Athenis quidam ultimae senectutis, cum spectatum ludos in theatrum uenisset, eumque nemo e ciuibus sessum reciperet, ad Lacedaemoniorum legatos forte peruenit. qui hominis aetate moti canos eius et annos adsurgendi officio uenerati sunt sedemque ei inter ipsos honoratissimo loco dederunt. quod ubi fieri populus aspexit, maximo plausu alienae urbis uerecundiam conprobauit. ferunt tunc unum e Lacedaemoniis dixisse 'ergo Athenienses quid sit rectum sciunt, sed id facere neglegunt'.
