Where it is used

Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 3.54.2: ‘φαμὲν γὰρ πρὸς τὸ ἐρώτημα τὸ βραχύ, εἴ τι Λακεδαιμονίους καὶ τοὺς ξυμμάχους ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τῷδε ἀγαθὸν πεποιήκαμεν, εἰ μὲν ὡς πολεμίους ἐρωτᾶτε, οὐκ ἀδικεῖσθαι ὑμᾶς μὴ εὖ παθόντας, φίλους δὲ νομίζοντας αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτάνειν μᾶλλον τοὺς ἡμῖν ἐπιστρατεύσαντας.

Cassius Dio Cocceianus, Historia Romana 52.7.5: … ἀποδείξῃ, ὥστε ῥᾷον τὰ ἀποβαίνοντα ἀπʼ αὐτῶν τοὺς ἀνθρώπους φέρειν, μήτʼ ἰσχύι δικαστοῦ μήτε χάριτι ἀναγκαστῇ νομίζοντάς τι πεπονθέναι.
