  • οὐδὲ γὰρ κατὰ τέχνην αὐτὸ δρᾶν ἴσασιν οὐδ̓ ἐπισκιάζουσι τὴν θωπείαν, ἀλλ̓ ἐμπεσόντεσ ἀθρόα πάντα καὶ ἀπίθανα καὶ γυμνὰ διεξίασιν. (Lucian, Quomodo historia conscribenda sit, chapter 11 1:4)
  • ὅταν δὲ αὐχμηρόν τινα καὶ συνεσταλμένον ἴδητε καὶ μόνον βαδίζοντα, πρῶτον αὑτὸν ἐξετάζοντα καὶ λοιδοροῦντα, μὴ ζητεῖτε παρὰ τοῦ τοιούτου μηδεμίαν θωπείαν μηδὲ ἀπάτην, μηδὲ τὸν δεξιὸν ἐκεῖνον καὶ προσηνῆ λόγον, ὃσ δὴ μάλιστα διατρίβει περὶ δήμουσ καὶ σατράπασ καὶ τυράννουσ.
