 <blockquote>Monimus of Syracuse was a pupil of **Diogenes**; and, according to Sosicrates, he was in the service of a certain Corinthian banker, to whom Xeniades, the purchaser of **Diogenes**, made frequent visits, and by the account which he gave of his goodness in word and deed, excited in Monimus a passionate admiration of **Diogenes**. For he forthwith pretended to be mad and proceeded to fling away the small change and all the money on the banker's table, until at length his master dismissed him; and he then straightway devoted himself to Diogenes. He often followed Crates the Cynic as well, and embraced the like pursuits; whereupon his master, seeing him do this, was all the more persuaded that he was mad.
