4. The Physiognomist, attributed many vices to Socrates in an assembly of his disciples, who laughed at him and at his art in consequence; but Socrates admitted the truth of his remarks, and said that such were his natural propensities, but that they had been overcome by philosophy. (Cic. Tusc. 4.37, de Fato, 5; Alex. Aphrodis. de Fato, 100.6, p. 481, ed. Orelli.)
