Cur ego blandirem, si magia confidebam? Qua autem via ad istos pervenit epistula, ad Pudentillam scilicet per aliquem fidelem missa, ut in re tali accurari solet? Cur praeterea tam vitiosis verbis, tam barbaro sermone ego scriberem, quem idem dicunt nequaquam Graecae linguae imperitum? .
Why compliment her if I put my trust in magic? And by what route did the letter get into their hands? For I would surely have sent it to Pudentilla by some trusted agent, the usual precaution in such an affair. And why should I write in such uneducated language, such barbarous style, when these same people say I have no slight acquaintance with Greek?
