  • περὶ δὲ τυραννίδοσ ἦν ἡμῖν λοιπὸν εἰπεῖν, οὐχ ὡσ ἐνούσησ πολυλογίασ περὶ αὐτήν, ἀλλ’ ὅπωσ λάβῃ τῆσ μεθόδου τὸ μέροσ, ἐπειδὴ καὶ ταύτην τίθεμεν τῶν πολιτειῶν τι μέροσ. (Aristotle, Politics, Book 4 149:1)
  • ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ γὰρ ἐν σώματι, ὅσοι νέοι ὄντεσ μέγεθοσ ἔλαβον, ὅμωσ ἐμφαίνεται τὸ νεαρὸν αὐτοῖσ ὃ κατηγορεῖ τὴν ὀλιγοετίαν, οὕτω καὶ Κύρου ἐκ τῆσ πολυλογίασ οὐ θράσοσ διεφαίνετο, ἀλλ’ ἁπλότησ καὶ φιλοστοργία, ὥστ’ ἐπεθύμει ἄν τισ ἔτι πλείω αὐτοῦ ἀκούειν ἢ σιωπῶντι παρεῖναι.
