From ``History of the Peloponnesian War'' (freely translated and arranged by the editors): ``In this history I have set down a number of speeches which were delivered at various times just before and during the campaign. I have found it difficult to remember the precise words used in those speeches which I listened to myself, and my various informants have experienced the same difficulty.'' As you can see, Thucydides has been plagiarizing our redaction technique for over two thousand years. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1010.68829].
