- αʹ Cicero, Ad Quintum Fratrem 3.1:
| Romam cum venissem a. d. XIII. Kal. Octobres, absolutum offendi in aedibus tuis tectum, quod supra conclavia non placuerat tibi esse multorum fastigiorum: id nunc honeste vergit in tectum inferioris porticus. | When I got to Rome on September 19, I found that the roof of your house—above the rooms, where you didn't want there to be so many gables—had been finished; it now slopes handsomely down to the roof of the lower colonnade. |
