Book XVI, 272: On a Picture of the Physician Iamblichus
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
This is Iamblichus, sweetest among men, who reached old age without knowing the converse of Aphrodite; but practising medicine and teaching his skill to others, he did not hold out his hand to receive even righteous gain.
This translation is printed as prose in its source edition.
