cum vero iam angerer et timerem ne quid a me dedecoris esset admissum, iii Nonas Mart., tamen te non esse una cum Pompeio non fero moleste. postea , si opus fuerit, non erit difficile, et illi, quoquo tempore fiet, erit ἀσμένιστον ; sed hoc ita dico si hic qua ratione initium fecit eadem cetera aget, sincere, temperate, prudenter, valde videro et consideratius utilitati nostrae consuluero.

Even when I was already tormented and feared that I had admitted some disgrace, you wrote on 5 March: “Yet I am not distressed that you are not with Pompey. Afterwards, if necessary, it will not be difficult, and whenever it happens it will be most welcome to him. But I say this only if Caesar conducts the rest as he began, honestly, moderately, and prudently. I shall observe very carefully and consult our interest with greater deliberation.”

Alors que déjà l'angoisse me saisissait et que je craignais d'avoir commis quelque action déshonorante, tu écrivais pourtant le 5 mars: «Je ne supporte pas avec peine que tu ne sois pas parti avec Pompée. Plus tard, si cela est nécessaire, ce ne sera pas difficile et, à quelque moment que cela se fasse, il l'accueillera ἀσμένιστον. Mais je dis cela à condition que cet homme conduise la suite comme il a commencé: avec sincérité, modération et sagesse. J'y regarderai très attentivement et veillerai à nos intérêts avec plus de réflexion.»
