Examples

  • καὶ γὰρ περὶ τὸν ναὸν ἀθροιζόμενον τὸ ἀσθενέστερον ἐδαιμονία καὶ πολλὰ θειωδέστερον πρὸσ τοὺσ καιροὺσ ἐλογοποίει, καὶ τῶν τολμηροτέρων κατὰ στῖφοσ ἦσαν λῃστεῖαι πολύτροποι, μάλιστα τὰ περὶ τὴν πόλιν ἁρπαζόντων ἐπιτήδεια καὶ μήτε ἵπποισ μήτε ἀνδράσιν ὑπολειπομένων τροφήν. (Flavius Josephus, De bello Judaico libri vii, 500:2)
  • ἐπειδὴ τὴν προθυμίαν ὁρᾷ τῆσ πληθύοσ, μηδὲν εἰσ ἀπόνοιαν αὐτῆσ παρακινεῖν, ἀλλὰ γράφειν πρὸσ Γάιον τὸ ἀνήκεστον αὐτῶν πρὸσ τὴν ἀποδοχὴν τοῦ ἀνδριάντοσ, πῶσ τε ἀποστάντεσ τοῦ γεωργεῖν ἀντικαθέζονται, πολεμεῖν μὲν οὐ βουλόμενοι διὰ τὸ μηδ’ ἂν δύνασθαι, θανεῖν δ’ ἔχοντεσ ἡδονὴν πρὶν παραβῆναι τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῖσ, ὥστε ἀσπόρου τῆσ γῆσ γενομένησ λῃστεῖαι ἂν φύοιντο ἀδυναμίᾳ καταβολῆσ τῶν φόρων. (Flavius Josephus, Antiquitates Judaicae, Book 18 325:1)
