Examples

  • ἐρείδεσθαι βούλεται τὰ ὀνόματα ἀσφαλῶσ καὶ στάσεισ λαμβάνειν ἰσχυράσ, ὥστ’ ἐκ περιφανείασ ἕκαστον ὄνομα ὁρᾶσθαι, ἀπέχειν τε ἀπ’ ἀλλήλων τὰ μόρια διαστάσεισ ἀξιολόγουσ αἰσθητοῖσ χρόνοισ διειργόμενα· (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, De Compositione Verborum, chapter 222)
  • οὐ ζητεῖ καθ’ ἓν ἕκαστον ὄνομα ἐκ περιφανείασ ὁρᾶσθαι οὐδὲ ἐν ἕδρᾳ πάντα βεβηκέναι πλατείᾳ τε καὶ ἀσφαλεῖ οὐδὲ μακροὺσ τοὺσ μεταξὺ αὐτῶν εἶναι χρόνουσ, οὐδ’ ὅλωσ τὸ βραδὺ καὶ σταθερὸν τοῦτο φίλον αὐτῇ, ἀλλὰ κεκινῆσθαι βούλεται τὴν ὀνομασίαν καὶ φέρεσθαι θάτερα κατὰ τῶν ἑτέρων ὀνομάτων καὶ ὀχεῖσθαι τὴν ἀλληλουχίαν λαμβάνοντα βάσιν ὥσπερ τὰ ῥέοντα καὶ μηδέποτε ἀτρεμοῦντα· (Dionysius of Halicarnassus, De Compositione Verborum, chapter 232)
