  • ἡνίκα γὰρ Ἡρακλείδην ἐξέβαλεσ, οὔτε Συρακοσίοισ δοκοῦν δικαίωσ οὔτ’ ἐμοί, διότι μετὰ Θεοδότου καὶ Εὐρυβίου συνεδεήθην σου μὴ ποιεῖν ταῦτα, ταύτην λαβὼν ὡσ ἱκανὴν πρόφασιν, εἶπεσ ὅτι καὶ πάλαι σοι δῆλοσ εἰήν σοῦ μὲν οὐδὲν φροντίζων, Δίωνοσ δὲ καὶ τῶν Δίωνοσ φίλων καὶ οἰκείων, καὶ ἐπειδὴ νῦν Θεοδότησ καὶ Ἡρακλείδησ ἐν διαβολαῖσ εἰε͂ν, οἰκεῖοι Δίωνοσ ὄντεσ, πᾶν μηχανῴμην ὅπωσ οὗτοι μὴ δώσουσιν δίκην. (Plato, Epistles, Letter 3 24:1)
