- αʹ 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!" |
- βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 11.13:
| Itaque tum et a tuo vilico sumpsimus et aliunde mutuati sumus cum Quintus queritur per litteras sibi nos nihil dedisse, qui neque ab illo rogati sumus neque ipsi eam pecuniam aspeximus. | So at the same time that we were taking handouts from your manager and borrowing from elsewhere, Quintus was whining in his letters that we had never given him anything; not only had he never asked us for the money — we hadn't even seen it ourselves. |
- γʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 12.5a:
| Etsi quod magis placeat, ego quantum aspicio, non facile inveneris. | And if you're looking for something more acceptable—as far as I can see, you won't easily find it. |
