DCCC (A XVI, 13 b)

TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
ARPINUM (10 NOVEMBER)
THE letter of Eros compelled me very much against my will to let - go. 1 Tiro will tell you about the affair. Pray consider what ought to be done. And also please say whether it is possible for me to come nearer town—for I should prefer being at Tusculum or in some suburban residence—or whether I must remove to a still greater distance. Write frequently, for there will be somebody to take a letter every day. You ask my advice besides as to what I think you ought to do. It is difficult to say at this distance. However, if the two 2 are equally matched-stay where you are. Otherwise, the mischief will spread, and that will even reach us. Then we must put our heads together.


1 Probably there is some proper name as well as other words missing in the text.

2 Antony and Octavian.
