  • αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 12.18:
Tibi ad me venire, ut ostendis, vide ne non sit facile. est enim longum iter discedentemque te, quod celeriter tibi erit fortasse faciendum, non sine magno dolore dimittam. Be aware that it may not be easy for you to come to me, as you mention, since it's a long trip, and when you leave againwhich you may have to do quicklyI may not be able to let you go without a great deal of pain.
  • βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 5.21:
Quacumque iter feci, nulla vi, nullo iudicio, nulla contumelia, auctoritate et cohortatione perfeci ut et Graeci et cives Romani qui frumentum compresserant magnum numerum populis pollicerentur. Wherever I travelled, without force, without court orders, without abusiveness, with my influence and encouragement, I made it so that both Greeks and Roman citizens who had withheld grain would promise a large amount to the people.
  • γʹ Cicero, Ad Familiares 3.5:
Deinde iter faciam ad exercitum, ut circiter Idus Sextiles putem me ad Iconium fore. Then I will make my way towards the army, so I think I should be at Konya around the 13th of August.
  • δʹ 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 |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!"
  • εʹ Ovid, Metamorphoses 15.103-106:
————— ————— —— pōst|quām nōn | ūtĭlĭs | āuctōr

Afterwards, some good-for-nothing entrepreneur, whoever he was, began to despise this food; he filled his eager belly with the meaty feasts of lions, paving the way for sin.
