   • c. 84 BCE – 54 BCE, Catullus, Carmina 4.13–21:

     Amastri Pontica et Cytōre buxifer,
     tibi haec fuisse et esse cognitissima
     ait phasēlus; ultimā ex orīgine
     tuō stetisse dīcit in cacūmine,
     tuō imbuisse palmulās in aequore,
     et inde tot per impotentia freta
     erum tulisse, laeva sīve dextera
     vocāret aura, sīve utrumque Iuppiter
     simul secundus incidisset in pedem.

     Pontic Amastris and boxwood-bearing Cytorus,
     to you to have been and to be most acquainted
     claims the phaselus; from the first origin
     to have stood on your mountaintop,
     in your water to have dipped the shears,
     and thence over so many powerless waves
     to have taken the master, whether a left- or right-hand
     breeze called, or whichever sheet
     Jupiter came astern at the same time on.

   • 9 CE, Ovid, The Ibis 223–228:

     Prōtinus Eumenidēs lāvēre palūstribus undīs,
          quā cava dē Stygiīs flūxerat unda vadīs,
     pectoraque ūnxērunt Ērebeae felle colubrae
          terque cruentātās increpuēre manūs,
     gutturaque inbuērunt īnfantia lacte canīnō:
          hic prīmus puerī vēnit in ōra cibus.

     Immediately the Furies washed him in the marshy waters,
          where the hollow wave flowed from the ford of the Styx
     and anointed his chest with the venom of a serpent from Erebus
          and thrice clapped their bloodied hands
     and moistened the infant throat with dog milk:
          this food came first into the child's mouth.

     To imbue is usually taken to mean specifically to stain or soil or tinge. Accius in The Trial of Weapons: 'Amongst them oft too tainted with much blood'. The same in Melanippus: 'You think I'm going to stain my hands with the blood of a friend?'

     Who doesn't know the custom of the Egyptians? whose minds accustomed to delusions of wrongness would rather undergo as much torture as you want than desecrate the ibis or the asp or the cat or the crocodile, and to whom, even if one inadvertently did something to, he would not refuse any punishment.

4. to do something for the first time, set the example
   • 30 BCE – 16 BCE, Propertius, Elegies 4.10.5–8:

     tempore quō portās Caenīnum Acrōna petentem
          victor in ēversum cuspide fundis equum.

     You set the example, Romulus, of the first prize,
          and return loaded with spoils from the enemy,
     at the time when the Caenine Acron going for the gates
          you kill with a spear upon his fallen horse.

   • 20 BCE – 14 BCE, Horace, Epistles 2.2.1–9:

     Flōre, bonō clārōque fidēlis amīce Nerōnī,
     sī quis forte velit puerum tibi vēndere nātum
     Tībure vel Gabiīs, et tēcum sīc agat: 'Hīc et
     candidus et tālōs ā vertice pulcher ad īmōs
     fīet eritque tuus nummōrum mīlibus octō,
     verna ministeriīs ad nūtūs aptus erīlīs,
     litterulīs Graecīs imbutūs, idōneus artī
     cuilibet; argillā quidvīs imitāberis ūdā;
     quīn etiam canet indoctum sed dulce bibentī. […] '

     Florus, faithful friend to the good and famous Tiberius Claudius Nero,
     if someone by chance wanted to sell you a slave born
     at Tibur or Gabii, and dealt with you thus: 'This one
     will become white and beautiful from top to the lowest ankles
     and will be yours for eight thousand sesterces,
     a home-born slave apt for tasks at the master's nod,
     somewhat initiated in Greek learning, fitting for any
     trade; you'll model whatever you will in wet clay;
     moreover, he'll also sing, artlessly but sweetly, to you when you drink. […]

   • c. 102 CE, Tacitus, Dialogus de oratoribus 19.5:

     […] vix in cortīnā quisquam adsistat quīn elementīs studiōrum, etsī nōn instrūctus, at certē imbūtus sit […]

     […] hardly does anyone stand in the circle of hearers who isn't, if not instructed, but surely familiarised with the elements of study […]
