Diogenes Laertius, Vitae philosophorum 1.11.119: … πειδὴ αὐτῇ Ζὰς γῆν γέρας διδοῖ. σώζεται δὲ καὶ ἡλιοτροπεῖον ἐν Σύρῳ τῇ νήσῳ. Φησὶ δὲ Δοῦρις ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ τῶν Ὡρῶν ἐπιγεγράφθαι αὐτῷ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα τόδε·

Arrian, Ἀλεξάνδρου Ἀνάβασις 4.27.9: καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ δὲ τῶν Ὤρων ἡ πολιορκία οὐ χαλεπὴ ἐγένετο, ἀλλʼ εὐθὺς ἐξ ἐφόδου προσβαλὼν τοῖς τείχεσι τῆς πόλεως ἐκράτησε, καὶ τοὺς ἐλέφαντας τοὺς ἐγκαταλειφθέντας ἔλαβε. καὶ ταῦτα οἱ ἐν τοῖς Βαζίροις ὡς ἔμαθον, ἀπογνόντες

Strabo, Geography 15.2.7: … τῶν εἰδότων, τὸ δὲ μυθῶδες προσετέθη κολακείας χάριν. ἐλθὼν δʼ εἰς τὸ βασίλειον τῶν Γεδρωσίων ἑξηκοσταῖος ἀπὸ Ὠρῶν, διαναπαύσας τὰ πλήθη μικρόν, ἀπῆρεν εἰς τὴν Καρμανίαν.
