Examples

  • ὠθουμένων δὲ πολλῶν ἐπ’ ἀλλήλοισ καὶ ἀθρόων ὑπήγαγεν ὁ ῥοῦσ οὐ πολὺν τόπον, ἀλλ’ ὅπου τὰ πρῶτα συνενεχθέντα καὶ περιπεσόντα τοῖσ στερεοῖσ ὑπέστη, τῶν ἐπιφερομένων διέξοδον οὐκ ἐχόντων, ἀλλ’ ἐνισχομένων καὶ περιπλεκομένων, ἐλάμβανεν ἡ σύμπηξισ ἰσχὺν καὶ ῥίζωσιν αὐξανομένην ὑπὸ τοῦ ῥεύματοσ, ἰλύν τε γὰρ ἐπήγαγε πολλήν, ἣ προσισταμένη τροφὴν παρεῖχεν ἅμα καὶ κόλλησιν, αἵ τε πληγαὶ σάλον οὐκ ἐποίουν, ἀλλὰ μαλακῶσ πιέζουσαι συνήλαυνον εἰσ ταὐτὸ πάντα καὶ συνέπλαττον. (Plutarch, Publicola, chapter 8 2:2)
