    • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.7:
      Num īnfitiārī potes tē illō ipsō diē, meīs praesidiīs, meā dīligentiā circumclūsum commovēre tē contrā rem pūblicam nōn potuisse, cum tū discessū cēterōrum nostra tamen, quī remānsissēmus, caede tē contentum esse dīcēbās?
      Surely you cannot deny that on that very day, hemmed in by my guards and my vigilance, you were unable to make a move against the state, when you were claiming that, even with the others having departed, you would be content with the murder of us who had remained?
    • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 1.1.5:
      Nam ut vīsum est maiōribus nostrīs, ‘sērā parsimōniā in fundō est’; nōn enim tantum minimum in īmō sed pessimum remanet.
      For, as it was understood by our ancestors, “thrift comes too late at the bottom [of the wine container]”; for not only the least but the worst [part is what] remains near the end.
      (Seneca here echoes the Greek poet Hesiod, Works and Days, 368-369, offering wine as a metaphor for life: whatever the portion, consume it wisely, and the sooner the better.)
  2. to endure, persist, abide
