Philip’s Letter
Divine witnesses invoked by Philip in his closing warning.
As you were the aggressors and, thanks to my forbearance, are making still further attacks on my interests and doing me all the harm in your power, I shall defend myself, with justice on my side, and, calling the gods to witness, I shall bring my dispute with you to an issue.
Cyropaedia
The gods invoked collectively to witness the covenant between Cyrus and the Persians.
And as they then covenanted, with the gods as their witnesses, so the Persians and their king still continue to this day to act toward one another.
And that this may not befall you, but the good, it seems best to me for you to perform a common sacrifice and to make a covenant, first calling the gods to witness.
