  • ὅλωσ γὰρ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἐπινοοῦσι καὶ λέγουσιν, ἃ μάλιστα ἴσασιν ἐσ ὀργὴν δυνάμενα προκαλέσασθαι τὸν ἀκροώμενον, καὶ ἔνθα τρωτόσ ἐστιν ἕκαστοσ ἐπιστάμενοι, ἐπ’ ἐκεῖνο τοξεύουσι καὶ ἀκοντίζουσιν ἐσ αὐτό, ὥστε τῇ παραυτίκα ὀργῇ τεταραγμένον μηκέτι σχολὴν ἄγειν τῇ ἐξετάσει τῆσ ἀληθείασ, ἀλλὰ κἂν θέλῃ τισ ἀπολογεῖσθαι, μὴ προσίεσθαι, τῷ παραδόξῳ τῆσ ἀκροάσεωσ ὡσ ἀληθεῖ προκατειλημμένον. (Lucian, Calumniae non temere credundum, (no name) 15:1)
  • Τοῦτο μὲν οὖν, ὦ θαυμαστὲ Ἡσίοδε, καὶ πάνυ ποιμενικὸν εἴρηταί σοι καὶ ἐπαληθεύειν ἐοίκασ τὴν τῶν Μουσῶν ἐπίπνοιαν αὐτὸσ οὐδ̓ ἀπολογεῖσθαι ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπῶν δυνάμενοσ, ἡμεῖσ δὲ οὐ ταύτην τὴν μαντικὴν παρὰ σοῦ καὶ τῶν Μουσῶν περιεμένομεν· (Lucian, 11:1)
  • ἐπεὶ δὲ τὴν μὲν ἀνῄρηκε καὶ πέπρακε καὶ αἰσχρῶσ καὶ κακῶσ διολώλεκεν, ὡσ οὐκ ἂν ἐβουλόμην, πιστεύων δ’ ἑταιρίαισ καὶ λόγων παρασκευαῖσ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐμὴν ἐλήλυθεν, ἀνάγκη, ὡσ ἐοίκε, συμφορὰν μὲν εἶναι νομίζειν, ὅτι τοιοῦτόσ ἐστιν οἰκεῖοσ ὤν, ἀπολογεῖσθαι δὲ περὶ ὧν ἐγκέκληκε καὶ ἔξω με τοῦ πράγματοσ διαβέβληκεν ὡσ ἂν οὖν δυνώμεθα προθυμότατα πρὸσ ὑμᾶσ. (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, chapter 8 1:2)
  • εἴρηκα, ὦ ἄνδρεσ δικασταί, ὑμεῖσ δέ, ἢν εἰσ τὸν ἐμὸν τρόπον τῶν λόγων ἀπολογεῖσθαι θέλῃ, τοῦτο μὲν μὴ ἐπιτρέπετε, ‐ ἄγνωμον γὰρ ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὴν ἐμὴν μάχαιραν ἀκονᾶν ‐ κατὰ δὲ τὸν αὑτοῦ ἐρώμενον τὸν Διάλογον οὕτωσ ἀπολογείσθω, ἢν δύνηται. (Lucian, Bis accusatus sive tribunalia, (no name) 29:5)
