  • τούτων ἑκάστῳ καὶ παιᾶνεσ ᾔδοντο, ὥστε καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν Δημήτριον θαυμάζειν ἐπὶ τοῖσ γινομένοισ καὶ λέγειν ὅτι ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ οὐδεὶσ Ἀθηναίων γέγονε μέγασ καὶ ἁδρὸσ τὴν ψυχήν. (Athenaeus, The Deipnosophists, Book 6, book 6, chapter 62 1:3)
  • ἐπεὶ δὲ πολλοὺσ τῶν Ἀμβρώνων οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι διαφθείραντεσ ἀνεχώρησαν ὀπίσω καὶ σκότοσ ἐπέσχεν, οὐχ ὥσπερ ἐπ’ εὐτυχήματι τοσούτῳ τὸν στρατὸν ἐδέξαντο παιᾶνεσ ἐπινίκιοι καὶ πότοι κατὰ σκηνὰσ καὶ φιλοφροσύναι περὶ δεῖπνα καὶ τὸ πάντων ἥδιστον ἀνδράσιν εὐτυχῶσ μεμαχημένοισ, ὕπνοσ ἤπιοσ, ἀλλ’ ἐκείνην μάλιστα τὴν νύκτα φοβερὰν καὶ ταραχώδη διήγαγον. (Plutarch, Caius Marius, chapter 20 1:1)

  • αἱ δὲ γενόμεναι τότε πρὸσ τὰσ τῶν βαρβάρων ναῦσ περὶ τὰ στενὰ μάχαι κρίσιν μὲν εἰσ τὰ ὅλα μεγάλην οὐκ ἐποίησαν, τῇ δὲ πείρᾳ μέγιστα τοὺσ Ἕλληνασ ὤνησαν, ὑπὸ τῶν ἔργων παρὰ τοὺσ κινδύνουσ διδαχθέντασ, ὡσ οὔτε πλήθη νεῶν οὔτε κόσμοι καὶ λαμπρότητεσ ἐπισήμων οὔτε κραυγαὶ κομπώδεισ ἢ βάρβαροι παιᾶνεσ ἔχουσι τι δεινὸν ἀνδράσιν ἐπισταμένοισ εἰσ χεῖρασ ἰέναι καὶ μάχεσθαι τολμῶσιν, ἀλλὰ δεῖ τῶν τοιούτων καταφρονοῦντασ ἐπ’ αὐτὰ τὰ σώματα φέρεσθαι καὶ πρὸσ ἐκεῖνα διαγωνίζεσθαι συμπλακέντασ. (Plutarch, , chapter 8 1:1)
