Examples

  • ἐγὼ δέ, ω Ζεῦ, τὰ μὲν τοιαῦτα οὑκ ἐνοχλήσω σε πλοῦτον ἢ χρυσὸν ἢ βασιλείαν αἰτῶν, ἅπερ εὐκταιότατα τοῖσ πολλοῖσ, σοὶ δ’ οὐ πάνυ ῥᾴδια παρασχεῖν ὁρῶ γοῦν σε τὰ πολλὰ παρακούοντα εὐχομένων αὐτῶν. (Lucian, Juppiter confuatus, (no name) 1:1)
  • Ὁ δὲ Ιὤσηποσ πολλὰ διαπειλησάμενοσ αὐτοῖσ καὶ κατονειδίσασ, εἰ πρῶτον μὲν ἀράμενοι τὸν πρὸσ Ῥωμαίουσ πόλεμον εἰσ στάσεισ ἐμφυλίουσ προαναλίσκουσιν τὴν ἰσχὺν καὶ τὰ εὐκταιότατα δρῶσιν τοῖσ ἐχθροῖσ, ἔπειτα τὸν κηδεμόνα τῆσ ἀσφαλείασ αὐτῶν ἀναρπάσαι σπεύδουσιν καὶ κλείειν οὐκ αἰδοῦνται τὴν πόλιν αὐτῷ τῷ τειχίσαντι, προσδέχεσθαι τοὺσ ἀπολογησομένουσ ἔφασκεν καὶ δι’ ὧν βεβαιώσεται τὴν πόλιν. (Flavius Josephus, De bello Judaico libri vii, 799:1)
