Sophocles,
Electra 182-4 (web address 1), with a scholion thereto -- here abbreviated so much as to obscure the sense. According to the scholion, the adjective is used
a)po\ koinou= (cf.
iota 215), in different senses of Orestes and Hades: of Orestes not returning, and of Hades not pursuing enemies. (For zeugma in this sense see generally LSJ s.v., II: "a figure of speech, wherein two subjects are used jointly with the same predicate, which strictly belongs only to one".)
