• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 12.18:

Tibi ad me venire, ut ostendis, vide ne non sit facile. est enim longum iter discedentemque te, quod celeriter tibi erit fortasse faciendum, non sine magno dolore dimittam.

Be aware that it may not be easy for you to come to me, as you mention, since it's a long trip, and when you leave again—which you may have to do quickly—I may not be able to let you go without a great deal of pain.
