• αʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 2.37:

Ingens pavor primo discurrentes ad suas res tollendas in hospitia perculit; proficiscentibus deinde indignatio oborta, se ut consceleratos contaminatosque ab ludis, festis diebus, coetu quodam modo hominum deorumque abactos esse.

First an enormous terror struck those who were scattering to their lodgings to carry off their things; then indignation arose in them as they were leaving, being driven out as if they were defiled and unclean, from the games—from their holidays—from a meeting, in a way, of men and the gods.

• βʹ Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.834:

• γʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 2.38:

ideo nos ab sede piorum, coetu concilioque abigi

• δʹ Cicero, In Verrem Secunda 2.7:

praeterea greges nobilissimarum equarum abactos, argenti vestisque stragulae domi quod fuerit esse direptum

Furthermore, his herds of purebred mares were driven away; whatever silver and tapestry he had at home were plundered.

• εʹ Catullus, Carmina 44.7-9:

• στʹ Vitruvius, De Architectura 10.2.6:

Ita funis ductarius traicitur in inferioris trocleae foramen, uti aequalia duo capita sint funis, cum erit extensus, ibique secundum inferiorem trocleam resticula circumdata et contenta utraeque partes funis continentur, ut neque in dextram neque in sinistram partem possint prodire.

So the tow rope is fed through an opening in the lower block, so that both ends of the rope are even when it is stretched out, and then both parts are held along the lower block by a cord wrapped around and tied so that they can't come out, either on the right side or the left.

• ζʹ Cicero, De Domo Sua 29.77:

Credo enim, quamquam in illa adoptatione legitime factum est nihil, tamen te esse interrogatum auctorne esses, ut in te P. Fonteius vitae necisque potestatem haberet, ut in filio

Because I do believe—even though nothing else was done legally in that adoption of yours—that you were still asked whether you authorized Publius Fonteius to have the same power of life and death over you that he would have over a son.

• ηʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 10.5:

Nunc quoniam agit liberaliter, nihil accuso hominem scripsique ad eum me a te certiorem esse factum.

Marcellus himself was eager to bring aid to the besieged, but was held back both by the flood swell of the Volturno River and the pleas of the Nolans and the Acerrans, who feared the Campanians if Roman protection were to withdraw.

• ιαʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 11.14:

Omnes enim Achaici deprecatores itemque in Asia quibus non erat ignotum, etiam quibus erat, in Africam dicuntur navigaturi.

Because all of my Achaean intercessors, as well as those in Asia who have not been pardoned—and even those who have—are said to be about to sail to Africa.

Sciebat enim me celeriter velle proficisci seseque ad me in Tusculanum scripserat esse venturum.

• ιγʹ Cicero, De Domo Sua 57.144:

Quocirca te, Capitoline, quem propter beneficia populus Romanus Optimum, propter vim Maximum nominavit, teque, Iuno Regina, et te, custos urbis, Minerva, quae semper adiutrix consiliorum meorum, testis laborum exstitisti, precor atque quaeso....

And so, Capitoline, I pray and beg of you, whom the Roman people have named Best because of your kindnesses and Greatest because of your power, and you, Queen Juno, and you, Minerva, guardian of the city, who have always stood forth as helper in my decisions and witness to my labors...

• ιδʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 21.6:

Haec sententia, quae tutissima videbatur, vicit; legatique eo maturius missi, P. Valerius Flaccus et Q. Baebius Tamphilus, Saguntum ad Hannibalem atque inde Carthaginem si non absisteretur bello ad ducem ipsum in poenam foederis rupti deposcendum.

This opinion, which seemed safest, prevailed; and so the envoys, Publius Valerius Flaccus and Quintus Baebius Tamphilus, were sent all the sooner to Hannibal at Sagunto—and then to Carthage, if war were not ended, to demand the general himself as punishment for the treaty being broken.

And so, I will talk as best I can about these things which are suitable for use in buildings—what their distinctive qualities are and what strengths they have.

• κʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 2.32:

inde apparuisse ventris quoque haud segne ministerium esse, nec magis ali quam alere eum, reddentem in omnes corporis partes hunc quo vivimus vigemusque [sanguinem].

Then it became clear that the stomach's job was no idle one, and it was not so much to be fed as for it to feed, replenishing [the blood] by which we live and thrive to all parts of the body.

• καʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 7.10:

• κγʹ Seneca the Elder, Controversiae 2.7:

cetera, quemadmodum adulescens formosus, dives, ignotus in viciniam formosae et in absentia viri nimium liberae mulieris commigraverit, quemadmodum adsidua satietate continuatae per diem noctemque libidinis exhaustis viribus perierit, interrogate rumorem.

As for the rest—how an unknown, handsome young rich man could have moved into the neighborhood of a woman who was beautiful and, in the absence of her husband, too free with herself, and how he would have wasted away, all his energy drained by constant satisfaction of his uninterrupted lusts, all day and all night—ask the rumor mill.

• κδʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 22.18:

Fabius medius inter hostium agmen urbemque Romam iugis ducebat nec absistens nec congrediens.

Fabius led them along the ridges, midway between the enemy line and the city of Rome, neither withdrawing nor engaging.
