§12.5A.1de Caelio tu quaeres, ut scribis; ego nihil novi.
About Caelius, you will inquire, as you write; I know nothing.
noscenda autem est natura, non facultas modo.
But his character must be understood, not just his means.
de Hortensio et Verginio tu, si quid dubitabis.
As for Hortensius and Virginius, you will see to it if you have any doubt.
etsi quod magis placeat, ego quantum aspicio, non facile inveneris.
Although, as far as I can see, you will not easily find anything that would please more.
cum Mustela, quem ad modum scribis, cum venerit Crispus.
With Mustela, as you write, when Crispus has come.
ad avium scripsi ut ea quae bene nosset de auro Pisoni demonstraret.
I wrote to Avius to show Piso the things he knew well concerning the gold.
tibi enim sane adsentior et istud nimium diu duci et omnia nunc undique contrahenda.
For I certainly agree with you both that that business is being drawn out too long, and that everything must now be gathered in from all quarters.
te quidem nihil agere, nihil cogitare aliud nisi quod ad me pertineat facile perspicio meisque negotiis impediri cupiditatem tuam ad me veniendi.
I easily perceive indeed that you are doing nothing, thinking of nothing else except what concerns me, and that your desire to come to me is hindered by my business.
sed mecum esse te puto, non solum quod meam rem agis verum etiam quod videre videor quo modo agas.
But I think you are with me, not only because you are doing my business, but also because I seem to see how you are doing it.
neque enim ulla hora tui mihi est operis ignota.
For indeed, at no hour is your labor unknown to me.
