   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.99–101:

     “[...] saevus ubī̆ Aeacidae tēlō iacet Hector, ubī̆ ingēns
     Sarpēdōn, ubī̆ tot Simois correpta sub undīs
     scūta virum galeāsque et fortia corpora volvit!”

     “[Troy…], where fierce Hector lies, [pierced] by the spear of Achilles, where huge Sarpedon [perished], [and] where the [River] Simois has seized and rolled beneath its waves so many shields, helmets and bodies of brave men!”
