Plutarch, Pomp.  40  (ca. A.D. 100): Nevertheless, Pompeius succeeded in making Demetrius rather less obnoxious to other people by the way in which he calmly put up with his impertinence. It is said, for instance, that at entertainments, while Pompeius was waiting to receive his other guests, Demetrius was often to be seen already reclining at the table, perfectly at his ease and with the hood of his toga pulled down over his ears. Even before he [Demetrius] had returned to Italy he had bought up one of the most pleasant pieces of property in the suburbs of Rome with most delightful walks and facilities for entertainment, and there were gardens, purchased for a great sum of money, called "the Demetrian gardens;" whereas Pompeius himself lived in a simple, inexpensive house until the time of third triumph. Afterwards, certainly, when he was building the beautiful and famous theater which is called after him, he constructed close by it, like a small boat attached to a big ship, a house for himself which was grander than the one he had before; but even this one was not grand enough to excite envy. In fact, so the story goes, when the person who came into the possession of the house after Pompeius first entered he was quite surprised and asked, "Where did Pompeius Magnus hold his dinner parties?"
