• αʹ Cicero, Academica 1.1:

In Cumano nuper cum mecum Atticus noster esset, nuntiatum est nobis a M. Varrone venisse eum Roma pridie vesperi et, nisi de via fessus esset, continuo ad nos venturum fuisse.

Recently, while our friend Atticus was with me at my Cumaean estate, we received a message from Marcus Varro that he had arrived from Rome the evening of the day before and, if he hadn't been worn out from the journey, he would have come to us directly.
