Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 1.36.1: … ῦ ἰσχὺν ἔχον τοὺς ἐναντίους μᾶλλον φοβῆσον, τὸ δὲ θαρσοῦν μὴ δεξαμένου ἀσθενὲς ὂν πρὸς ἰσχύοντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἀδεέστερον ἐσόμενον, καὶ ἅμα οὐ περὶ τῆς Κερκύρας νῦν τὸ πλέον ἢ καὶ τῶν Ἀθηνῶν βουλευόμενος, καὶ οὐ τὰ κράτιστα αὐταῖς …

Procopius, De Bellis 8.15.14: Ἔλεγον δὲ ὅτι δὴ Λαζικῆς βεβαιότατα πρὸς Περσῶν ἀρχομένης αἱ ξυνθῆκαι αὗται γεγόνασιν, ὡς μή τις πενταετὲς αὐτοὺς ἐνοχλήσῃ, ἀλλ’ ἀδεέστερόν τε καὶ ἀπονώτερον γῆς τῆς Κολχίδος τὰ κάλλιστα πάντα τοῦτον τὸν χρόνον ἐνοικεῖν δύνωνται.
