Theophrastus, Fragmenta varia

Ὁ Θ. ἐν τοῖς ἠθικοῖς διαπορήσας, εἰ πρὸς τὰς τύχας τρέπεται τὰ ἤθη καὶ κινούμενα τοῖς παθέσι τῶν σωμάτων ἐξίσταται τῆς ἀρετῆς, ἱστόρηκεν ὅτι νοσῶν ὁ Περικλῆς ἐπισκοπουμένῳ τινὶ τῶν φίλων δείξειε περίαπτον ὑπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν τῷ τραχήλῳ περιηρτημένον, ὡς σφόδρα κακῶς ἔχων ὁπότε καὶ ταύτην ὑπομένοι τὴν ἀβελτηρίαν.

Theophrastus, in his Ethics, having raised the question whether characters turn with fortunes and, moved by the sufferings of bodies, depart from virtue, has recorded that Pericles, when he was ill, showed one of his friends who came to visit him an amulet that the women had hung around his neck, as if to say that he was in a very bad way indeed, when he would put up even with this foolishness.
