REF: Lausberg 830, 835

Greek/Latin: Extremely common in theoretical discussion as well as in rhetorical practice. Cic. de or. 3.53.202 (= Quint. 9.1.28): commoratio una in re permultum movet.

Ancient Chinese: Current, but not nearly as characteristic of ancient Chinese as it is of public Roman discourse. A striking example is XUN on the wickedness of human nature.
