O my farm, whether Sabine or Tiburtine (for they say that you're Tiburtine, those to whom it isn't pleasing to harm Catullus; but those to whom it is pleasing they assert that you are Sabine by any wager), but whether Sabine or more truly Tiburtine, I was gladly in your suburban villa and I expelled a bad cough from my chest, which my stomach gave to me, not undeserving, while I seek a lavish dinner: for, while I wish to be a Sestian guest, I read the speech “Against the Candidate Antius” full of poison and pestilence. At this point a chilling cold and frequent cough shook me continually, until I fled to your embrace, and I restored myself both by leisure and nettle (an herb). Therefore, having been renewed, I give my greatest thanks to you, because you have not avenged my mistake. No longer do I pray, if I shall receive the unspeakable writings of Sestius, but the coldness should bring the cold and cough not to me, but to Sestius himself, who calls me then, when I have read the bad book.	O funde noster seu Sabine seu Tiburs (nam te esse Tiburtem autumant, quibus non est cordi Catullum laedere; at quibus cordi est, quovis Sabinum pignore esse contendunt), sed seu Sabine sive verius Tiburs, fui libenter in tua suburbana villa, malamque pectore expuli tussim, non inmerenti quam mihi meus venter, dum sumptuosas appeto, dedit, cenas. Nam, Sestianus dum volo esse conuiua, orationem in Antium petitorem plenam veneni et pestilentiae legi. Hic me gravedo frigida et frequens tussis quassait usque, dum in tuum sinum fugi, et me recuravi otioque et urtica. Quare refectus maximas tibi grates ago, meum quod non es ulta peccatum. Nec deprecor iam, si nefaria scripta Sesti recepso, quin gravedinem et tussim non mihi, sed ipsi Sestio ferat frigus, qui tunc vocat me, cum malum librum legi.	44.1 44.2 44.3 44.4 44.5 44.6 44.7 44.8 44.9 44.10 44.11 44.12 44.13 44.14 44.15 44.16 44.17 44.18 44.19 44.20 44.21
