Summary/Abstract: The collocation προῦπτος κίνδυνος (and its variant forms προῦπτον ὄλεθρον, προῦπτον κακόν) is seen to be a part of an atticist’s, especially an historian’s, vocabulary since Thucydides to the end of Late Antiquity. Later on its use is rare, practically limited to Anna Comnena, which in turn implies a change in attitude to the acquisition of the literary language.
