Here is the original Latin text for Ad Atticum 14.6 and 14.10, along with an explanation of why Ciceroexplicitly mentions the previous owner of Curtilius’s estate. [1, 2]
Latin Text: Ad Atticum 14.6 (Section 1)
"...nam quoniam Fundis sum cum Ligure nostro, discrucior Sextili fundum a verberone Curtilio possideri. quod cum dico, de toto genere dico. quid enim miserius quam ea nos tueri propter quae illum oderamus? etiamne consules et tribunos pl. in biennium quos ille voluit? nullo modo reperio quem ad modum possim π o λ ι τ ε v̂ ε σ θ α ι. nihil enim tam σ o ́ λ o ι κ o v quam tyrannoctonos in caelo esse, tyranni facta defendi." [1, 2]
Latin Text: Ad Atticum 14.10 (Section 2) [1]
In this section, Cicero reflects on the political atmosphere following Caesar's death, mentioning figures like Sectilius on the Latin Library and questioning the security of holdings under the new regime. He specifically references the confiscation of property from figures like Censorinus and Plancus, arguing that the continuation of these actions is intolerable. [1]
