Translation: Of Syracuse,[1] a doctor. This man used to take no fee for his treatment; for what he treated was the sacred disease,[2] and he insisted that those being treated agree [to become] his slaves. Himself he called Zeus, and to each of those who had been cured by him he gave the name of [other] gods: Hermes in one case, Apollo in another.
