  • χρὴ δὲ οἶμαι μὴ οὕτωσ, ἀλλ̓ ὅμοια τὰ πάντα καὶ ὁμόχροα εἶναι καὶ συνᾷδον τῇ κεφαλῇ τὸ ἄλλο σῶμα, ὡσ μὴ χρυσοῦν μὲν τὸ κράνοσ εἰή, θώραξ δὲ πάνυ γελοῖοσ ἐκ ῥακῶν ποθεν ἢ ἐκ δερμάτων σαπρῶν συγκεκαττυμένοσ καὶ ἡ ἀσπὶσ οἰσυΐνη καὶ χοιρίνη περὶ ταῖσ κνήμαισ. (Lucian, Quomodo historia conscribenda sit, chapter 233)
  • ταῦτα δὲ ἐγὼ ἀκούων καὶ ἐλεήσασ τοῦτον, καὶ ἅμα ὁρῶν κακῶσ διακείμενον καὶ δεικνύοντα ἕλκη ἐν ταῖσ κνήμαισ ὑπὸ δεσμῶν, ὧν ἔτι τὰσ οὐλὰσ ἔχει, καὶ ἐὰν κελεύσητε αὐτὸν δεῖξαι, οὐ μὴ ’θελήσῃ, ἀπεκρινάμην αὐτῷ ὅτι καὶ ἐν τῷ ἔμπροσθεν χρόνῳ εἰήν αὐτῷ φίλοσ ἀληθινόσ, καὶ νῦν ἐν τῇ συμφορᾷ βοηθήσοιμι αὐτῷ, καὶ τάσ τε τριακοσίασ, ἃσ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκα ἐφόδιον ὅτε ἐπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦτον, ἀφιείην αὐτῷ, χιλίασ τε δραχμὰσ ἔρανον αὐτῷ εἰσ τὰ λύτρα εἰσοίσοιμι. (Demosthenes, Speeches 51-61, 10:1)
