λέγεται δὲ καὶ μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν τοῦ Ζήνωνος εἰπεῖν τὸν Ἀντίγονον, οἷον εἴη θέατρον ἀπολωλεκώς· ὅθεν καὶ διὰ Θράσωνος πρεσβευτοῦ παρὰ τῶν Ἀθηναίων ᾔτησεν αὐτῷ τὴν ἐν Κεραμεικῷ ταφήν. ἐρωτηθεὶς δὲ διὰ τί θαυμάζει αὐτόν, ὅτι, ἔφη, πολλῶν καὶ μεγάλων αὐτῷ διδομένων ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ οὐδέποτʼ ἐχαυνώθη οὐδὲ ταπεινὸς ὤφθη. Ἦν δὲ καὶ ζητητικὸς καὶ περὶ πάντων ἀκριβολογούμενος· ὅθεν καὶ ὁ Τίμων ἐν τοῖς Σίλλοις φησὶν οὕτω· καὶ Φοίνισσαν ἴδον λιχνόγραυν σκιερῷ ἐνὶ τύφῳ πάντων ἱμείρουσαν· ὁ δʼ ἔρρει γυργαθὸς αὐτῆς σμικρὸς ἐών· νοῦν δʼ εἶχεν ἐλάσσονα κινδαψοῖο.
