  • Ἑρμογένη τὸν ἰατρὸν ἰδὼν Διόφαντοσ ἐν ὕπνοισ οὐκέτ’ ἀνηγέρθη, καὶ περίαμμα φέρων. (Unknown, Greek Anthology, Volume IV, book 11, chapter 2571)
  • σημεῖα δὲ τούτων φασὶ διαμένειν τὸ πολλὰσ τῶν γυναικῶν ἔτι καὶ νῦν λαμβάνειν ἐπῳδὰσ ἀπὸ τούτου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ περιάμματα ποιεῖν, ὡσ γεγονότοσ αὐτοῦ γόητοσ καὶ τὰ περὶ τὰσ τελετὰσ ἐπιτετηδευκότοσ· (Diodorus Siculus, Bibliotheca Historica, book 5, chapter 64 7:1)
  • καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖνοι πολλάκισ, ἐπειδὰν πάντα ποιοῦντεσ κατὰ λόγον τῆσ θεραπείασ καὶ πειθαρχοῦντεσ τοῖσ ἰατροῖσ μὴ δύνωνται τῆσ ἐπὶ τὸ βέλτιον προκοπῆσ ἅψασθαι, δυσθετούμενοι τοῖσ συμβαίνουσιν ἀποδυσπετεῖν ἀναγκάζονται, καὶ τινὲσ μὲν θύταισ καὶ μάντεσι προσέχειν, ἔνιοι δὲ πάσησ ἐπῳδῆσ καὶ παντὸσ περιάμματοσ πεῖραν λαμβάνειν. (Polybius, Histories, book 33, chapter 17 2:1)
