I have received a letter from my brother Quintus, with a copy of the senatorial decree about me.1 I have it in mind to wait until the law is to be passed, and if it is obstructed, I shall accept the authority of the Senate and choose to lose my life rather than my country. Please, hurry up and come to me.
Latin text of Cic. Att. 3.26 | Glossary | Where is Cicero?
On January 1st, a Tribune of the Plebs obstructed (but did not veto) a law to recall Cicero that the Senate was in the process of voting on. Quintus’ letter to Cicero would have expressed uncertainty about whether the law would be able to be passed.
