Lose one's case: P. ἀποτυγχάνειν τοῦ ἀγῶνος (Dem. 1175).

Aphobus having already lost his case against me: P. ὀφλόντος μοι τὴν δίκην Ἀφόβου (Dem. 866).

Thus stands my case: P. and V. οὕτως ἔχει μοι.

I myself am in the same case as the majority: P. αὐτὸς ὅπερ οἱ πολλοὶ πέπονθα (Plat., Meno. 95^C).

As is generally the case: P. οἷα ... φιλεῖ γίγνεσθαι (Thuc. 7, 79).

As is generally the case with large armies: P. ὅπερ φιλεῖ μεγάλα στρατόπεδα (Thuc. 4, 125).
