Varro, On The Latin Language, 7.27


nan. . . (In the Hymn of the Salians are found such old forms as) foedesum for foederum 'of treaties,' plusima for plurima 'most,' meliosem for meliorem 'better,' asenam for arenam 'sand,' ianitos for ianitor 'doorkeeper.' Therefore from Casmena came Carmena, and from Carmena, with loss of the R, came Camena. From the same radical came canite 'sing ye,' for which in a Salian verse is written cante, and this is the verse: Sing ye to the Father of the Gods, entreat the God of Gods.'

1. Cicero, Republic, 2.26 (2nd cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE)

2.26. Ac primum agros, quos bello Romulus ceperat, divisit viritim civibus docuitque sine depopulatione atque praeda posse eos colendis agris abundare commodis omnibus amoremque eis otii et pacis iniecit, quibus facillime iustitia et fides convalescit, et quorum patrocinio maxime cultus agrorum perceptioque frugum defenditur. Idemque Pompilius et auspiciis maioribus inventis ad pristinum numerum duo augures addidit et sacris e principum numero pontifices quinque praefecit et animos propositis legibus his, quas in monumentis habemus, ardentis consuetudine et cupiditate bellandi religionum caerimoniis mitigavit adiunxitque praeterea flamines, Salios virginesque Vestales omnisque partis religionis statuit sanctissime.

4. Philo of Alexandria, On The Special Laws, 1.168 (1st cent. BCE - 1st cent. CE)

1.168. And since, of the sacrifices to be offered, some are on behalf of the whole nation, and indeed, if one should tell the real truth, in behalf of all mankind, while others are only in behalf of each individual who has chosen to offer them; we must speak first of all of those which are for the common welfare of the whole nation, and the regulations with respect to this kind of sacrifice are of a marvellous nature.
5. Josephus Flavius, Jewish Antiquities, 3.205, 3.224 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE)

3.205. Now I shall speak of what we do in our sacred offices in my discourse about sacrifices; and therein shall inform men in what cases Moses bid us offer a whole burnt-offering, and in what cases the law permits us to partake of them as of food. And when Moses had sprinkled Aaron’s vestments, himself, and his sons, with the blood of the beasts that were slain, and had purified them with spring waters and ointment, they became God’s priests. 3.224. 1. I will now, however, make mention of a few of our laws which belong to purifications, and the like sacred offices, since I am accidentally come to this matter of sacrifices. These sacrifices were of two sorts; of those sorts one was offered for private persons, and the other for the people in general; and they are done in two different ways.
6. Tacitus, Annals, 2.69.3, 2.70 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)

2.70.  of all this Germanicus heard with at least as much anger as alarm:— "If his threshold was besieged, if he must surrender his breath under the eye of his enemies, what must the future hold in store for his unhappy wife — for his infant children? Poison was considered too dilatory; Piso was growing urgent — imperative — to be left alone with his province and his legions! But Germanicus had not fallen from himself so far, nor should the price of blood remain with the slayer!" He composed a letter renouncing his friendship: the general account adds that he ordered him to leave the province. Delaying no longer, Piso weighed anchor, and regulated his speed so that the return journey should be the shorter, if Germanicus' death opened the door in Syria.
