- αʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 10.4:
| exercitum avidum pugnae, quo maturius ignominia aboleretur | the army eager for the fight, by which their disgrace might sooner be wiped out. |
- βʹ Livy, Ab Urbe Condita 25.6:
| non solum a patria procul Italiaque sed ab hoste etiam relegati sumus, ubi senescamus in exsilio ne qua spes, ne qua occasio abolendae ignominiae, ne qua placandae civium irae, ne qua denique bene moriendi sit. | Not only were we sent far away from our homeland and from Italy, but even from the enemy, where we might grow old in exile, so that we have no hope nor any chance to wipe out our dishonor, nor by which we may appease the wrath of our people, nor, in short, by which we may die well. |
