### 1

Athenaeus XIV: Καλεῖται δέ τι καὶ τῶν πολιορκητικῶν ὀργάνων σαμβύκη, οὗ τό τε σχῆμα καὶ τὴν κατασκευὴν ἀποδείκνυσι Βίτων ἐν τῷ πρὸς Ἄτταλον Περὶ ὀργάνων. Καὶ Ἀνδρέας ὁ Πανορμίτης ἐν τῷ τριακοστῷ τρίτῳ τῶν Σικελικῶν τῶν κατὰ πόλιν, ὡς ἀπὸ δύο ὄνων προσάγοιτο τοῖς τῶν ἐναντίων τείχεσι· καλεῖσθαί τε σαμβύκην, ἐπειδὴ, ὅταν ἐξαρθῇ, γίνεται σχῆμα νεὼς καὶ κλίμακος ἑνοποιού μενον, ὅμοιον δέ τί ἐστι καὶ τὸ τῆς σαμβύκης.
