- τοῦ γὰρ εἴργοντοσ ἰσθμοῦ τὴν ἐρυθρὰν ἀπὸ τῆσ κατ’ Αἴγυπτον θαλάσσησ καὶ δοκοῦντοσ Ἀσίαν καὶ Λιβύην ὁρίζειν, ᾗ σφίγγεται μάλιστα τοῖσ πελάγεσι καὶ βραχύτατοσ εὖρόσ ἐστι, τριακοσίων σταδίων ὄντων, ἐνεχείρησεν ἄρασα τὸν στόλον ὑπερνεωλκῆσαι, καὶ καθεῖσα τὰσ ναῦσ εἰσ τὸν Ἀραβικὸν κόλπον μετὰ χρημάτων πολλῶν καὶ δυνάμεωσ ἔξω κατοικεῖν, ἀποφυγοῦσα δουλείαν καὶ πόλεμον. (Plutarch, Antony, chapter 69 2:2)
- ἡμέρα ῥητὴ πρόκειται, ἐν ᾗ δεῖ ἀποθνήσκειν, τοῖσ δὲ καὶ τοῦτο ἄδηλον, εἴτε μετ’ ὀλίγον εἴτε ἤδη, καὶ οὐδεὶσ καιρόσ, οὐδὲ ὁ βραχύτατοσ, ἀπήλλακται τούτου τοῦ δέουσ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐσθίοντα ἀνάγκη δεδιέναι καὶ θύοντα τοῖσ θεοῖσ καὶ συμπίνειν τούτῳ τῷ φόβῳ καὶ συγκαθεύδειν. (Dio, Chrysostom, Orationes, 52:1)
- ὧν ἓν μέν ἐστι τὸ καὶ πρὶν ἐτησίασ συμβῆναι πολλάκισ αἴρεσθαι τὸν ποταμὸν, δεύτερον δὲ τὸ μὴ καὶ συμβάντων ὅλωσ, τρίτον δὲ καὶ τέταρτον τούτοισ ἀκόλουθα τὸ μὲν ὡσ οὐ τηνικαῦτα μέγιστοσ ἐπέρχεται, ἡνίκ’ ἂν μέγιστοι καταίρωσιν ἐτησίαι καὶ νέφη πλεῖστα κινήσωσι, τὸ δ’ ἐναλλὰξ ὡσ οὐ τηνικαῦτα αὖ βραχύτατοσ, ἡνίκ’ ἂν τὰ πνεύματα κοῦφα συμβῇ, πάντα ταῦτα εἰκὸσ ὂν οὐχ ὡσ νῦν ἔχειν, εἴπερ ἢ οἱ ἐτησίαι κύριοι τοῦ ῥεύματοσ ἦσαν, ἢ κατὰ στόμα εἴργοντεσ, ἢ πληροῦντεσ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ. (Aristides, Aelius, Orationes, 11:4)
