Where it is used

Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 3.10.6: καὶ πιστοὺς οὐκέτι εἴχομεν ἡγεμόνας Ἀθηναίους, παραδείγμασι τοῖς προγιγνομένοις χρώμενοι· οὐ γὰρ εἰκὸς ἦν αὐτοὺς οὓς μὲν μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἐνσπόνδους ἐποιήσαντο καταστρέψασθαι, τοὺς δὲ ὑπολοίπους, εἴ ποτε ἄρα ἐδυνήθησαν, μὴ δρᾶσαι τοῦτο.

Plutarch, Agis and Cleomenes Agis.12.4: ἀπέθανε δὲ οὐδεὶς ὑπʼ αὐτῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ Λεωνίδαν εἷς Τεγέαν ὑπεξιόντα βουληθέντος διαφθεῖραι τοῦ Ἀγησιλάου, καὶ πέμψαντος ἐπʼ αὐτὸν εἷς τὴν ὁδὸν ἄνδρας, πυθόμενος ὁ Ἆγις ἑτέρους ἀπέστειλε πιστούς, οἳ τὸν Λεωνίδαν περισχόντες ἀσφαλῶς εἷς Τεγέαν κατέστησαν.
