CDLXIV (F IX, 4)
TO M. TERENTIUS VARRO (?AT CUMAE)
TUSCULUM (JUNE)
About things "possible," let me tell you my
opinion agrees with Diodorus. Wherefore, if you
are to come, be assured that your coming is
"necessary," but if you are not, then it is
"impossible" that you should come. Now see which
opinion pleases you the more, that of
Chrysippus or the one which our teacher Diodotus
could not stomach. But on these points also we
will talk when we are at leisure: that too is
"possible," according to Chrysippus. 1 I am
much obliged to you about Coctius: for that is
just what I had commissioned Atticus to do. Yes,
if you don't come to me, I shall take a run to
you. If you have a garden in your library, 2 everything will be complete.
