Glycon (A mad world)

Reading "Europe: A History" by Norman Davies 
I came across a Greek quotation (p.115) 
which in a translation by Peter Jay says: -Everything's laughter, everything dust, everything nothing. 
Out of unreason comes everything that exists.-I find this quite an attractive philosophy. 
I may give up rationalism in favour of this. 
A sort of paradoxicalism?-Apparently these two lines of verse 
are all that is known of Glycon.-http://catalog.perseus.org/catalog/Mtlg0194Glyco-Anyone know any more?
