• αʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 2.38:

ideo nos ab sede piorum, coetu concilioque abigi

because of that we were driven from the seat of the pious, from their assembly and association

• βʹ 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.
