Marcus Tullius Cicero,
Letters to Atticus — 3.10 (LXVII)
“ To Atticus at Rome Thessalonica, 27 June 58 BC I have been kept at Thessalonica up to this time as well by your letter and some good news (which, however, did not rest on the best authority) , and the expectation of hearing from you all at Rome, as by the fact that you advised my doing so. When I receive the letters which I expect, if there turns out to be the hope which rumour brings me, I shall go to your house; [1] if otherwise, I will inform you of what I have done. Pray go on, as you are doing, and help me by your exertions, advice, and influence. ”
