§13.41.1quae fecisti L. Luccei causa, scire te plane volo te homini gratissimo commodasse, et cum ipsi quae fecisti pergrata sunt, tu m Pompeius, quotienscumque me videt (videt autem saepe), gratias tibi agit singularis.
Regarding what you did for the sake of Lucius Lucceius, I want you to know clearly that you have done a favor to a most grateful man; and while what you did is extremely pleasing to him, Pompey also, as often as he sees me (and he sees me often), expresses extraordinary gratitude to you.
addo etiam illud, quod tibi iucundissimum esse certo scio, me ipsum ex tua erga Lucceium benignitate maxima voluptate adfici.
I add also this, which I know for certain to be most delightful to you, that I myself am affected with the greatest pleasure by your kindness toward Lucceius.
§13.41.2quod superest, quamquam mihi non est dubium quin, cum antea nostra causa, nunc iam etiam tuae constantiae gratia mansurus sis in eadem ista liberalitate, tamen abs te vehementer etiam atque etiam peto ut ea, quae initio ostendisti, deinceps fecisti, ad exitum augeri et cumulari per te velis.
As for what remains, although I have no doubt that, as previously for our sake, so now also for the sake of your own consistency, you will persist in that same generosity of yours, yet I earnestly ask of you again and again that you be willing that those things which you showed in the beginning and subsequently performed should be increased and crowned to completion by you.
id et Lucceio et Pompeio valde gratum fore teque apud eos praeclare positurum confirmo et spondeo.
I assure and guarantee that this will be highly pleasing to both Lucceius and Pompey, and that you will place yourself in an excellent position with them.
de re p. deque his negotiis cogitationibusque nostris perscripseram ad te diligenter paucis ante diebus easque litteras dederam pueris tuis.
Concerning the state and these affairs and thoughts of ours, I had written to you in detail a few days ago and had given that letter to your boys.
vale.
Farewell.
