? I am surprised that you omitted this.

J’en viens maintenant aux affaires privées; j’ai en effet répondu à peu près à tes lettres sur la république, tant à celles que tu as écrites dans ta maison de banlieue qu’aux suivantes. J’en viens donc aux affaires privées. Un mot encore sur Caelius: il est si loin de modifier mon avis que je crois au contraire qu’il devrait vivement regretter d’avoir abandonné le sien. Mais pourquoi les domaines de Lucceius lui ont-ils été adjugés? Je m’étonne que tu aies omis ce point.
