Syntactic/Grammatical Info | |
Context | Cicero discusses his studies; jokes that 'dinner' is the only philosophical problem that Papirius Paetus considers. |
Comments | NB this is also the letter where Cicero gives a (Greek) anecdote in Latin and exhorts Papirius Paetus to "translate it if you like" (since 'it is better in Greek') = consciousness of translation/bilingualism in this letter. |
