Themistocles, the son of Neocles, when a
certain wealthy person1 approached him to find out where he could find a wealthy son-in-law, advised
him not to seek for money which lacked a man, but rather a man who was lacking in money. And
when the inquirer agreed with this advice, Themistocles counselled him to marry his daughter to
Cimon. This was the reason, therefore, for Cimon becoming a wealthy man, and he was released
from prison, and calling to account the magistrates who had shut him up he secured their
condemnation.Const. Exc. 4, p. 301.[The preceding Book, which is the tenth of our
narrative, closed with the events of the year2 just before the crossing of Xerxes into Europe and the formal deliberations which the general assembly
of the Greeks held in Corinth on the alliance
between Gelon and the Greeks.]Diod. Sic. 11.1.1
