   • 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
