    • 1907, Kabe, chapter 5, in La Faraono, part 2, Hachette, translation of Faraon by Bolesław Prus:
      Jam en la templo de Hator tia insistado ŝajnis al li suspektinda: la milito ja povis liveri al la ŝtato centojn da miloj da sklavoj kaj pligrandigi la bonstaton de la lando.
      Already when in the temple of Hathor, such insistence seemed suspect to him: war could indeed provide the state with hundreds of thousands of slaves and increase the prosperity of the country.
