Apology
The written works of Anaxagoras available for purchase in Athens, containing the cosmological doctrines attributed to Socrates by Meletus.
Do you think you are accusing Anaxagoras, my dear Meletus, and do you so despise these gentlemen and think they are so unversed in letters as not to know, that the books of Anaxagoras the Clazomenian are full of such utterances?
Phaedo
The written work attributed to Anaxagoras that Socrates heard read aloud and later read himself, containing the doctrine that mind orders all things.
Then one day I heard a man reading from a book, as he said, by Anaxagoras, that it is the mind that arranges and causes all things.
I prized my hopes very highly, and I seized the books very eagerly and read them as fast as I could, that I might know as fast as I could about the best and the worst.
