Lettres à Atticus Passage 3

meam profectionem laudari gaudeo. videndum est ut mansio laudetur. Dymaeos agro pulsos mare infestum habere nil mirum. ἐν ὁμοπλοίᾳ Bruti videtur aliquid praesidi esse, sed, opinor, minuta navigia. sed iam sciam et ad te cras.

I am glad that my departure is praised. We must see that my remaining away is praised too. It is no wonder that the people of Dyme, driven from their land, make the sea unsafe. There seems to be some protection in sailing with Brutus, though I think his vessels are small. But I shall soon know and will write to you tomorrow.

Je me réjouis qu’on approuve mon départ. Il faut veiller à ce qu’on approuve aussi mon séjour. Il n’est pas étonnant que les gens de Dymé, chassés de leurs terres, rendent la mer dangereuse. La navigation de conserve avec Brutus paraît offrir quelque protection, mais ses bâtiments sont, je crois, petits. Je le saurai bientôt et t’écrirai demain.
