Marcus Tullius Cicero→Titus Pomponius Atticus|c. -56 AD|Cicero|AI-assisted
Egnatius is at Rome: but I pleaded Halimetus’ cause strongly with him at
Antium. He assured me he would speak seriously to Aquilius. You can look
him up, if you like. I hardly think I can keep the appointment with
Macro: for I see that the auction at Larinum is on the 15th and the two
following days. Pray forgive me, since you think so highly of Macro. But
as you love me, dine with me on the 2nd, and bring Pilia with you. You
absolutely must. On the 1st I am thinking of dining in Crassipes’
gardens in lieu of an inn; and so I cheat the senatorial decree.
From there I shall proceed home
praesto Miloni. Ibi te igitur videbo et permanebo. Domus te nostra
tota salutat.
Egnatius Romae est. sed ego cum eo de re Halimeti vehementer Anti egi. graviter se acturum cum Aquilio confirmavit. videbis ergo hominem si voles. Macroni vix videor praesto esse (posse); Idibus enim auctionem Larini video et biduum praeterea. id tu, quoniam Macronem tanti facis, ignoscas mihi velim. sed si me diligis, postridie Kal. cena apud me cum Pilia. prorsus id facies. Kalendis cogito in hortis Crassipedis quasi in deversorio cenare. facio fraudem senatus consulto. Inde domum cenatus, ut sim mane praesto Miloni. ibi te igitur videbo et permanebo. domus te nostra tota salutat.
