your feelings: but he was right in what he did. Then he explains
with the greatest coarseness why he did it. But he would never have
shown his hatred for me either now or before, if he had not seen that
everything was against me. How I wish I had got nearer to you, even by
night-journeys as you suggested. Now I cannot conceive where or when I
shall see you.
As to my co-heirs in Fufidius' property, there was no reason for you
to write to me: for their demand is quite just, and anything you did
I should think right. As to the repurchase of the estate at Frusino,
you know already what I wish. Though my affairs were then in a better
position, and I did not expect to be in such desperate straits, still
my mind has not altered. How it is to be done, you will arrange. And
please consider to the best of your ability some way of obtaining ready
money for current expenses. All the money I had I handed over to Pompey
at a time when it seemed advisable to do so. So then I took money from
your steward and borrowed from others, and now Quintus complains by
letter that I did not give him a penny, when he never asked for it
and I never set eyes on the money myself. But please see what can be
managed and what advice you have to give me on all points: you know all
about it.
Grief prevents me from writing more. If there is anything you think
should be written to anyone in my name, please do so as usual; and as
often as you have anyone to whom you can give a letter to me, don't
forget it. Farewell.

I am not offended with you for telling me the truth in your letter and
not even attempting, as you were wont, to console me under my burden
of public and personal woes, which you confess is impossible now. For
affairs are no longer in the position they were, when, if nothing else,
I thought I had companions and partners in my policy. For all those
in Achaia and in Asia, who petitioned for pardon and did not obtain
it, and even some of those who did, are said to be on the point of
sailing for Africa. So I have no one to share my fault except Laelius,
and even he is in a better position than I am in one respect, as he
has been taken back now.[180] But about me I have no doubt that Caesar
has written to Balbus and Oppius: if the news had been good, I should
have heard from them and they would have spoken to you too. I should
like you to speak to them about it and to let me know what they say,
not that any safeguard given by him can have any certainty, but still
something can be foreseen and provided for. Though I am ashamed to look
anyone in the face, especially with such a son-in-law, still in this
disastrous crisis I see nothing else to wish for. Quintus is still
keeping on, as both Pansa and Hirtius have written to tell me; and he
is said too to be making for Africa with the rest. I will write to
Minucius at Tarentum, and send your letter: I will let you know whether
anything comes of it. I should have been surprised that

CICERO TO ATTICUS, GREETING.
[Sidenote: _Brundisium, May 14_, B.C. _47_]
Since you give good reasons why I cannot see you at the present time,
pray consider what I am to do. For although Caesar holds Alexandria, he
seems to be ashamed even to send a dispatch about it, while the others
are apparently on the eve of coming here from Africa, and those in
Achaia too are either going to return from Asia to join them or they
are going to stop in some neutral place. So what do you think I am to
do? I see advice is difficult. For I am the one and only person--except
perhaps one other, who cannot return to the one party and who has no
hope at all offered him from the other. Still I should like to know
what you think: and that was one reason, among others, why I should
have liked to see you, if it were possible.
I told you before that Minucius has only paid £100.[184] Please see
that the rest is provided. Quintus in his letter instead of an earnest
appeal used the most bitter language, and his son showed extraordinary
animosity. There is no conceivable ill

with which I am not oppressed. But all of them are lighter to bear than
my sense of guilt: that is overwhelming and enduring. If I were to have
those, whom I thought I had, to share that guilt, that would still be
some consolation, though a poor one. But every one else's case admits
of some way out, mine of none. Some were captured, some cut off, so
there is no doubt about their intentions, especially since they have
extricated themselves and joined forces again. Nay even those, who of
their own free will came to Fufius,[186] can only be thought cowards.
But there are many who will be taken back, however they choose to take
themselves back to the fold. So you ought not to be surprised that I
cannot bear up against all my sorrow. For I am the one and only person
whose slip cannot be mended, except perhaps Laelius--and what good is
that?--for they say even C. Cassius has changed his mind about going to
Alexandria.
[186] Q. Fufius Calenus was appointed governor of Greece after
Pharsalia by Caesar, and many Pompeians surrendered to him.
This I am writing to you not in the hope that you may remove my
care, but to know whether you have any suggestion to make about the
things that are wearing me out: to the rest you may add my son-in-law
and other things which tears prevent me from writing. Why, even
Aesopus'[187] son grieves me sorely. There is absolutely nothing
wanting to make me the most miserable of men. But I return to the first
point. What do you think I ought to do, come secretly

Why could nothing be settled about Fufidius' estate? For the
arrangement was one about which there is generally no dispute, since
the share, which seems smaller, can be made up by the proceeds of the
sale.[188] I have a reason for asking. For I suspect my co-heirs think
my case is doubtful, and so prefer to keep the matter open. Farewell.

