ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ οὕτω κακῶς διετέθην, ὥσθʼ ὅσοι περ εἰσῆλθον τῶν φίλων, ἔφασαν δεδιέναι, μὴ κἀγὼ προσαπόλωμαι, καὶ συνεβούλευόν μοι φυλάττεσθαι, λέγοντες ὡς οἱ πλεῖστοι τῶν θεραπευσάντων ταύτην τὴν νόσον αὐτοὶ προσδιεφθάρησαν. πρὸς οὓς ἐγὼ τοιαῦτʼ ἀπεκρινάμην ὅτι πολὺ ἂν θᾶττον ἑλοίμην ἀποθανεῖν ἢ ʼκεῖνον περιιδεῖν διʼ ἔνδειαν τοῦ θεραπεύσοντος πρὸ μοίρας τελευτήσαντα.
