τύραννος ἐνόσει, ὑποπτεύσας τὸν ἴδιον ἰατρὸν μετεκαλέσατο ξένον, ἀνελθὼν δέδωκε φάρμακον ὡς ἀλεξιφάρμακον, καὶ κατελθὼν ἔφη "τεθνήξεται"· τέθνηκε, καὶ ἀμφισβητοῦσι περὶ τῆς δωρεᾶς.
Translation
A tyrant fell ill. Suspicious of his personal doctor, he sent for a new doctor. The doctor came and gave him medicine as an antidote; while leaving, he said: “he will die.” The tyrant died, and the doctors are in dispute about the reward.
