delta 1071).

Procopius,
Secret History 1.13 (web address 1), describing the shamelessness of the wife of Belisarius. Cf.
kappa 536.
[3] Attributed to
Eunapius by Bernhardy, comparing frs. 66-67 FHG (4.44). (Odysseus sheds his rags -- and proceeds to kill his wife's suitors -- at the beginning of
Homer,
Odyssey 22.)
[4] Perhaps quoted from
Herodotus (3.35.4 or 9.73.2).
