  • ἀφικομένου γὰρ ἐκεῖσε Συρακουσίου ὁρ́κιον ἔχοντοσ καὶ ἑτοίμου ὄντοσ ὁρκοῦν καὶ προσιόντοσ πρὸσ ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν ἐκεῖ ὄντων, ἀντεῖπον εὐθὺσ αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐλθὼν ὡσ Τυδέα διηγούμην ταῦτα, καὶ σύλλογον ἐποίει, καὶ λόγοι οὐκ ὀλίγοι ἦσαν. (Lysias, Speeches, 29:2)
  • ἀλλὰ μὴν ὅτι ταῦτ’ ἀληθῆ λέγω, λέγε πρῶτον μὲν τὸ ψήφισμα, ὡσ ὁρκοῦν προσῆκεν ἡμῖν, εἶτα τὴν ἐπιστολὴν τὴν τοῦ Φιλίππου, εἶτα τὸ Φιλοκράτουσ ψήφισμα καὶ τὸ τοῦ δήμου. (Demosthenes, Speeches 11-20, 208:2)
  • οὐ τὸ μὲν ψήφισμα τοὺσ ἄρχοντασ ὁρκοῦν τοὺσ ἐν ταῖσ πόλεσιν, οὗτοι δ’, οὓσ Φίλιπποσ αὐτοῖσ προσέπεμψε, τούτουσ ὡρ́κισαν; (Demosthenes, Speeches 11-20, 363:7)
  • οὐ γὰρ δὴ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔργον ἑκούσιον ἦν ἄρτι μὲν περὶ εἰρήνησ παρακαλεῖν, καὶ χρήματα τοσαῦτα διδόναι, καὶ τῶν νεῶν τῶν μακρῶν πλὴν ὀλίγων ἀφίστασθαι, καὶ τὸ πολὺ τῆσ ἀρχῆσ ὑμῖν παριέναι, καὶ περὶ τῶνδε ὀμνύναι τε καὶ ὁρκοῦν πέμψαντασ ἐσ Ῥωμην, ἔτι δ’ ὄντων τῶν ἡμετέρων πρέσβεων παρ’ ὑμῖν ἑκόντασ ἁμαρτεῖν.
