 ===== Diogenes Laertius, Book 6 §74 =====
-<blockquote>Further, when he was sold as a slave, he endured it most nobly. For on a voyage to Aegina he was captured by pirates under the command of Scirpalus,[44] conveyed to Crete and exposed for sale. When the auctioneer asked in what he was proficient, he replied, "In ruling men." Thereupon he pointed to a certain Corinthian with a fine purple border to his robe, the man named **Xeniades** above-mentioned, and said, "Sell me to this man; he needs a master." Thus **Xeniades** came to buy him, and took him to Corinth and set him over his own children and entrusted his whole household to him. And he administered it in all respects in such a manner that **Xeniades** used to go about saying, "A good genius has entered my house."
