Suicide was naturally the consistent
course dictated by the logical intellect. (Is suicide the ultimate
sincerity? There seems to be no way to refute the logic of suicide but
by the illogic of instinct.)

*What, he said, is not
Evenus a philosopher?
Yes, I suppose so, replied Simmias.
Then Evenus will wish to die, he said, and so will every man who is
worthy of having any part in this study. But he will not lay violent
hands on himself; for that, they say, is wrong.
