Plutarch. Par. min. c. 7: Τοῦλλος Ὁστίλλιος, βασιλεὺς Ῥωμαίων, ἐπολέμησεν Ἀλβανοῖς, βασιλέως ὄντος Μετίου Φουβεντίου, καὶ τὴν μάχην πολλάκις ὑπερέθετο. Οἱ δὲ, ἡττωμένου, εἰς εὐωχίαν ἐτράπησαν· οἰνωμένοις δ’ ἐπέθετο, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα, δύο πώλους συζεύξας, διεσπάραξεν· ὡς Ἀλέξαρχος ἐν τετάρτῃ Ἰταλικῶν.

Servius ad Virgil. Aen. III, 334: [Chaonios cognomine Campos] Epirum campos non habere omnibus notum est; sed constat ibi olim regem nomine Campum fuisse ejusque posteros Campylidas dictos et Epirum Campaniam vocatam, sicut Alexarchus, historicus graecus, et Aristonicus referunt. Varro filiam Campi Campaniam dictam, unde provinciae nomen, post vero, sicuti dictum est, Chaoniam ab Heleno appellatam, qui fratrem suum Chaonem, vel, ut alii dicunt, comitem, dum venaretur, occiderat. Alii filiam Campi Cestriam ab Heleno ductam uxorem, et de nomine soceri Cam pos, de nomine Chaone, Chaonas dixisse.
