Context Cicero instructs Atticus to enquire about Pompey's attitude to him. Atticus able to do so as a relative since his sister was Cicero's sister-in-law.
Comments Usual rendering of the phrase "'with your usual solicitude' lacks point; and C. would hardly have used such a phrase to express so commonplace an idea" (Shackleton Bailey).
