Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 2.63.2: ἧς οὐδ’ ἐκστῆναι ἔτι ὑμῖν ἔστιν, εἴ τις καὶ τόδε ἐν τῷ παρόντι δεδιὼς ἀπραγμοσύνῃ ἀνδραγαθίζεται· ὡς τυραννίδα γὰρ ἤδη ἔχετε αὐτήν, ἣν λαβεῖν μὲν ἄδικον δοκεῖ εἶναι, ἀφεῖναι δὲ ἐπικίνδυνον.

Xenophon, Anabasis 7.7.54: γελάσας ὁ Ξενοφῶν εἶπεν· ἢν οὖν μὴ ἐξικνῆται ταῦτʼ εἰς τὸν μισθόν, τίνος τάλαντον φήσω ἔχειν; ἆρʼ οὐκ, ἐπειδὴ καὶ ἐπικίνδυνόν μοί ἐστιν, ἀπιόντα γε ἄμεινον φυλάττεσθαι πέτρους; ἤκουες δὲ τὰς ἀπειλάς. τότε μὲν δὴ αὐτοῦ ἔμεινε.
