BOOK 1- 6

From Diognetus: to avoid empty enthusiasms; to disbelieve all that is talked by miracle-mongers and quacks about incantions, exorcism of demons, and the like; not to hold quail-fights or be excited by such sports; to tolerate plain speaking, to have an affinity for philosophy, and to attend the lectures first of Baccheius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus; to write essays from a young age; to love the camp-bed, the hide blanket, and all else in Greek training.
