  • καὶ φυγὴ μὲν οὐκ ἦν, ἀναχώρησισ δὲ πρὸσ ὄροσ τὸ καλούμενον Ὀλόκρον, ὥστε καὶ τὸν Αἰμίλιον ἰδόντα φησὶν ὁ Ποσειδώνιοσ καταρρήξασθαι τὸν χιτῶνα, τούτων μὲν ἐνδιδόντων, τῶν δ’ ἄλλων Ῥωμαίων διατρεπομένων τὴν φάλαγγα προσβολὴν οὐκ ἔχουσαν, ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ χαρακώματι τῷ πυκνώματι τῶν σαρισῶν ὑπαντιάζουσαν πάντοθεν ἀπρόσμαχον. (Plutarch, Aemilius Paulus, chapter 20 3:2)
  • ἐκινδύνευσαν δ’ ἂν καὶ τὸ στρατόπεδον ἑλεῖν σὺν τῷ χαρακώματι, εἰ μὴ οἱ διώκοντεσ τὸν ἀγοραῖόν τε ὄχλον ἰδόντεσ καὶ τὸν τῶν θεραπόντων καὶ τὸν τῶν ἀνδραπόδων, οἰηθέντεσ ὄφελόσ τι αὐτῶν εἶναι, ἀπεστρέφοντο. (Xenophon, Hellenica, , chapter 2 25:2)
  • αὐτὸσ μὲν γὰρ στρατοπεδείαν οἰκείαν βαλόμενοσ τῶν περὶ τὴν πόλιν τόπων, ταύτην μὲν ὠχύρωσε τάφρῳ βαθείᾳ καὶ χαρακώματι περιλαβών, τοὺσ δ’ ἱππεῖσ ἅπαντασ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐπὶ τοὺσ κατὰ τὴν χώραν πλανωμένουσ τῶν πολεμίων καὶ περὶ τὰσ ὠφελείασ διατρίβοντασ.
