Examples

  • ἐποίησε δ’ οὗτοσ καὶ παρὰ τὰσ Ἀριστοτέλουσ ἀπορίασ καὶ ἀνεγίνωσκε δημοσίᾳ, διὰ τί ὁ ἥλιοσ δύνει μὲν κολυμβᾷ δ’ οὔ, καὶ διὰ τί οἱ σπόγγοι συμπίνουσι μὲν συγκωθωνίζονται δ’ οὔ, καὶ τὰ τετράδραχμα καταλλάττεται μὲν ὀργίζεται δ’ οὔ. (Athenaeus, The Deipnosophists, book 1, chapter 353)
  • ἐτέτακτο γὰρ ἑκάστησ ἡμέρασ τῷ καταλύτῃ τὸν ξένον διδόναι τέσσαρα τετράδραχμα καὶ παρέχειν δεῖπνον αὐτῷ καὶ φίλοισ, ὅσουσ ἂν ἐθέλῃ καλεῖν, ταξίαρχον δὲ πεντήκοντα δραχμὰσ λαμβάνειν τῆσ ἡμέρασ, ἐσθῆτα δὲ ἄλλην μὲν οἰκουρῶν, ἄλλην δὲ εἰσ ἀγορὰν προερχόμενοσ. (Plutarch, Sulla, chapter 25 2:2)
