    • c. 100 CE – 110 CE, Tacitus, Histories 1.37:
      Horror animum subit quotiens recordor feralem introitum et hanc solam Galbae victoriam, cum in oculis urbis decimari deditos iuberet, quos deprecantis in fidem acceperat.
      Horror overtakes me when I think back to that gruesome entry [in Rome], which was Galba's only victory, when before the eyes of the city he ordered the prisoners to be decimated, after he had accepted their pleas for surrender.
    • c. 69 CE – 122 CE, Suetonius, De vita Caesarum Vita divi Augusti 24:
      Cohortes, si quae cessissent loco, decimatas hordeo pavit.

      Prius quam provincia decederet, consilium iniit nefandae atrocitatis legiones, quae post excessum Augusti seditionem olim moverant, contrucidandi, quod et patrem suum Germanicum ducem et se infantem tunc obsedissent, vixque a tam praecipiti cogitatione revocatus, inhiberi nullo modo potuit quin decimare velle perseveraret.
      Before leaving the province, he formed a plan of unspeakable cruelty: to slaughter the legions that had once mutinied on Augustus's passing, because they had held both his father Germanicus, their commander, and himself as an infant captive at the time – and though he was with great effort talked out of such a rash thought, he could in no way be dissuaded from persevering in wanting to decimate them.
  2. to pay tithes
