DXCIII (A XII, 47.3, 48.1)
TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
LANUVIUM (17 MAY)
YES, go on to publish Hirtius's book. As to
Philotimus, I think the same as you do. I can see
that the market value of your house will go up
with Caesar for a neighbour. 1 I am expecting my
letter-carrier today: he will give me news of
Pilia and Attica. I can easily believe that you
are glad to be at home. But I should like to know
how much you have still to do, or whether you have
finished by this time. I expect you at Tusculum,
and the more because you wrote word to Tiro that
you were coming, and added that you thought it
necessary.
