Oddly, it's one I've never been particularly familiar with. The only remark about that comes to mind from the fadiing memories of youth is, that Xenophon's knack for self-congratulation rivaled that of Julius Caesar's. ;^) Since Xenophon's only triumphs were that he escaped with his life and wrote famous memoirs that survived, I'd say, his knack was greater than Gaius'. :^D
