Note 32 — Chapter III · HISTORY OF THE STOICS UNTIL THE END OF THE SECOND CENTURY B.C.
Oswald J. (Oswald Joseph) Reichel translation
It is recorded (Diog. 179) that he was brought up in early life as a racer, which is an exceedingly suspicious statement, (confer D, 168); and that his paternal property was confiscated (Hecato in Diog. 181). Subsequently, his domestic establishment was scanty, consisting of one old servant (Diog. 185; 181; 183); but whether this was the result of Stoicism or of poverty is not known. The Floril. Monac. (in Stob. Floril. ed. Mein. iv. 289) 262 calls him λιτὸς, ἔχων χρήματα πολλά. ↑
