M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres (ed. C. D. Yonge), section 59 (search)
There is a woman, a citizen of Segesta, very rich, and nobly born, by name
Lamia. She, having her house full of
spinning jennies, for three years was making him robes and coverlets, all dyed with
purple; Attalus, a rich man at Netum;
Lyso at Lilybaeum; Critolaus at Enna; at Syracuse Aeschrio, Cleomenes, and Theomnastus; at Elorum Archonides
and Megistus. My voice will fail me before the names of the men whom he employed in
this way will; he himself supplied the purple—his friends supplied only
the work, I dare say; for I have no wish to accuse him in every particular, as if it
were not enough for me, with a view to accuse him, that he should have had so much
to give, that he should have wished to carry away so many things; and, besides all
that, this thing which he admits, namely, that he should

See now with what religious reverence it is regarded. Know, O judges, that among
all the Segestans none was found, whether free man or slave, whether citizen or
foreigner, to dare to touch that statue. Know that some barbarian workmen were
brought from Lilybaeum; they at length,
ignorant of the whole business, and of the religious character of the image, agreed
to take it down for a sum of money, and took it down. And when it was being taken
out of the city, how great was the concourse of women! how great was the weeping of
the old men! some of whom even recollected that day when that same Diana being
brought back to Segesta from Carthage,
had announced to them, by its return, the victory of the Roman people. How different
from that time did this day seem! then the general of the Roman people, a most

In the district of Triocala, a place which the fugitive slaves
had occupied before, the family of a certain Sicilian called Leonidas was implicated
in suspicion of a conspiracy. Information of the matter was laid before Verres.
Immediately, as was natural, by his command, the men who had been named were
arrested and taken to Lilybaeum. Their
master was summoned to appear, and after the case had been heard they were
condemned.

Because he had imprisoned there many Roman citizens who were his
prisoners, and because he ordered the other pirates to be put there too, he was
aware that if he committed this counterfeit captain of the pirates to the same
custody, a great many men in those quarries would inquire for the real captain. And
therefore he does not venture to commit the man to this best of all and safest of
all places of confinement. In fact he is afraid of the whole of Syracuse. He sends the man away. Where to?
Perhaps to Lilybaeum. I see; he was not
then so entirely afraid of the seafaring men? By no means, O judges. To Panormus then? I understand; although indeed,
since he was taken within the Syracusan district, he ought, at all events, to have
been kept in prison at Syracuse, if he
was not to be executed there.
