DLXV (A XII, 33)
TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
ASTURA (26 MARCH)
As I wrote to you yesterday, if Silius is the
sort of man you think and Drusus will not be
obliging, I would have you approach Damasippus.
He, I think, has broken up his property on the
Tiber into lots of I don't know how many acres
apiece, with a fixed price for each, the amount of
which is not known to me. Write and tell me
therefore whatever you have settled upon. I am
very much troubled about our dear Attica's
ill-health: it almost makes me fear that some
indiscretion has been committed. Yet the good
character of her tutor, 1 the
constant attention of her doctor, and the careful conduct in every particular of the
whole establishment forbid me on the other hand to
entertain that suspicion. Take care of her
therefore. I can write no more.
