This book looks to be full of delights, with a lovely distich right on the first page, although most of the poems are tetrastichs, rather than distichs:

Nox et Dies
Mille oculos gerit illa, Cyclops hic errat: at uno
Plus oculo hic cernit: luscus an Argus erit?

This is a selection of poems from the Greek Anthology rendered into Latin verse. Authors and citations are provided, but only the Latin versions, no Greek. It's a lovely selection of poems with many distichs, of course! There are notes in Latin also.

The poems are in a variety of meters and there are a few distichs scattered here and there:
Ad Iesum Felle Potatum
Tu tibi, non nobis, Iesu, fel triste bibisti:
Fel tibi, mel nobis potio amara fuit.
I've also found a later edition of the epigrams which contains an additional book of Silvae and two books of lyric poetry.

This is definitely a book to harvest for distichs. Like this one!
Bileami Asina
Cur adeo Bileami omnes mirantur asellam,
Cum vel mille asini magna loquantur adhuc?

This is a charming book; I won't find but a few distichs here although it is worth looking. Here's a nice little poem Ad Lectorem:
Sunt mala, sunt quaedam peiora, et pessima plura:
Arguit autorem pagina nostra suum.

The Sebethus river flows through Campania into the sea between Naples and Herculaneum. This is a collection of 10 books of epigrams, mostly on the long side but I will find some nice distichs here for sure. For example, 1.89: Caesar allatum ad se Pompei caput flevit
Caesar ad abscissum Magni caput, indice fletu
Hoc doluit, manibus non periisse suis.

The poems are on the long side, in a variety of meters. I don't think I will find many distichs here, but it will be worth taking a look.
