Lettres à Atticus Passage 2

quod negas praecipuum mihi ullum in communibus incommodis impendere, etsi ista res non nihil habet consolationis, tamen etiam praecipua multa sunt quae tu profecto vides et gravissima esse et me facillime vitare potuisse. ea tamen erunt minora si, ut adhuc factum est, administratione diligentiaque tua levabuntur.

You say that no special danger threatens me amid our common misfortunes. Although that offers some consolation, there are nevertheless many special dangers which you surely see are extremely grave and which I could very easily have avoided. Yet they will be lessened if, as has happened until now, your management and diligence alleviate them.

Tu affirmes qu’au milieu des malheurs communs aucun péril particulier ne me menace. Bien que cette pensée apporte quelque consolation, il existe pourtant bien des malheurs qui me sont propres, dont tu vois certainement toute la gravité et que j’aurais pu très facilement éviter. Ils seront néanmoins moins lourds si, comme jusqu’ici, ton administration et ta vigilance les allègent.
