- αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 2.16.1:
- βʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 2.23:
| Sabino bello ait se militantem, quia propter populationes agri non fructu modo caruerit, sed villa incensa fuerit, direpta omnia, pecora abacta, tributum iniquo suo tempore imperatum, aes alienum fecisse. | He said he served in the Sabine War and that he had not only lost his harvest on account of the pillaging, but his farmhouse had been burned down, everything had been plundered, his cattle was driven off, the war tax was levied at an inopportune time, and he went into debt. |
- γʹ Ovid, Fasti 3.603-608:
| Lītŏrĕ | dōtā|lī sō|lō cŏmĭ|tātŭs Ă|chātē sēcrē|tūm nū|dō || dūm pĕdĕ | cārpĭt ĭ|tēr, āspĭcĭt | ērrān|tēm, nēc | crēdĕrĕ | sūstĭnĕt | Ānnām ēssĕ: quĭd | īn Lătĭ|ōs || īllă vĕn|īrĕt ă|grōs? dūm sē|c(um) Āenē|ās, "Ān|n(a) ēst!" ēx|clāmăt Ă|chātēs. | Walking a secluded path on the beach his wife had endowed him, with only Achates for company, he catches sight of Anna wandering, and can't bring himself to believe it is her. While Aeneas is thinking to himself, "Why would she have come to the fields of Latium?" Achates cries out, "It's Anna!" |
