Ὅτι δὲ καὶ Πλάτωνος κατηγοροῦσι τῶν παλαιῶν τινες ὡς πολλὰ πεποιηκότος φιλοσοφίας ἀνάξια, ἀκούσατε Ξενοφῶντος λέγοντος ἐν τῇ πρὸς Αἰσχίνην ἐπιστολῇ· «Αἰγύπτου γὰρ ἠράσθησαν καὶ τῆς Πυθαγόρου τερατώδους σοφίας· ὧν τὸ περιττὸν καὶ μὴ μόνιμον ἐπὶ Σωκράτει διήλεγχεν ἔρως τυραννίδος, καὶ ἀντὶ διαίτης λιτῆς Σικελιῶτις γαστρὸς τράπεζα.»
