Imperfect Six
3 prose examples
Plato Phaedo 58a καὶ ἐθαυμάζομεν γε
Thucydides uses Imperfect where others might use Aorist
οἱ Κερκυραῖοι ἔπεμπον τὴν ὠφελίαν ἄσμενοι
The Corcyreans sent the assistance gladly.
Xenophon Anabasis 1.3.2.
καὶ πρῶτον μὲν ἐδάκρυε πολὺν χρόνον ἑστώς.
Οἱ δὲ ὁρῶντες ἐθάυμαζον καὶ ἐσιώπων.
And at first he wept for a long time while standing and the others watching were amazed and silent.