It is not my fault at the present time (for I did commit an error
before) that the letter you send[189] does not give me any consolation.
For it is grudgingly written, and raises great suspicion that it is
not by Caesar: I expect you noticed that too. About going to meet him
I will do as you advise. For no one thinks he is coming, and those who
come from Asia say there has been no word of peace: and it was hope of
a peace that led me into this error.
[189] A letter purporting to come from Caesar, but later found to be a
forgery.
I see nothing to make me think of hope, especially now that that blow
has fallen in Asia, in Illyricum, in the Cassian affair, in Alexandria
itself, in Rome and in Italy.[190] For my part, even if he is on his
return--whereas
[190] Cicero alludes to the defeat of Domitius Calvinus in Asia, the
failure of Aulus Gabinius in Illyricum, the insurrection of Baetica,
which forced Cassius to leave the province, Caesar's difficulties at
Alexandria, the riots in Rome, and the mutinous state of the army in
Italy.

huius consilii iam ne socium quidem habeo quemquam. Qui in Asia sunt,
rerum exitum exspectant, Achaici etiam Fufio spem deprecationis

quicquam istae litterae delectarent. Etsi quidam scripsit ad me his

he is said to be still fighting--still I think the business will be
settled before he does return.
You say, however, that some feeling of pleasure was aroused among the
loyalists when they heard of this letter. Of course you do not omit
anything in which you think there is the least consolation, but I
cannot bring myself to believe that any of the loyalists supposed that
I prize any salvation highly enough to beg for it of him: especially as
I have not even a single partner in this policy now. Those who are in
Asia are waiting to see how things turn out: those in Achaia too keep
holding out to Fufius the hope that they will petition for pardon. They
at first had the same fear and the same plan as myself; but the hitch
at Alexandria improved their case and ruined mine. So I still make the
same request of you as in former letters: if in these desperate straits
you see anything you think I ought to do, tell me of it. If I am taken
back by the loyalists, which you see is not the case, still, so long as
the war lasts, I don't see what I am to do or where I am to stay; still
less, if I am rejected by them. So I await a letter from you, and I beg
you to write to me without hesitation.
You advise me to write to Quintus about this letter. I would, if the
letter gave me any pleasure, though some one has written to me saying:
"Considering the evil days, I am pretty comfortable at Patrae, and I
should be more so, if your brother would speak of you as I should like
to hear him."

As to his writing to you to say that I don't answer any of his letters,
I've only had one from him. To that I gave an answer to Cephalio, but
he was delayed many months by storms. I have already mentioned that
young Quintus has written to me most bitterly.
The last thing I have to ask you is, that, if you think it right
and care to undertake it, you and Camillus together should advise
Terentia to make her will. Circumstances suggest that she ought to make
provision for satisfying her creditors. I hear from Philotimus that she
is doing some underhand things. I can hardly believe it; but anyhow, if
there is anything of the kind (and there possibly may be), it ought to
be guarded against. Please write to me about everything, and especially
what you think about her. I want your advice about her, even if you
cannot think of any plan: for in that case I shall take it the case is

Tullia, I see no reason for keeping her with me any longer when both of
us are in such sorrow: so I am going to send her back to her mother, as
soon as she herself will allow me. In return for the letter which you
wrote in a consolatory style, please consider that I have made the only
answer, which, as you yourself know, was possible.
You tell me Oppius has had a talk with you: and what you say agrees
well enough with my suspicions of him. But I feel sure that party[191]
can never be convinced that their actions can possibly win my approval,
whatever I may say. However, I will be as moderate as I can: though,
what difference it makes to me, if I do incur their enmity, I cannot
conceive.

I see you have a good reason for not being able to come to me: and
I am very sorry that is so. There is no news that Caesar has left
Alexandria; and it is well known that no one at all has left that place

There is no rumour of his leaving Alexandria as yet: on the contrary,
he is thought to be in great difficulties. So I am not sending my son,
as I had arranged, and I beseech you to get me away from here: for any
punishment is lighter to bear than staying here. On this point I have
written to Antony, to Balbus and to Oppius. For whether there is going
to be a war in Italy, or whether he will employ his fleet--and it may
be either, but one it must be--this is a most inappropriate place for
me. I understood of course from what Oppius said according to your
letter, how angry they are with me: but I beg you to turn their anger.
I don't expect anything now that is not unpleasant: but my present
condition is as desperate as anything can be. So please speak with
Antony and the Caesarians, and see the matter through for me as best
you can: and let me have an answer on all points as soon as possible.

As I had a chance of giving a letter to your men, I did not miss it,
though I have nothing to say. You are writing less often than you used
to do and less fully, I suppose because you have nothing that you think
I should be glad to read or hear. However please write, if there is
anything of any kind whatever. There is one thing that I do long for,
any possibility of a peace: myself I have no hope of such a thing: but,
as you sometimes give a slight hint, you compel me to have some hope of
what I hardly dare long for.
Philotimus is said to be coming on the 13th of August. Of Caesar I
have no further news. Please answer my former letter. I only want time
enough to take some precaution now in my misfortunes, as I have never
taken any before. Farewell.

