Passage 8.46.2
φαίνεται δὲ οὐκ ἄρξας ὁ Αὔγουστος ἀναθήματα καὶ ἕδη θεῶν ἀπάγεσθαι παρὰ τῶν κρατηθέντων, καθεστηκότι δὲ ἐκ παλαιοῦ χρησάμενος. Ἰλίου τε γὰρ ἁλούσης καὶ νεμομένων τὰ λάφυρα Ἑλλήνων, Σθενέλῳ τῷ Καπανέως τὸ ξόανον τοῦ Διὸς ἐδόθη τοῦ Ἑρκείου· καὶ ἔτεσιν ὕστερον πολλοῖς Δωριέων ἐς Σικελίαν ἐσοικιζομένων, Ἀντίφημος ὁ Γέλας οἰκιστὴς πόλισμα Σικανῶν Ὀμφάκην πορθήσας μετεκόμισεν ἐς Γέλαν ἄγαλμα ὑπὸ Δαιδάλου πεποιημένον.
It appears that Augustus was not the initiator of removing dedications and images of the gods from conquered peoples, but rather employed a custom long established from earlier times. For when Troy was captured and the Greeks were distributing the spoils, the wooden image of Zeus Herkeios was given to Sthenelus, the son of Capaneus. Years later, too, when the Dorians settled in Sicily, Antiphemos, the founder of Gela, having destroyed Omphake, a town of the Sikanians, carried off to Gela an image crafted by Daedalus.
