ἔστι καὶ ἡμέτερον οὕτως ἔχον· καὶ πῶς εἰ μὴ Φοῖβος ἀνʼ Ἑλλάδα φῦσε Πλάτωνα, ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων γράμμασιν ἠκέσατο; καὶ γὰρ ὁ τοῦδε γεγὼς Ἀσκληπιός ἐστιν ἰητὴρ σώματος, ὡς ψυχῆς ἀθανάτοιο Πλάτων. καὶ ἄλλο, ὡς ἐτελεύτα· Φοῖβος ἔφυσε βροτοῖς Ἀσκληπιὸν ἠδὲ Πλάτωνα, τὸν μὲν ἵνα ψυχήν, τὸν δʼ ἵνα σῶμα σάοι. δαισάμενος δὲ γάμον πόλιν ἤλυθεν, ἣν ποθʼ ἑαυτῷ ἔκτισε καὶ δαπέδῳ Ζηνὸς ἐνιδρύσατο. καὶ τὰ μὲν ἐπιγράμματα ταῦτα.
