When the Sidonian sophist [*] was once showing. his powers at Athens, and was voicing his own praise to the effect that he was acquainted with all philosophybut I may as well cite his very words: If Aristotle calls me to the Lyceum, I shall go with him; if Plato calls me to the Academy, I shall come; if Zeno calls, I shall spend my time in the Stoa; if Pythagoras calls, I shall hold my tongue.” [*] Well, Demonax arose in the midst of the audience and said: Ho (addressing him by name), Pythagoras is calling you!”
