  • Καίλιοσ μὲν δὴ καὶ Μίλων δούλων ἐσθῆτασ ὑποδύντεσ ἀπέδρασαν, πολὺσ δὲ τῶν ἄλλων ἐγίγνετο φόνοσ, οὐ τοὺσ Μίλωνοσ ἔτι φίλουσ ἐρευνώντων, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἐντυγχάνοντα ἀναιρούντων, ἀστὸν ὁμοῦ καὶ ξένον καὶ μάλιστα ὅσοι ταῖσ ἐσθῆσιν ἢ σφραγῖσιν ἀπὸ χρυσοῦ διέφερον. (Appian, The Civil Wars, book 2, chapter 3 8:5)
  • ἆρ’ οὖν ὁ τοσοῦτον αἱρῶν τοὺσ ῥήτορασ, τὴν πειθὼ δὲ ἐπὶ τῶν χειλῶν ἔχων, τοσαύτησ δὲ αἰδοῦσ παρὰ πάντων τυγχάνων, τοιαῦτα δ’ ἀκηκοὼσ ὑπὸ τῶν ἅπαντασ ἐρευνώντων περὶ τἄλλα καὶ εἰσ αὐτὸ τοῦτο κωμῳδούντων ὡσ ἀδυνάτουσ εἰπεῖν, φλυαρίαν τινὰ καὶ λαλιὰν ἐπεδείκνυτο ἐν ταῖσ ἐκκλησίαισ, ἢ παντὸσ ἀνδρὸσ πρᾶγμα διεπράττετο, ἀλλ’ οὐ πολλῇ τινι τῇ περιουσίᾳ χρώμενοσ οὕτω διεγίγνετο, πόρρω μὲν αὐτὸσ ὢν τοῦ ληρεῖν, πλεῖστον δὲ τοὺσ ἄλλουσ ἐθίζων ἀπέχειν; (Aristides, Aelius, Orationes, 15:3)
