Letters to Atticus Passage 7

nos quae monstra cotidie legamus intelleges ex illo libello qui in epistulam coniectus est. Lentulus noster Puteolis est, ἀδημονῶν is, ut Caesius narrat, quid agat. διατροπὴν Corfiniensem reformidat. Pompeio nunc putat satis factum, beneficio Caesaris movetur, sed tamen movetur magis prospectare.

You will understand what monstrous reports we read every day from the little document enclosed in this letter. Our friend Lentulus is at Puteoli, in distress, as Caesius relates, over what he should do. He fears a Corfinian humiliation. He now thinks he has done enough for Pompey and is moved by Caesar's kindness, but he is moved still more to look ahead.

Tu comprendras quelles monstruosités nous lisons chaque jour grâce au petit mémoire joint à cette lettre. Notre Lentulus est à Pouzzoles, ἀδημονῶν, comme le rapporte Caesius, sur ce qu'il doit faire. Il redoute une διατροπὴν comme celle de Corfinium. Il pense avoir maintenant satisfait Pompée et se sent touché par le bienfait de César; pourtant, il se sent davantage poussé à regarder devant lui.
