Ὁ δὲ κῆρυξ ἀφικόμενος εὗρε τοὺς ἄνδρας διεφθαρμένους, the herald, when he came, found the men already put to death. THUC. ii. 6. Ἢν γὰρ εὑρεθῇ λέγων σοὶ ταὔτ̓, ἔγωγ᾽ ἂν ἐκπεφευγοίην πάθος, if he shall be found to tell the same story as you, etc. SOPH. O.T. 839. Καταλαμβάνουσι τὴν Ποτίδαιαν καὶ τἄλλα ἀφεστηκότα, “they find Potidaea and the other towns in revolt.” THUC. i. 59. Κακός γ᾽ ὢν ἐς φίλους ἁλίσκεται, “he is detected in baseness.” EUR. Med. 84.