On the 14th of August there arrived from Seleucea Pieria C. Trebonius
after 28 days' journey: and he said he had seen young Quintus at
Antioch in Caesar's train with Hirtius. They had got what they wanted
about my brother without any difficulty at all. I should feel more
joy at that, if what I have got myself gave me some sure ground for
hope.[193] But there are things
[193] Or, as Tyrrell, "if the granting of such petitions afforded, in
my opinion, any sure basis for hope."

I have to fear from the Quinti and others: and Caesar's own regal
concessions are again in his own power to revoke. He has even pardoned
Sallustius. Indeed he is said not to deny anyone, and that in itself
arouses a suspicion that he is only deferring investigation. M.
Gallius, son of Quintus, has given back his slaves to Sallustius. He
came to transport the legions to Sicily, and he says Caesar is going
from Patrae to Sicily. If he does, I shall come nearer Rome, and I wish
I had done so already. I am expecting eagerly your answer to my last
request for advice. Farewell.

On August 25 I received a letter from you dated Aug. 19, and, on
reading it, the sorrow which possessed me long ago at Quintus' shameful
conduct, but which I had now laid aside, was reawakened in all its
force. Though you could not possibly have helped sending me that
letter, I wish it had not been sent.
For the points you mention about the will, please see what is to be
done and how. About the money, Terentia has written to me just what I
suggested to you before, and, if I need it, I will draw on the sum you
mention.

Caesar probably won't reach Athens by the 1st of September. There are
said to be many things that keep him in Asia, especially Pharnaces.
The 12th legion, which Sulla visited first, is said to have driven
him off with stones, and it is thought none of them will stir. Caesar
it is supposed will go straight from Patrae to Sicily. But, if so, he
must come here. I should have preferred him to go straight there, for I
should have got away from here somehow. Now I am afraid I must wait for
him, and in addition to other afflictions my poor daughter must endure
this unhealthy climate.
You advise me to make my actions fit the times. I would, if
circumstances permitted, and it were anyhow possible. But what with
all my own mistakes and the wrongs inflicted on me by my family, there
is nothing worthy of myself that I can do or even pretend to do. You
compare Sulla's reign: that in principle was all that could be noble,
but it was rather too lacking in moderation. The present crisis however
is such that I forget myself, and should much prefer the public cause
to win rather than that with which my interests are bound up. However,
please write to me as often as possible, especially as no one else
writes, and, if all the world were writing, I should still look forward
to your letters more than any. You say Caesar will be kinder to Quintus
for my sake: but I told you before he had made every concession to
young Quintus, without mentioning me. Farewell.

Balbus' letter-carrier delivered the packet quite promptly. For I have
got a letter from you in which you seem to doubt whether I received
those letters. I wish they had never been delivered: for they increased
my sorrow, and, if they had fallen into anyone's hands, they would
not have told them anything new. For his hatred of me and the kind of
letters he writes are common knowledge. Even Caesar, when he sent them
to your friends, seems to have done it, not to show his annoyance at
Quintus' disgraceful conduct, but, I suppose, to make my misfortunes
better known. You say you are afraid they may do Quintus some harm, and
you are trying to remedy it. Why, Caesar did not even wait to be asked
about him. That does not annoy me: what is more annoying is that the
favours granted to me have no sterling value.
Sulla, I believe, will be here to-morrow with Messalla. They are
hurrying to him, hounded away by the soldiers, who refuse to go
anywhere, until they get their pay. So, though people thought he would
not, he will be coming here; but not in a hurry. For he is travelling
slowly, and he is stopping many days in each town. Then, however he
manages things, Pharnaces must delay him. So what do you think about
me? For already I am scarcely capable physically of bearing this bad
climate, which adds ill-health to my troubles. Shall I commission these
people, who are going to him, to make my excuses, and come nearer Rome?

Camillus has written to me saying that you have spoken to him on the
subject about which I suggested you should consult with him. Now I
am expecting a letter from you: only I don't see how the thing is to
be changed, if it is not as it ought to be. But, when I got a letter
from him, I looked for one from you, though I suppose you did not know
the post was going. I only hope you are well: for you said you had an
attack of some kind of illness.
A man of the name of Agusius came from Rhodes on the 8th of July.
He tells me young Quintus set out to go to Caesar on May 29th, and
Philotimus arrived at Rhodes the day before with a letter for me. You
will hear Agusius himself: but he is travelling rather slowly. So I
arranged to give this to some one who was going more quickly. What
there is in that letter, I don't know, but my brother Quintus offers
me hearty congratulations. For my part after my great mistake I cannot
even imagine anything that can possibly be endurable to me. I beg you

