These saith Laertius, were his writings, the great number where∣of Timon derides, calling him an ingenious Trifler.

There is also among the Socratick Epistles one under his name to this effect.

Antisthenes to Aristippus.

IT is not the part of a Philosopher to live with Tyrants, and to wast time at Sicilian Feasts, but rather to be content with a little in his own Country; but you esteem it the greatest excellence of a Vertuous per∣son, to be able to acquire much wealth, and to have powerfull friends. Riches are not good; neither if they were in themselves good, are they such, being thus obtained, nor can a multitude of unlearned persons, espe∣cially Tyrants, be true friends. Wherefore I would co••nsell you to leave Syracuse and Sicily; but if, as some report, you are in love with Plea∣sure, and aim at such things, as beseem not wise persons, go to Anticyra and cure your self by drinking Hellebore, for that is much better for you then the Wine of Dionysius; this causeth madnesse, that asswageth it. So that as health and discretion differ from sicknesse and ••olly, so

much shall you be better then you are in these things which you now enjoy Farewell.

The Answer to this Epistle, see in the life of Aristippus.
