    • 630 BCE – 570 BCE, Sappho, Fragments 2.14:
      κὰδ δέ μ᾿ ἴδρως κακχέεται, τρόμος δὲ παῖσαν ἄγρει, χλωροτέρα δὲ ποίας ἔμμι
      kàd dé m’ ídrōs kakkhéetai, trómos dè paîsan ágrei, khlōrotéra dè poías émmi

Usage notes

  • The imperative singular ἄγρει (ágrei) and plural ἀγρεῖτε (agreîte) are the only forms attested in Homer.
  • The Elean form ἐξαγρέων (exagréōn), presumably from ἐξαγρέω (exagréō), indirectly attests for the presence of this term in Elean Greek.
