Where it is used

Cicero, De Imperio Cn. Pompei Ad Quirites 7: et quoniam semper appetentes gloriae praeter ceteras gentis atque avidi laudis fuistis, delenda vobis est illa macula Mithridatico bello superiore concepta quae penitus iam insedit …

Sallust, Bellum Iugurthinum 94·2: Quod ubi accidit, eo acrius Romani instare, fundere ac plerosque tantummodo sauciare, dein super occisorum corpora uadere, auidi gloriae certantes murum petere, neque quemquam omnium praeda morari. Sic forte correcta Mari temeritas gloriam ex culpa invenit.

Martial, Epigrammata 3.58.20: Avidi secuntur vilicae sinum porci
