From
Diognetus, not to busy myself about trifling things, and not to give
credit to what was said by miracle-workers and jugglers
about incantations and the driving away of daemons and such things;
and not to breed quails for fighting, nor to give myself up
passionately to such things; and to endure freedom of speech;
and to have become intimate with philosophy; and to have been a
hearer, first of Bacchius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus; and to
have written dialogues in my youth; and to have desired a plank bed
and skin,
and whatever else of the kind belongs to the Grecian discipline.
