Socrates by Diogenes Laertius.
Diogenes Laertius wrote the lives of ancient philosophers, but who he was, when and where he was born, is nowhere recorded. It is idle to set bounds to the vanity of authors; but surely the writer of this book in his fondest dreams can scarcely have imagined that he would outlast his predecessors —that he, Diogenes Laertius, would survive, when Hermippus and Sotion had perished, and with them the long procession of respectable authorities whom he punctiliously parades at every turn. (From Hick's introduction)
