Where it is used

Plutarch, Amatorius 18·2: … ομένων οὕτως ὁ αὐλὸς καὶ τὰ μητρῷα καὶ τὸ τύμπανον ἐξίστησιν; ἡμῖν ταὐτὸ σῶμα πολλοὶ καὶ ταὐτὸ κάλλος ὁρῶσιν, εἴληπται δʼ εἷς ὁ ἐρωτικός διὰ τίνʼ αἰτίαν; οὐ γὰρ μανθάνομὲν γέ που τοῦ Μενάνδρου λέγοντος οὐδὲ συνίεμεν, καιρός ἐστι …

Epictetus, Discourses 1.29.22: ἔστω· ἀλλʼ εἴληπταί μού τις τοῦ ἱματίου καὶ ἕλκει μʼ εἰς τὴν ἀγοράν, εἶτα ἐπικραυγάζουσιν ἄλλοι φιλόσοφε, τί σε ὠφέληκε τὰ δόγματα; ἰδοὺ σύρῃ εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, ἰδοὺ μέλλεις τραχηλοκοπεῖσθαι.
