- 460 BCE – 395 BCE, Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War 1.1:
- κίνησις γὰρ αὕτη μεγίστη δὴ τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ἐγένετο καὶ μέρει τινὶ τῶν βαρβάρων, ὡς δὲ εἰπεῖν καὶ ἐπὶ πλεῖστον ἀνθρώπων.
- kínēsis gàr haútē megístē dḕ toîs Héllēsin egéneto kaì mérei tinì tôn barbárōn, hōs dè eipeîn kaì epì pleîston anthrṓpōn.
- this movement in fact turned out to be the greatest for the Hellenes, and for a certain part of the barbarian world, and so to speak even for most of mankind.
- κίνησις γὰρ αὕτη μεγίστη δὴ τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ἐγένετο καὶ μέρει τινὶ τῶν βαρβάρων, ὡς δὲ εἰπεῖν καὶ ἐπὶ πλεῖστον ἀνθρώπων.
