Marcus Tullius Cicero→Titus Pomponius Atticus|c. -46 AD|Cicero|AI-assisted
I am sorry to hear about Seius. But one has to learn to put up with all
human troubles. For what are we ourselves and how long will they be
bothering us? Let us look to a thing that is more in our power, though
not very much,—what we are to do about the Senate. And, before I forget
it, Caesonius sent me word that Sulpicius' wife Postumia had paid him a
visit. As to Pompey's daughter I answered you saying I was not thinking
of her at present. I suppose you know the other lady you
puto, nosti. Nihil vidi foedius. Sed adsum. Coram igitur.
Obsignata epistula accepi tuas. Atticae hilaritatem libenter audio.
Commotiunculis συμπάσχω.
male me hercule de Athamante. tuus autem dolor humanus is quidem sed magno opere moderandus. consolationum autem multae viae sed illa rectissima: impetret ratio quod dies impetratura est. Alexin vero curemus, imaginem Tironis, quem aegrum Romam remisi, et, si quid habet collis e)pidh/mion , ad me cum testamento transferamus. tota domus vacat superior, ut scis. hoc puto valde ad rem pertinere.

male me hercule de Athamante. tuus autem dolor humanus is quidem sed magno opere moderandus. consolationum autem multae viae sed illa rectissima: impetret ratio quod dies impetratura est. Alexin vero curemus, imaginem Tironis, quem aegrum Romam remisi, et, si quid habet collis e)pidh/mion , ad me cum testamento transferamus. tota domus vacat superior, ut scis. hoc puto valde ad rem pertinere.
