quae adversus opiniones hominum heredes habuerunt Q. Caecilius, L. Luculli promptissimo studio maximaque liberalitate et honestum dignitatis gradum et amplissimum patrimonium consecutus, cum prae se semper tulisset unum illum sibi esse heredem, moriens etiam anulos ei suos tradidisset, Pomponium Atticum testamento adoptavit omniumque bonorum <heredem> reliquit.
Those that had heirs contrary to general expectation Q. Caecilius had attained a respectable status and ample wealth by the ready patronage and unstinted generosity of L. Lucullus. He had always given out that Lucullus was his sole heir and on his deathbed gave him his signet rings. In his will, however, he adopted Pomponius Atticus and left him heir to all he possessed.
