- c. 52 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Gallico 5.5:
  Ibi cognoscit LX naves, quae in Meldis factae erant, tempestate reiectas cursum tenere non potuisse atque eodem unde erant profectae revertisse.
  There he discovers that sixty ships, which had been built in the country of the Meldi, having been driven back by a storm, had been unable to maintain their course, and had returned to the same port from which they had set out.
- 45 BCE, Cicero, De finibus bonorum et malorum 2.102:
  Idemne potest esse dies saepius, qui semel fuit? Certe non potest. An eiusdem modi? Ne id quidem, nisi multa annorum intercesserint milia, ut omnium siderum eodem, unde profecta sint, fiat ad unum tempus reversio.
  Can a day again be, which already was? It assuredly cannot. Or even a similar day? Not even that can be, unless many thousands of years have passed, so that all the stars simultaneously return to the place whence they have moved.
