Diogenes Laertius, Vitae philosophorum 2.3.12: … ίδου φησὶν εἰσαχθῆναι τὴν δίκην, ἀντιπολιτευομένου τῷ Περικλεῖ· καὶ οὐ μόνον ἀσεβείας, ἀλλὰ καὶ μηδισμοῦ· καὶ ἀπόντα καταδικασθῆναι θανάτῳ.

Aesop, Fables 105: … ον· ὕστερον δὲ πειρώμενα ἐθαύμαζε καὶ τῷ ὄντι σοφωτάτην ἐνόμιζεν. Καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, ἐπὰν φανῇ, πρόσεισιν ὡς πρὸς ἅπόντα ἐπισταμένην· ἡ δὲ ξυμβουλεύει μὲν οὐδὲν ἔτι αὐτοῖς, ὀδύρεται δὲ μόνον.
