Ἑρμῆς ἐπεισελήλῠθε • (Hermês epeiselḗluthe)

an angel passes (literally, "Hermes has entered")
- 46 CE – 120 CE, Plutarch, Moralia 38. De garrulitate:
  καὶ καθάπερ ὅταν ἐν συλλόγῳ τινὶ σιωπὴ γένηται, τὸν Ἑρμῆν ἐπεισεληλυθέναι λέγουσιν, οὕτως ὅταν εἰς συμπόσιον ἢ συνέδριον γνωρίμων λάλος εἰσέλθῃ, πάντες ἀποσιωπῶσι μὴ βουλόμενοι λαβὴν παρασχεῖν.
  kaì katháper hótan en sullógōi tinì siōpḕ génētai, tòn Hermên epeiselēluthénai légousin, hoútōs hótan eis sumpósion ḕ sunédrion gnōrímōn lálos eisélthēi, pántes aposiōpôsi mḕ boulómenoi labḕn paraskheîn.
  1939 translation by W. C. Helmbold
  And just as when silence occurs in an assemblage they say that Hermes has joined the company, so when a chatterbox comes into a dinner-party or social gathering, every one grows silent, not wishing to furnish him a hold.
