λάθε βιώσας is quoted by Theodoret in Ep. lxii. as a saying of “one of the men once called wise.”  It is attributed to Epicurus.  Horace imitates it in Ep. I. xvii. 10:  “Nec vixit male qui natus moriensque fefellit.”  So Ovid, Tristia III. iv. 25:  “crede mihi; bene qui latuit, bene vixit,” and Eurip., Iph. in Aul. 17: Ζηλῶ σὲ, γέρον, Ζηλῶ δ᾽ ἀνδρῶν ὃς ἀκινδυνον Βίον ἐξεπέρασ᾽ ἀγνὼς ἀκλεής. Plutarch has an essay on the question, εἰ καλῶς ἐ& 176·ρηται τὸ λάθε βιώσας.
