| θαυμάζω οὖν ὅπως ποτὲ ἐπείσθησαν Ἀθηναῖοι Σωκράτην περὶ θεοὺς μὴ σωφρονεῖν, τὸν ἀσεβὲς μὲν οὐδέν ποτε περὶ τοὺς θεοὺς οὔτ’ εἰπόντα οὔτε πράξαντα, τοιαῦτα δὲ καὶ λέγοντα καὶ πράττοντα περὶ θεῶν οἷά τις ἂν καὶ λέγων καὶ πράττων εἴη τε καὶ νομίζοιτο εὐσεβέστατος. |
| So I am amazed how the Athenians could once have been convinced that Socrates was wrong about the gods, when he neither said or did anything disrespectful to the gods, and rather spoke and acted about the gods like someone who would both be considered and would actually be the most reverential towards the gods. |
| Xenophon Memorabilia 1.1.20 |
