Plutarch, Quaestiones Graecae 2:
„Τίς ἡ παρὰ Κυμαίοις ὀνοβάτις; “
Who was the „woman that rode on a donkey“ at Cumae?

Any woman taken in adultery they used to bring into the market-place and set her on a certain stone in plain sight of everyone. In like manner they then proceeded to mount her upon a donkey, and when she had been led about the circuit of the entire city, she was required again to take her stand upon the same stone, and for the rest of her life to continue in disgrace, bearing the name „donkey-rider“ [ὀνοβάτις]. After this ceremony they believed that the stone was unclean and they used ritually to purify it.

(Moralia 291 F)
