Translation: Of Aigina [
Myth,
Place]. He came to
Athens on a sightseeing trip but heard
Diogenes [lecturing] and became a philosopher. His father[1] sent his brother[2] out after him, who himself had the same experience; and when their father returned to look for the pair of them, he also became a philosopher. Another associate of his was Phokion the Good.[3] After his death [
Diogenes] was buried in Corinth, and there is a dog on his gravestone. And he was honoured in
Sinope with a statue and an epigram [which read]: "time makes even gold grow old; but your renown,
Diogenes, not all eternity will destroy. For you alone showed mortals the glory of a self-sufficient life and the easiest path of existence."[4]

Diogenes the Cynic; cf. Gow and Page vol. I (120-121) and vol. II (141-142). Whereas the Suda here reads
