Jona it is mentioned in a number of places. Here is what I have found so far:
Plutarch's Moralia, 455E; Plutarch's Life of Lycurgus, chap. xxviii (57A); Life of Demetrius, chap. i (889A); Plato, Laws, 816E; Clement of Alexandria, Paedagogus, III chap. viii ad init. (41.5); Diogenes Laertius, I.103.

If you don't have Kennell's "The Gymnasium of virtue", you can read large sections of it on Google books now: http://books.google.com/books?id=u_eAP7 ... &q&f=false
