ὅτε ἧκεν ἡ ναῦς ἡ ἐκ Δήλου, καὶ ἔδει Σωκράτην ἀποθνήσκειν, ἀφίκετο ἐς τὸ δεσμωτήριον Ἀπολλόδωρος ὁ τοῦ Σωκράτους ἑταῖρος, χιτῶνά τε αὐτῷ φέρων ἐρίων πολυτελῆ καὶ εὐήτριον καὶ ἱμάτιον τοιοῦτο. [p. 8] καὶ ἠξίου ἐνδύντα αὐτὸν τὸν χιτῶνα καὶ θοιμάτιον περιβαλόμενον εἶτα οὕτω πιεῖν τὸ φάρμακον. ἔλεγε γὰρ αὐτῷ καλῶν ἐνταφίων μὴ ἀμοιρήσειν, εἰ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἀποθάνοι: καὶ γὰρ οὖν καὶ προκείσεσθαι σὺν τῷ κόσμῳ τὸν νεκρὸν οὐ πάνυ τι ἀδόξως. ταῦτα τὸν Σωκράτην ὁ Ἀπολλόδωρος: ὃ δὲ οὐκ ἠνέσχετο, ἀλλ᾽ ἔφη πρὸς τοὺς ἀμφὶ τὸν Κρίτωνα καὶ Σιμμίαν καὶ Φαίδωνα ῾καὶ πῶς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν καλῶς Ἀπολλόδωρος οὑτοσὶ δοξάζει, εἴ γε πεπίστευκεν ὅτι μετὰ τὴν ἐξ Ἀθηναίων φιλοτησίαν ἔτι ὄψεται Σωκράτην; εἰ γὰρ οἴεται τὸν ὀλίγῳ ὕστερον ἐρριμμένον ἐν ποσὶ καὶ κεισόμενόν γε εἶναι ἐμέ, δῆλός ἐστί με οὐκ εἰδώς.᾿
