Lettres à Atticus Passage 2

sed quid est, quaeso, quod agripetas Buthroti concisos audio? quid autem Plancus tam cursim (ita enim inaudiebam) diem et noctem? sane cupio scire quid sit.

But please, what is this report I hear that the land-grabbers at Buthrotum have been cut to pieces? And why is Plancus traveling so rapidly, day and night, as I was hearing? I am very eager to know what has happened.

Mais qu’est-ce donc, je t’en prie, que cette nouvelle selon laquelle les colons de Buthrote auraient été taillés en pièces? Et pourquoi Plancus voyage-t-il si précipitamment, jour et nuit, comme je l’avais entendu dire? Je désire vivement savoir ce qu’il en est.
