Forty

William M. Calder III, "Benedict Einarson," Gnomon 51 (1979) 207-208 (at 207):
He told me aged 25 that I must write nothing until 40 for I would not know enough. Sound advice and true but I should be a schoolteacher today had I followed it.
Hugh Lloyd-Jones, "T.C.W. Stinton," Gnomon 59 (1987) 82-83 (at 83):
Stinton published virtually nothing before reaching the age of forty, but after that his learned labour bore fruit in a series of articles which every scholar interested in Greek tragedy must consult.
