Examples

  • διαφέρει δὲ τούτων ἕτερα ἑτέρων τῷ τὰ μὲν ἀσφαλέστερα εἶναι, τὰ δὲ πλείω πορίζειν τὴν ἐπικαρπίαν, δεύτερον δὲ τοκισμόσ, τρίτον δὲ μισθαρνία ταύτησ δ’ ἡ μὲν τῶν βαναύσων τεχνῶν, ἡ δὲ τῶν ἀτέχνων καὶ τῷ σώματι μόνῳ χρησίμων· (Aristotle, Politics, Book 1 148:3)
  • καὶ ὅταν γε πολὺσ σῖτοσ καὶ οἶνοσ γένηται, ἀξίων ὄντων τῶν καρπῶν, ἀλυσιτελεῖσ αἱ γεωργίαι γίγνονται, ὥστε πολλοὶ ἀφέμενοι τοῦ τὴν γῆν ἐργάζεσθαι ἐπ’ ἐμπορίασ καὶ καπηλείασ καὶ τοκισμοὺσ τρέπονται· (Xenophon, Minor Works, , chapter 4 7:2)
