Alexander uero cognomen inuicti adsecutus continentiam Diogenis cynici uincere non potuit. ad quem cum in sole sedentem accessisset hortareturque ut, si qua praestari sibi uellet, indicaret, quemadmodum erat in crepidine conlocatus, sordidae appellationis, sed robustae uir praestantiae, 'mox' inquit 'de ceteris, interim uelim a sole mihi non obstes'. quibus uerbis illa nimirum inhaesit sententia: Alexander Diogenen gradu suo diuitiis pellere temptat, celerius Dareum armis. Idem Syracusis, cum holera ei lauanti Aristippus dixisset, si 'Dionysium adulari uelles, ista non esses', 'immo', inquit 'si tu ista esse uelles, non adularere Dionysium'.
