43. Cicero to Trebatius, &c.
1. CHrysippus Vectius, free-man to Cyrus the Architect, made me think that you had not forgotten me; for he brought me commendations from you.
2. You are now become very nice, who think much to write unto me, being especially a friend almost as familiar as one of your own house.
3. But if you have forgotten to write, not many will be over∣thrown in their suits, if you be their Counsellor.
4. And if you have forgotten us, I will endeavour to come thither, before I be razed quite out of your mind.
5. If the fear of Summer-quarters discourage you, invent some excuse, as you did about Britannia.
6. I was very glad to hear by the same Chrysippus, that you a••e familiar with Caesar; but indeed it would like me better, a thing which was more reasonable, to understand as often as may be your own proceedings by your own Letter, which certainly would be so, if you would choose rather to learn the Laws of Amity than of Pleading.
7. But I have jested thus far, both after your wont, and some∣thing after my own.
8. I love you very dearly; and both desire, and am confident, that you love me. Farewell.
