Orations
Citizens of Ephesus, cited as an example of scrupulously respecting deposits held publicly in the temple of Artemis.
And yet you would not say the Ephesians are more prosperous than yourselves.
You know, I suppose, about the Ephesians, that there is much money among them, partly of private men, deposited in the temple of Artemis — not of Ephesians only, but of strangers and of men from wherever — partly of peoples and kings, which all who deposit place there for safety's sake, no one ever having dared to wrong the place, although countless wars have already occurred and the city has often been taken.
And so too the Ephesians, if one should take away the part belonging to the goddess, one might say err less in taking from that money than those who deal thus with the images — not only for the reasons now mentioned, doubtless, that they were going to wrong men in no way related to them, most of whom they did not even know, but also because of the cause arising from the matter.
Adversus Marcionem

Since, writing to the Ephesians that Christ dwells in the inner man, he signified the Lord to be intimated, surely, to the senses.

He charges the Ephesians with love forsaken;
De Pudicitia

" Likewise to the Ephesians:
all dart their javelins against the business of riot and wantonness and lust.
Hellenica
The inhabitants of Ephesus who, with allied contingents, repel Thrasyllus's attack and honor their Syracusan and Selinuntine defenders.
After this Thrasyllus led his army back to the coast, with the intention of sailing to Ephesus.
They also gave to the Syracusans and Selinuntines, who had especially distinguished themselves, the prizes for valour, not only general prizes, but many to particular individuals among them, while upon any one of them who at any time might desire it they conferred the privilege of dwelling in Ephesus tax free;
The defenders of the city sallied forth to meet the attack,—the Ephesians, the allies whom Tissaphernes had brought them, the crews of the original twenty Syracusan ships and of five others which chanced to have arrived there at the time, newly come from Syracuse under the command of Eucles, the son of Hippon, and Heracleides, the son of Aristogenes, and finally, the crews of two Selinuntine ships.
