Lessico
Lucio Papirio Peto
Another
of Cicero's favourite correspondents was Papirius Paetus, who seems to have
lived at home at ease, and taken little part in the political tumults of his
day. Like Atticus, he was an Epicurean, and thought more of the pleasures of
life than of its cares and duties. Yet Cicero
evidently took great pleasure in his society, and his letters to him are
written in the same familiar and genial tone as those to his old school-fellow.