think of my poor girl, both as regards the point about which I wrote
lately--making some arrangement to avoid destitution--and also as
regards the will itself. The other thing too I wish I had attended
to before; but I was afraid of everything. In this very bad business
there was nothing better than a divorce. I should have done something
like a man, either on the score of his cancelling of debts or his
night attacks on houses, or Metella or all his sins together: I should
not have lost the money, and I should have shown some manly spirit. I
remember of course your letter, but I remember the circumstances too:
still anything would have been better than this. Now he seems to be
giving notice of divorce himself; for I have heard about the statue of
Clodius. To think that a son-in-law of mine above all people should do
such a thing as that, or abolish debts! So I agree with you we must
serve a notice of divorce on him. Perhaps he will ask for the third
instalment of the dowry. So consider whether we should wait for a move
of his or act first.[196] If I can possibly manage it, even by night
journeys, I will try to see you. Please write to me about this and
anything else it may interest me to know. Farewell.
[196] If Dolabella started the divorce proceedings, he could not claim
the rest of the dowry, and would have to refund what had already been
paid. If Tullia began them, part at least of the dowry would remain
with him, unless she could prove misconduct.

What you wrote to me some time ago and to Tullia too about me, with
the intention that it should be passed on to me, I feel to be true.
It adds to my misery, though I thought nothing could be added, that,
when I have received the deepest injury, I cannot show anger or even
annoyance with impunity. So I must put up with that. And when I have
borne that blow, I shall still have to suffer what you warn me to guard
against. For I have got myself into such trouble, that, whatever the
state of affairs or the feelings of the people may be, the result for
me apparently will be the same.
But here I take the pen myself; for I shall have to deal with
confidential matters. Please see to the will even now, as it was made
when she had begun to get into difficulties. She did not bother you, I
think; for she did not even ask me about it. But, supposing that is so,
since you have broached the subject already, you will be able to advise
her to deposit it with some one whose position is not affected by this
war. Myself I would rather you were the person, if she agrees to that.
The fact is I am keeping the poor woman in the dark as to that fear of
mine.[197]
[197] That her property would be confiscated.
For that other matter, I know of course that nothing can be put up for
sale now, but things could be put away and hidden, so that they escape
the crash which is threatening. For, when you

write that my fortune and yours are at Tullia's service, I believe you
as to yours, but what can there be of mine? Now as to Terentia, I omit
lots of other things, for what can one add to this? You wrote to her
to remit me by bill of exchange £100, saying that was the balance. She
sent me 80 guineas,[198] adding that that was all the balance. If she
purloins so trifling an amount from so small a total, you can see what
she has been doing in the case of larger sums.
[198] 12,000 and 10,000 sesterces respectively.
Not a trace of Philotimus as yet: nay, he has not even informed me by
letter or messenger what he has done. Those who come from Ephesus say
they saw him there going into court about some lawsuits of his own,
which possibly--indeed in all probability--are deferred till Caesar's
arrival. So I suppose he either has nothing which he thinks he need
hurry to bring to me, or I have sunk so low in my misfortunes that,
even if he has, he does not take the trouble to bring it until he
has finished all his own business. And that causes me considerable
annoyance, but not so much as I think it ought. For I don't think
anything matters much less to me than what answer he brings back from
that quarter. Why, I am quite sure you know.
You advise me to mould my looks and words according to circumstances.
It is difficult, but I would put a rein on myself, if I thought it
mattered to me at all. You say you think the African business can be
arranged by an interchange of letters: I wish you would say, why you
think so: for I can't imagine any reason for thinking it possible.
However please write to me, if there is anything that would give me

I can quite believe what you explain at some length in your letter,
that no advice of yours can assist me: and certainly there is no
consolation which can relieve my sorrow. For none of my misfortunes
has come upon me by fate--that would have been endurable--but I
have brought all on myself by my mistakes and my mental and bodily
afflictions, which I only wish my nearest and dearest had thought
fit to remedy. So, as there is no hope of any advice from you or any
consolation, I will not ask for them henceforth: only please do not
cease from writing to me anything that may occur to you, when you have
anyone to send it by, and so long as there is anyone to send it to;
which will not be long.
There is a rumour, though not a very certain one, that Caesar has left
Alexandria. It came first from a letter of Sulpicius, and has been
confirmed by all subsequent messengers. Whether to prefer it to be
false or true, I don't know, as it does not matter to me.
As I told you already about the will I should like it to be preserved
in a safe place.[200] I am worn out and harassed by the infatuation of
my unhappy daughter. I don't think there ever was such a child

I had not: but that is over and done with. I beg you to do your best,
as it is in the last extremity, to collect and get together what you
can from the sale of plate and furniture, of which there is a good
