ὦ πολλὰ δὴ πολλάκις ἐν νυξί τε καὶ ἡμέραις ἰδίᾳ τε καὶ
δημοσίᾳ κληθεὶς ὑφ᾽ ἡμῶν, Ἀσκληπιὲ δέσποτα, ὡς ἀσμένοις καὶ ὑπερποθοῦσιν ἔδωκας ἡμῖν οἷον ἐκ πελάγους
πολλοῦ καὶ κατηφείας λιμένος τε λαβέσθαι γαληνοῦ καὶ
προσειπεῖν τὴν κοινὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἑστίαν, ἧς ἀτέλεστος μὲν οὐδεὶς δή που τῶν ὑφ᾽ ἡλίῳ, διισχυρίσασθαι
δὲ ἔστιν ὡς Ἑλλήνων γε οὐδείς πω πλείω μέχρι τοῦδε
ἀπέλαυσε. καὶ γὰρ εἰ σφόδρα εἰωθότι ταῦτα ἐμοὶ λέγειν,
ὀκνητέον γε οὐδὲν μᾶλλον. οὔκουν τάς γε προσρήσεις τὰς
ἐφ᾽ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτας ἐλλείπομεν φεύγοντες τὴν συνήθειαν,
ἀλλὰ καὶ κατ᾽ αὐτὸ τοῦτο φυλάττομεν, ὅτι εἰθίσθημεν [p. 64]
