Σὺ μὲν Μακεδονίας βασιλεύεις, ἐγὼ δὲ ἰατρικῆς καὶ σὺ μὲν ὑγιαίνοντας δύνασαι, ὅταν βουληθῇς, ἀπολ· λύναι, ἐγὼ δὲ τοὺς νοσοῦντας σώζειν καὶ τοὺς εὐρώ- στους ἀνόσους, οἳ ἂν ἐμοὶ πείθωνται, παρέχειν μέχρι γήρως ζῶντας. τοιγαροῦν σὲ μὲν Μακεδόνες δορυ- φοροῦσιν, ἐμὲ δὲ καὶ οἱ θεοὶ μέλλοντες ἔσεσθαι· Ζεὐς ΝΤΤΙΥΙΕγ γὰρ ἐγὼ αὐτοῖς βίον παρέχω.
