↑ L•CORNELIVS•L•F•P•N•SVLLA•FELIX dalam ukiran Latin, maknanya adalah "Lucius Cornelius Sulla, anak pada Lucius, cucu pada Publius, yang bertuah."

↑ Suetonius, Julius 77. "...No less arrogant were his public utterances, which Titus Ampius records: that the state was nothing, a mere name without body or form; that Sulla did not know his A. B. C. when he laid down his dictatorship; that men ought now to be more circumspect in addressing him, and to regard his word as law. So far did he go in his presumption, that when a soothsayer once reported direful inwards without a heart, he said: "They will be more favourable when I wish it; it should not be regarded as a portent, if a beast has no heart..."
↑ Pliny yang tua, (N'H, VII,XLIV) berkata bahawa "tidakkah pengakhir hidupnya lebih teruk daripada sebarang penderitaan yang dialami oleh mereka yang disingkirkan olehnya? Dagingnya sendiri memakan dirinya, dan dengan itu menjadi ("engendering") hukumannya sendiri."
