  • ἐγὼ τοίνυν, ὦ βουλή, ἡγούμενοσ μὲν δεινὰ πάσχειν, αἰσχυνόμενοσ δέ, ὅπερ ἤδη καὶ πρότερον εἶπον, τῇ συμφορᾷ, ἠνειχόμην, καὶ μᾶλλον ᾑρούμην μὴ λαβεῖν τούτων τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων δίκην ἢ δόξαι τοῖσ πολίταισ ἀνόητοσ εἶναι, εἰδὼσ ὅτι τῇ μὲν τούτου πονηρίᾳ πρέποντα ἔσται τὰ πεπραγμένα, ἐμοῦ δὲ πολλοὶ καταγελάσονται τοιαῦτα πάσχοντοσ τῶν φθονεῖν εἰθισμένων, ἐάν τισ ἐν τῇ πόλει προθυμῆται χρηστὸσ εἶναι. (Lysias, Speeches, 11:1)
  • καὶ μὴν ὅστισ ἂν προθυμῆται τὰ περὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ δύνηταί τι ποιεῖν ὑμῖν συμφέρον, ἐμὲ πρῶτον ἕξει τὸν μαρτυροῦντα καὶ συναγωνιζόμενον, καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πρᾶγμα, ὃ γίγνεται ὀρθόν, πολὺ ἂν ἥδιον ἐπαινέσαιμι καὶ προθυμότερον ἄλλου πράττοντοσ ἢ αὐτὸσ εἰσηγούμενοσ. (Dio, Chrysostom, Orationes, 32:5)
