  • τῇ δὲ αὐτῇ προθυμίᾳ χρώμενοι καὶ πρὸσ τὴν Ἑλλάδα τῷ θεραπεύειν προσήγοντο τὰσ πόλεισ καὶ τῷ πείθειν ταῖσ εὐεργεσίαισ μᾶλλον ἢ τῷ βιάζεσθαι τοῖσ ὅπλοισ κατεῖχον, πιστοτέροισ χρώμενοι τοῖσ λόγοισ ἢ νῦν τοῖσ ὁρ́κοισ, καὶ ταῖσ συνθήκαισ ἀξιοῦντεσ μᾶλλον ἐμμένειν ἢ ταῖσ ἀνάγκαισ, τοιαῦτα δὲ περὶ τῶν ἡττόνων ἀξιοῦντεσ γινώσκειν, οἱᾶ περὶ σφῶν αὐτῶν τοὺσ κρείττουσ ἂν ἠξίωσαν φρονεῖν, οὕτω δὲ παρεσκευασμένοι τὰσ γνώμασ, ὡσ ἰδίᾳ μὲν ἔχοντεσ τὰσ ἑαυτῶν πόλεισ, κοινὴν δὲ πατρίδα τὴν Ἑλλάδα οἰκοῦντεσ. (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, De Isocrate, chapter 5 1:2)

(Dionysius of Halicarnassus, De Isocrate, chapter 14 2:8)
  • ἐπεὶ δὲ ἱκανῶσ ἐχρημάτισε ταῖσ εὐχαῖσ, ἐπὶ τὸν ἑξῆσ μεταβὰσ θρόνον καὶ τὴν δευτέραν θυρίδα κατακύψασ τοῖσ ὁρ́κοισ ἐσχόλαζε καὶ τοῖσ ὀμνύουσι. (Lucian, Icaromenippus, (no name) 26:1)
