Again, on seeing a soothsayer make public forecasts for money, he said: 1 dont see on what ground you claim the fee: if you think you can change destiny in any way, you ask too little, however much you ask; but if everything is to turn out as Heaven has ordained, what good is your soothsaying?”

When a Roman ofticer, well-developed physically, gave him an exhibition of sword-practice on a post, and asked: What did you think of my swordsmanship, Demonax?”’ he said: Fine, if you have a wooden adversary!”
