Book XVI, 274: On Oribasius the Physician
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
This is the great physician of the Emperor Julian, divine Oribasius, right worthy of this pious gift; for he had a wise mind like a bee, gathering from this place and that the flowers of former physicians.
