    Gesta Romanorum 44 de invidia

    Tiberius regnavit, qui ante sumptum imperium erat prudens ingenio, clarus eloquio, fortunatus in bello, sed post resolutus militiae artibus nulla bella gerens populum Romanum graviter afflixit, filios proprios pluresque patricios et consules interfecit. Huic quidam artifex vitrum ductile se posse fabricare obtulit, quod Tiberius ad parietem proiciens non fractum sustulit, sed curvatum, et artifex malleum proferens et velut cuprum vitrum fabricans mox correxit. Interrogante autem Tiberio ab eo, quomodo hoc posset fieri, ille dixit neminem hanc artem scire super terram. Quem Tiberius mox decollari iussit dicens: Si haec ars venerit in consuetudinem, pro nihilo aurum et argentum reputabitur.
