Διογένης ὁ Σινωπεύς, ὅτε ἔφυγεν ἐκ Σινώπης, ἀφικόμενος τὴν Ἑλλάδα διῆγε ποτὲ μὲν ἐν Κορίνθῳ, ποτὲ δὲ Ἀθήνησιν. ἔφη δὲ μιμεῖσθαι τοῦ Περσῶν βασιλέως τὴν δίαιταν· καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖνος τοῦ μὲν χειμῶνος ἐν Βαβυλῶνι καὶ Σούσοις, ἐνίοτε δὲ ἐν Βάκτροις διῆγεν, ἐν τοῖς εὐδιεινοτάτοις τῆς Ἀσίας, τοῦ δὲ θέρους ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις τῆς Μηδικῆς, ὅπου ψυχρότατος ὁ ἀὴρ ἀεί ποτέ ἐστι καὶ τῷ περὶ Βαβυλῶνα χειμῶνι τὸ θέρος ὅμοιον.
