“Lydia Zamenhof (translator), Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz, Part 2, Chapter 56, La retisto dume jen alsaltis al li, jen forsaltis, farante per sia tridenta forkego movojn tiel rapidajn, ke la homa rigardo apenaŭ povis ilin sekvi. The retiarius meanwhile sprang up to him, then sprang away, making with his three-toothed fork motions so quick that the eye hardly followed them.”

“Gary Mickle (translator), Ĉe la koro de la tero (At the Earth’s Core) by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Chapter 6,”
