This is not the original source for the quotation, however; one of the Christian 'church fathers,' Clement of Alexandria, writing around 200 CE on the subject of plagiarism, writes this:
Theopompus [c. 350 BCE] having written:-"Twice children are old men in very truth; "
And before him Sophocles [c. 450 BCE] in Peleus:- "Peleus, the son of Aeacus, I, sole housekeeper,
Guide, old as he is now, and train again, For the aged man is once again a child,"-
Antipho the orator [c. 430 BCE] says, "For the nursing of the old is like the nursing of children." Also the philosopher Plato [c. 400 BCE] says, "The old man then, as seems, will be twice a child.
(from the Stromata, or Miscellanies, Book VI, Chapter II)
