TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
Nothing could be better timed than your letter, which much relieved the anxiety I was feeling about that excellent boy, our Quintus. Two hours earlier Chaerippus had arrived: his news was simply awful. As to what you say about Apollonius, why, heaven confound him ! a Greek and turn bankrupt! Thinks he may do what Roman knights do ! For, of course, Terentius is within his rights ! As to Metellus—de mortuis, etc. [Note]—yet there has been no citizen die these many years past who——. Well, I am willing to warrant your getting the money: for what have you to fear, whomsoever he made his heir, unless it were Publius? But he has, in fact, made a respectable man his heir, though he was himself——! Wherefore in this business you will not have to open your money-chest: another time you will be more cautious. Please see to my instructions about my house: hire some guards: give Milo a hint. [Note] The Arpinates
grumble amazingly about Laterium. [Note] Well, what can I say? I was much annoyed myself, but "to words of mine he gave no heed." [Note] For the rest, take care of young Cicero and love him as always.
