5. Ἱπποκράτης ἰητρὸς Ὑστάνει Ἑλλησπόντου ὑπάρχῳ χαίρειν. Πρὸς τὴν ἐπιστολὴν, ἣν ἔπεμψας φάμενος παρὰ βασιλέως ἀφῖχθαι, πέμπε βασιλεῖ ἃ λέγω γράφων ὅτι τάχος, ὅτι καὶ προσφορῇ καὶ ἐσθῆτι καὶ οἰκήσει καὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἐς βίον ἀρκεούσῃ οὐσίῃ χρεόμεθα. Περσέων δὲ ὄλβου οὔ μοι θέμις ἐπαύρασθαι, οὐδὲ βαρβάρους ἄνδρας νούσων παύειν, ἐχθροὺς ὑπάρχοντας Ἑλλήνων. Ἔῤῥωσο.
