Examples

  • οὐ δίκαιον τοίνυν παρὰ τῶν ἰατρῶν τὴν ὁμοίαν ἐπ’ ἀμφοῖν θεραπείαν ἀπαιτεῖν, εἰδότασ ὡσ πολὺ τοὐν μέσῳ, βίῳ παντὶ καὶ πράξεσιν ὅλαισ καὶ πᾶσιν ἐπιτηδεύμασιν ἐξ ἀρχῆσ εὐθὺσ κεχωρισμένων. (Lucian, Abdicatus, (no name) 29:1)
  • αἰδοῦμαι μὲν οὖν ὑπὲρ ἀμφοῖν, ὑπέρ τε σοῦ καὶ ἐμαυτοῦ σοῦ μέν, ἀξιοῦντοσ μνήμῃ καὶ γραφῇ παραδοθῆναι ἄνδρα τρισκατάρατον, ἐμαυτοῦ δέ, σπουδὴν ποιουμένου ἐπὶ τοιαύτῃ ἱστορίᾳ καὶ πράξεσιν ἀνθρώπου, ὃν οὐκ ἀναγιγνώσκεσθαι πρὸσ τῶν πεπαιδευμένων ἦν ἄξιον, ἀλλ’ ἐν πανδήμῳ τινὶ μεγίστῳ θεάτρῳ ὁρᾶσθαι ὑπὸ πιθήκων ἢ ἀλωπέκων σπαραττόμενον. (Lucian, Alexander, (no name) 2:1)
  • ἢ τίσ οὐκ ἂν καταγελάσειεν ὑμῶν τῶν τούτου τολμώντων ἀκούειν, ἀντιθεὶσ ἐφ’ αἷσ οὗτοσ σεμνύνεται πράξεσιν ἐκείνασ ἃσ Τιμόθεοσ ὑμᾶσ καὶ Κόνων εὐεργέτησαν; (Dinarchus, Speeches, 19:2)
  • διὸ καὶ οὐχ ὅσιον ὑμῖν ἐστὶ ταύτασ ἀκύρουσ ποιεῖν, οὐδὲ τοὺσ θεοὺσ ὀμωμοκόσι περὶ ταύτησ τῆσ κρίσεωσ ταῖσ αὐτῶν τῶν θεῶν πράξεσιν ἐναντίαν τὴν ψῆφον ἐνεγκεῖν. (Dinarchus, Speeches, 104:4)
  • ἔπειτα τὸν ἐν μὲν ταῖσ πολεμικαῖσ πράξεσιν ἄπιστον γεγενημένον, ἐν δὲ ταῖσ κατὰ τὴν πόλιν οἰκονομίαισ ἄχρηστον, περιεορακότα δὲ τοὺσ ἀντιπολιτευομένουσ ἅπαντα διαπεπραγμένουσ ὅσ’ ἐβουλήθησαν, μεταβεβλημένον δ’ αὐτὸν καὶ τὰσ ὑπὲρ τοῦ δήμου πράξεισ ἐγκαταλελοιπότα, τοῦτον περιποιῆσαι βουλήσεσθε; (Dinarchus, Speeches, 117:1)
