factum Caesaris de Corfinio totum te probaturum scio et, quo modo in eius modi re, commodius cadere non potuit quam ut res sine sanguine confieret. Balbi mei tuique adventu delectatum te valde gaudeo. is quaecumque tibi de Caesare dixit quaeque Caesar scripsit, scio, re tibi probabit, quaecumque fortuna eius fuerit, verissime scripsisse.

I know that you will entirely approve Caesar's conduct at Corfinium. In an affair of that kind, nothing could have turned out more advantageously than its conclusion without bloodshed. I am very glad that the arrival of my Balbus, and yours, delighted you. Whatever he told you about Caesar, and whatever Caesar wrote, I know that he will prove to you by events to have been written with complete truth, whatever Caesar's fortune may be.

Je sais que tu approuveras entièrement la conduite de César à Corfinium. Dans une affaire de cette nature, elle ne pouvait mieux finir que par un règlement sans effusion de sang. Je suis très heureux que l’arrivée de mon Balbus, qui est aussi le tien, t’ait fait plaisir. Tout ce qu’il t’a dit de César et tout ce que César a écrit, je le sais, il te prouvera par les faits, quelle que soit la fortune de César, que cela fut écrit avec la plus entière vérité.
