Where it is used

Plutarch, Alexander 52.2: … ιϊὼν ἀλύπως, λαβέσθαι τοῦ πάθους, ὁ δὲ Ἀνάξαρχος ἰδίαν τινὰ πορευόμενος ἐξ ἀρχῆς ὁδὸν ἐν φιλοσοφίᾳ, καὶ δόξαν εἰληφὼς ὑπεροψίας καὶ ὀλιγωρίας τῶν συνήθων, εὐθὺς εἰσελθὼν ἀνεβόησεν·

Xenophon, Cyropaedia 5.3.14: εἰκὸς γοῦν, ἔφη ὁ Γωβρύας, τὰ μὲν ἔνδον ἐκείνου συμπαρασκευάζοντος, τὰ δʼ ἔξωθεν σοῦ ἰσχυρότερα προσάγοντος. ἴθι οὖν, ἔφη, καὶ πειρῶ ταῦτα διδάξας καὶ διαπραξάμενος παρεῖναι· πιστὰ δὲ αὐτῷ οὐκ ἂν μείζω οὔτʼ εἴποις οὔτε δείξαις ὧν αὐτὸς σὺ τυγχάνεις παρʼ ἡμῶν εἰληφώς.
