<blockquote>333.— ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM
On Diogenes
The wallet and cloak and the barley-dough thickened with water, the staff planted before his feet,
and the earthenware cup, are estimated by the wise
Dog as sufficient for the needs of life, and even in
these there was something superfluous; for, seeing
the countryman drinking from the hollow of his
hand, he said, “Why, thou earthen cup, did I burden
myself with thee to no purpose”.
334. By The Same
On the Stone
Even brass is aged by time, but not all the ages,
Diogenes, shall destroy thy fame, since thou alone
didst show to mortals the rule of self-sufficiency and
the easiest path of life.
