Quotation unidentifiable in this precise form. Adler tentatively attributes it to Symeon Metaphrastes. Be that as it may, there are fairly close extant parallels in e.g. Socrates,
Historia ecclesiastica 2.28 (Vetranio and Constantius).
The idiom itself is at least as old as
Plato,
Republic 432D.
For the verb cf.
kappa 2663.
