Where it is used

Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 5.10.5: … αιρὸν καὶ τὸ στράτευμα τῶν Ἀθηναίων κινούμενον, λέγει τοῖς μεθ’ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ὅτι ‘οἱ ἄνδρες ἡμᾶς οὐ μενοῦσιν. δῆλοι δὲ τῶν τε δοράτων τῇ κινήσει καὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν· οἷς γὰρ ἂν τοῦτο γίγνηται, οὐκ εἰώθασι μένειν τοὺς ἐπιόν …

Aesop, Fables 13: … πᾶσι δὲ λουτροῖς ἐπειρᾶτο φαιδρύνειν· καὶ τὸ μὲν χρῶμα μεταβαλεῖν οὐκ ἔσχε, νοσεῖν δὲ τῷ πονεῖν παρεσκεύασεν. Μένουσιν αἱ φύσεις, ὡς προῆλθον τὸ πρότερον.
