What is a sentence using the word epitomized?

Answer 1

Usage 1:

Microsoft programming languages are the epitome of The Wrong Thing, meaning that they are woefully inadequate for Getting Things Done, and that they suffer from poor design.

Usage 2 (a quote from a publication about Thallus and Christianity, which can be read in full here http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrie/thallus.html):

...

This leads us to the most important reason for supposing this line to be an insertion by someone other than Africanus (or Syncellus): Phlegon almost certainly said no such thing. Eusebius quotes Phlegon verbatim (the only one to do so), and what Phlegon actually said is telling--the text is attested in Syncellus in the original Greek, but also in the Latin of Jerome, the Syrian epitome, and the Armenian: Jesus Christ..underwent his passion in the 18th year of Tiberius [32 AD]. Also at that time in another Greek compendium we find an event recorded in these words: "the sun was eclipsed, Bithynia was struck by an earthquake, and in the city of Nicaea many buildings fell." All these things happened to occur during the Lord's passion. In fact, Phlegon, too, a distinguished reckoner of Olympiads, wrote more on these events in his 13th book, saying this: "Now, in the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad [32 AD], a great eclipse of the sun occurred at the sixth hour [noon] that excelled every other before it, turning the day into such darkness of night that the stars could be seen in heaven, and the earth moved in Bithynia, toppling many buildings in the city of Nicaea." ...

I believe these are two words and are pronounced differently, but they have the same spelling. This may be incorrect. I was not able to determine with a cursory search.
