  • τὸ μὲν γὰρ πρῶτον φελλοῖσ τισι περιπεσόντασ ἀνέχειν ἐπὶ τούτων ἑαυτοὺσ καὶ ἀπονήχεσθαι πονηρῶσ, ὕστερον δὲ τὴν ἀποβάθραν ἰδόντασ ἤδη πρὸσ ἑώ προσνήξασθαί τε αὐτῇ καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν ἐπιβάντασ εὐμαρῶσ προσενεχθῆναι τῇ Ζακύνθῳ. (Lucian, Toxaris vel amicitia, (no name) 21:6)
  • καὶ γράμματα μὲν οὐκ ἔλαβε πρὸσ τοὺσ ἐν τῷ Καπιτωλίῳ, μὴ ληφθέντοσ αὐτοῦ φωράσωσιν οἱ πολέμιοι δι’ αὐτῶν τοῦ Καμίλλου τήν διάνοιαν, ἐσθῆτα δὲ φαύλην ἔχων καὶ φελλοὺσ ὑπ’ αὐτῇ κομίζων τήν μὲν ἄλλην ὁδὸν ἡμέρασ ἀδεῶσ διῆλθεν, ἐγγὺσ δὲ τῆσ πόλεωσ γενόμενοσ ἤδη σκοταῖοσ, ἐπεὶ κατὰ γέφυραν οὐκ ἦν τόν ποταμὸν περᾶσαι τῶν βαρβάρων παραφυλαττόντων, τήν μὲν ἐσθῆτα τῇ κεφαλῇ περισπειράσασ οὐ πολλὴν οὐδὲ βαρεῖαν, τοῖσ δὲ φελλοῖσ ἐφεὶσ τὸ σῶμα καὶ συνεπικουφίζων τῷ περαιοῦσθαι πρὸσ τήν πόλιν ἐξέβη.
