Death & Dying

Book VII, 111

by Diogenes Laertius 3rd century AD (Paton’s date)

Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)

Death & Dying

This Strato to whom Lampsacus gave birth was a thin man (I don’t mind if you don’t attend. I assert this at least). He ever fought with disease and died without feeling it.
