Lettres à Atticus Passage 2

de Dionysio sum admiratus qui apud me honoratior fuit quam apud Scipionem Panaetius; a quo impurissime haec nostra fortuna despecta est. odi hominem et odero; utinam ulcisci possem! sed illum ulciscentur mores sui.

I was astonished at Dionysius, who was held in greater honor by me than Panaetius was by Scipio. He treated our present fortune with the basest contempt. I hate the man and shall continue to hate him. If only I could take vengeance! But his own character will avenge me upon him.

Je me suis étonné de Dionysius, qui fut plus honoré chez moi que Panétius chez Scipion, et qui a méprisé notre infortune de la manière la plus ignoble. Je hais cet homme et le haïrai toujours. Puissé-je me venger! Mais ses propres mœurs le vengeront de lui-même.
