Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 1.70.2: οἱ μέν γε νεωτεροποιοὶ καὶ ἐπινοῆσαι ὀξεῖς καὶ ἐπιτελέσαι ἔργῳ ἃ ἂν γνῶσιν· ὑμεῖς δὲ τὰ ὑπάρχοντά τε σῴζειν καὶ ἐπιγνῶναι μηδὲν καὶ ἔργῳ οὐδὲ τἀναγκαῖα ἐξικέσθαι.

Cassius Dio Cocceianus, Historia Romana 48.3.4: … υπτον καὶ ἑαυτοὺς ἐν φυλακῇ ἐποιοῦντο, οἱ δὲ ὅπῃ ποτὲ ἀποδράσοιντο διεσκόπουν. ἄλλοι, καὶ οἵ γε πλείους, οὐδὲ ἐπινοῆσαί τι ὑπὸ τοῦ σφοδροῦ δέους δυνάμενοι, παρεσκευάζοντο ὡς καὶ πάντως ἀπολούμενοι.
