Περὶ τῶν κοινῶν ἐννοιῶν πρὸς τοὺς Στωικοὺς Plutarch
22 DIADUMENUS. They esteem indeed Theognis to have been a man altogether of a base and abject spirit, for saying, as one over-fearful in regard to poverty, which is an indifferent thing: From poverty to fly, into the deep Throw thyself, Cyrnus, or from rocks so steep. Yet they themselves exhort the same thing in prose, and affirm that a man, to free himself from some great disease or exceedingly acute pain, if he have not at hand sword or hemlock, ought to leap into the sea or throw himself headlong from a precipice; neither of which is hurtful, or evil, or incommodious, or makes them who fall into it miserable.
