106 BCE – 43 BCE, Cicero, Cato Maior De Senectute 1.3:
Quī sī ērudītius vidēbitur disputāre quam cōnsuēvit ipse in suīs librīs, attribuitō litterīs Graecīs, quārum cōnstat eum perstudiōsum fuisse in senectūte.
If [Cato] seems to discuss these matters with more learning than he usually did in his own books, you should attribute it to Greek literature — of which, as is well known, he became a devoted student in his later years.
(In De Senectute, Cicero grants Cato a Greek erudition that belies the historical figure’s staunch anti-Hellenism — a literary license only partially justified by Cato’s own use of Greek sources to compose the Origines.) comparative
