Crates of Thebes | Philostratus, Life of Apollonius 1.13

<blockquote>So when all was well between him [Apollonius] and his brother, he at once turned his attention to his other relatives, and conciliated such of them as were in want by bestowing on them the rest of his property, leaving only a trifle to himself; for he said that Anaxagoras of Clazomenae kept his philosophy for cattle rather than for men when he abandoned his fields to flocks and goats, and that Crates of Thebes, when he threw his money into the sea benefited neither man nor beast.
Flavius Philostratus: The Life of Apollonius Translated by F.C. Conybeare
