Cicero to Atticus, written at Antium on 11 or 12 June 44 BC — Perseus dateline Scr. in Antiati iii aut prid. Id. Iun. a. 710 (44), the editors uncertain whether the day is the eleventh or the twelfth. A very short note, almost wholly about young Marcus Cicero, who is studying philosophy in Athens. A letter-carrier has at last come from him, and the letter itself is well written — a sign of progress; the tutors’ reports are mixed, with Leonides still cool but Herodes enthusiastic. Cicero, anxious for the boy and easy to flatter on his behalf, declares himself happy even to be deceived in the matter. He closes with a request to be told anything that Statius (Quintus Cicero’s freedman, a busy informant) has written that touches on him.

The works.yaml entry’s location field “in Antiati iii aut” is OCR-bleed: the Perseus dateline reads Scr. in Antiati iii aut prid. Id. Iun., and the date numerals iii aut (alternative reading of the day) have leaked into the location field. The true location is Antium.
