Dear All,

I was in one of those v.embarrassing situations last night where one's
ignorance is made manifest... I thought you might be able to help.

We are looking for a Greek quotation that translates along the lines of:
 "I am a citizen neither of Athens nor of Greece but of the world."

-- an oft expressed sentiment, but who was first?
