recte, with safety.
tibi absenti: Atticus was in Epirus.
cognoram enim: the reason for the congratulation, which is the main thought, is contained in the second infinitive clause, eundem te contulisse; the first infinitive clause, te diligentem, which is concessive, and therefore logically subordinate, is in a free way made codrdinate with the other.
