• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 12.43:

sed tamen maior etiam res est quam facultates nostrae, praesertim adversario et cupido et locuplete et herede.

But the thing is beyond our means, especially with a rival who is both interested and rich—and an heir.

• βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 4.1:

tuarumque non tam facultatum, quas ego nostras esse iudico, quam consiliorum ad conligendas et constituendas reliquias nostras indigemus.

We are missing not so much your resources—which I consider to be ours—as your advice, to pick up the pieces and set things right.

• β² Cicero, Ad Atticum 4.3:

Quinti fratris tamen liberalitati pro facultatibus nostris, ne omnino exhaustus essem, illo recusante subsidiis amicorum respondemus.

We have, though, repaid my brother Quintus' generosity, despite his objections, with help from our friends in place of our own resources, so that I would not end up entirely drained.
