- αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 6.2:
| His ego duobus generibus facultatem ad se aere alieno liberandas aut levandas dedi. | I gave them the opportunity to clear or lighten their debt in two ways. |
- βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 7.7:
| Hoc enim ipsum bene fecit quod mihi sui cognoscendi penitus etiam istam facultatem dedit. | Of course, he did one thing well in that he also gave me that opportunity to get to know him thoroughly. |
- γʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 10.19:
| Non multo plus patriae faveo quam tuae gloriae, cuius maximam facultatem tibi di immortales, ut spero, dederunt, quam complectere, obsecro. | I am not so much supporting our country as your glory, for which the immortal gods have, I hope, given you the greatest opportunity, and I beg you to embrace it. |
- δʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 12.30:
| Illud magis mihi solet esse molestum, tantis me impediri occupationibus, ut ad te scribendi meo arbitratu facultas nulla detur. | That's more usually the problem for me—I'm caught up in so much business that I get no opportunity to write to you as much as I'd like. |
- εʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 13.4:
| Si pro meis pristinis opibus facultatem mihi res hoc tempore daret, ut ita defendere possem Volaterranos, quemadmodum consuevi tueri meos, nullum officium, nullum denique certamen, in quo illis prodesse possem, praetermitterem. | If, instead of the resources I originally had, the situation had given me the opportunity to defend the Volaterrani the same way I usually watched over my own people, I would not have overlooked any duty, or even any confrontation I could have done them any good by. |
- στʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 15.13:
| Sed ita fato nescio quo contigisse arbitror, ut tibi ad me ornandum semper detur facultas, mihi ad te remunerandum nihil suppetat praeter voluntatem. | But I think it is somehow destined that, as the opportunity is always given to you to honor me, I get nothing to pay you back with except the desire to do so. |
- ζʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 3.3:
| Cum venerit, quae primum navigandi nobis facultas data erit, utemur. | When he comes, we'll take advantage of the first opportunity there is to set sail. |
