Cicero · Marcus Tullius Cicero
CICERO ATTICO SAL.
Sestius’ bill does not pay sufficient regard to dignity or caution. The proposal should mention me by name, and contain a carefully worded clause about my property. Please pay attention to that point. Thessalonica, Oct. 4. [Sidenote: _Thessalonica, Oct. 28_, B.C. _58_] It is just thirty days from the date of this letter since I had any news from you. My intentions are, as I have said before, to go to Epirus, and to await my fate there rather than anywhere else. I must beg you to inform me quite openly of anything you notice, whether for good or for bad, and, as you suggest, to send letters in my name to every one to whom you think it necessary. October 28.
