Alluding to the lame Cyprian Rufinus, who was a Peripatetic and spent much time in the Lyceum walks, What presumption,’ he exclaimed, for a cripple to call himself a Walking Philosopher!’

Epictetus once urged him, with a touch of reproof, to take a wife and raise a familyfor it beseemed a philosopher to leave some one to represent him after the flesh. But he received the home thrust: Very well, Epictetus; give me one of your daughters.’
