• αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 11.14:

Omnes enim Achaici deprecatores itemque in Asia quibus non erat ignotum, etiam quibus erat, in Africam dicuntur navigaturi.

Because all of my Achaean intercessors, as well as those in Asia who have not been pardoned—and even those who have—are said to be about to sail to Africa.
