Greek Original:Ὑβριστότερος. Ξενοφῶν: οἱ ἀμελεῖσθαι δοκοῦντες στρατιῶται, οἱ μὲν ἀγαθοὶ πολὺ ἀθυμότεροι γίνονται, οἱ δὲ πονηροὶ πολὺ ὑβριστότεροι. καὶ αὖθις: οὐδὲν ὑβριστικώτερον ὄχλου πρὸς ὀργὴν καὶ παρανομίαν ὁρμήσαντος.

Xenophon,
Cyropaedia 5.5.41 (web address 1). It uses the comparative of
ὑβριστός (or
ὕβριστος ); cf the headword itself.
[2] This quotation, of unknown origin (but transmitted via the excerpts made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus), uses the comparative of
ὑβριστικός ; cf.
alpha 915. Bernhardy noted that the passage was imitating
Herodotus 3.81.1 (web address 2); Adler tentatively ascribes it to
Aelian.
