  • καὶ παραλλάττων ἀεὶ τοὺσ ἐγρηγορότασ, τοῖσ φέγγεσι καὶ τῷ θορύβῳ τεκμαιρόμενοσ, ἐβάδιζε πρὸσ τὴν Καρμεντίδα πύλην, ἣ πλείστην εἶχεν ἡσυχίαν, καὶ μάλιστα κατ’ αὐτὴν ὄρθιοσ ὁ τοῦ Καπιτωλίου λόφοσ ἀνέστηκε καὶ πέτρα κύκλῳ πολλὴ καὶ τραχεῖα περιπέφυκε· (Plutarch, Camillus, chapter 25 2:1)
  • ἦν δὲ λόφοσ κατὰ μέσον καταληφθῆναι μὲν οὐ χαλεπόσ, ὀχυρὸσ δὲ καταληφθεὶσ στρατοπέδῳ καὶ διαρκὴσ εἰσ ἅπαντα, τὸ δὲ πέριξ πεδίον ὀφθῆναι μὲν ἄπωθεν ὁμαλὸν διὰ ψιλότητα καὶ λεῖον, ἔχον δέ τινασ οὐ μεγάλασ τάφρουσ ἐν αὑτῷ καὶ κοιλότητασ ἄλλασ. (Plutarch, Fabius Maximus, chapter 11 1:3)

  • εἰσὶ δὲ δῆμοσ ὑπὲρ τόν Ταγώνιον ποταμόν, οὐκ ἄστεσιν οὐδὲ κώμαισ ἐνοικοῦντεσ, ἀλλὰ λόφοσ ἐστὶν εὐμεγέθησ καὶ ὑψηλόσ ἄντρα καὶ κοιλώματα πετρῶν βλέποντα πρὸσ βορέαν περιέχων, ἡ δ’ ὑποκειμένη πᾶσα χώρα πηλὸν ἀργιλώδη καὶ γῆν ὑπὸ χαυνότητοσ εὔθρυπτον ἀναδίδωσιν, οὔτε τοὺσ ἐπιβαίνοντασ ἀνέχεσθαι καρτεράν, καὶ μικρὸν ἁψαμένων, ὥσπερ ἄσβεστον ἢ τέφραν, ἐπὶ πολὺ διαχεομένην. (Plutarch, Sertorius, chapter 17 1:2)
