- 52 BC, Marcus Tullius Cicero (author), Albert Curtis Clark (editor), Pro T. Annio Milone Oratio in M. Tulli Ciceronis Orationes (1918), § 55:
- Milo qui numquam, tum casu pueros symphoniacos uxoris ducebat et ancillarum greges; ille qui semper secum scorta, semper exoletos, semper lupas duceret, tum neminem, nisi ut virum a viro lectum esse diceres.
- Milo, who was never in the habit of doing so, did by chance have with him some musical slaves belonging to his wife, and troops of maid-servants. The other man, who was always carrying with him prostitutes, worn-out debauchees, both men and women, this time had no one with him except such a band that you might have thought every one of them picked men. ― translation from: Charles Duke Yonge, The Orations of Marcus Tullius Cicero (1891), “The Speech of M. T. Cicero in Defence of Titus Annius Milo”, § 55
