• αʹ Cicero, In Verrem Secunda 1.10:

Dionem IIS deciens centena milia numerasse ut causam certissimam obtineret; praeterea greges equarum eius istum abigendos curasse, argenti, vestis stragulae quod fuerit curasse auferendum.

Dio paid a million sesterces to win a case that should have been absolutely certain; furthermore, that man [Verres] made sure his herds of mares were driven away; he made sure whatever silver and tapestry he had were carried off.

• βʹ n. 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.
