     […] : Perseus caput belli erat, nec ipsius tantum patris auique ⟨ceterorumque⟩, quos sanguine et genere contingebat, fama conspectum eum efficiebat, sed effulgebant Philippus ac magnus Alexander, qui summum inperium in orbe terrarum Macedonum fecerant. pullo amictu ⟨cum⟩ filio Perseus ingressus est castra nullo suorum alio comite, qui socius calamitatis miserabiliorem eum faceret.

   • 2 CE, Ovid, The Art of Love III.185–194:

     Quot nova terra parit flores, cum vere tepenti
     vitis agit gemmas pigraque fugit hiemps,
     lana tot aut plures sucos bibit; elige certos:
     nam non conveniens omnibus omnis erit.
     Pulla decent niveas: Briseïda pulla decebant:
     cum rapta est, pulla tum quoque veste fuit.
     Alba decent fuscas: albis, Cepheï, placebas:
     sic tibi vestitae pressa Seriphos erat.
     Quam paene admonui, ne trux caper iret in alas,
     neve forent duris aspera crura pilis!

   • 8 CE, Ovid, Metamorphoses 11.44–49:

     Te maestae volucres, Orpheu, te turba ferarum,
     te rigidi silices, te carmina saepe secutae
     fleverunt silvae, positis te frondibus arbor
     tonsa comas luxit; lacrimis quoque flumina dicunt
     increvisse suis, obstrusaque carbasa pullo
     naides et dryades passosque habuere capillos.
