Where it is used

Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 6.88.1: … Συρακοσίοις μᾶλλον ἔργῳ, ὡς ἂν δύνωνται μετριώτατα, ἐν δὲ τῷ παρόντι, ἵνα μηδὲ τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις ἔλασσον δοκῶσι νεῖμαι, ἐπειδὴ καὶ ἐπικρατέστεροι τῇ μάχῃ ἐγένοντο, λόγῳ ἀποκρίνασθαι ἴσα ἀμφοτέροις.

Cassius Dio Cocceianus, Historia Romana 52.22.6: καὶ μὴ θαυμάσῃς εἰ καὶ τὴν Ἰταλίαν τοιαῦτα μέρη νεῖμαί σοι παραινῶ· πολλή τε γὰρ καὶ πολυάνθρωπος οὖσα ἀδύνατός ἐστιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν τῷ ἄστει ἀρχόντων καλῶς διοικεῖσθαι. δεῖ γὰρ τοῖς τε δήμοις τὸν ἄρχοντα ἀεὶ παρεῖναι καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσι τὰ δυνατὰ προστάσσεσθαι.
