   • c. 100 CE – c. 130 CE, Juvenal, Satires VIII.80–4:

     Ambiguae si quando citabere testis
     incertaeque rei, Phalaris licet imperet ut sis
     falsus et admoto dictet periuria tauro,
     summum crede nefas animam praeferre pudori
     et propter uitam uiuendi perdere causas.

     If ever you are summoned as witness
     to an uncertain and doubtful case, though a Phalaris may demand you
     to be false and dictate perjuries with his moved bull,
     believe the greatest wrong is to prefer
     life to honor and by life to lose the reason of life.
