die_v fast_o than_o other_o as_o converse_v more_o with_o the_o sick_a in_o this_o case_n i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o honour_n hypocrates_n shall_v gain_v the_o second_o difficulty_n be_v that_o if_o hypocrates_n be_v at_o athens_n at_o that_o time_n he_o must_v be_v bear_v long_o before_o the_o eighti_v olympiad_n which_o be_v the_o time_n of_o his_o birth_n according_a to_o soranus_n by_o which_o account_n he_o must_v be_v but_o thirty_o year_n old_a in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o the_o peloponessian_a war_n and_o of_o the_o eighty_o seven_o olympiad_n the_o time_n of_o that_o plague_n and_o consequent_o he_o can_v not_o have_v son_n old_a enough_o to_o practise_v physics_n and_o a_o daughter_n marry_v to_o a_o physician_n his_o scholar_n to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o matter_n we_o must_v follow_v the_o account_n of_o eusebius_n who_o say_v that_o hypocrates_n flourish_v in_o the_o eighty_o six_o olympiad_n or_o of_o aulus_n gellius_n who_o rank_n he_o with_o sophocles_n euripides_n and_o democritus_n who_o according_a to_o he_o be_v a_o little_o old_a than_o socrates_n all_o author_n agree_v that_o socrates_n be_v bear_v about_o the_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o seven_o olympiad_n democritus_n be_v but_o a_o year_n old_a but_o euripides_n be_v bear_v the_o seventy_o five_o olympiad_n and_o sophocles_n the_o seventy_o three_o olympiad_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o make_v hypocrates_n at_o least_o as_o old_a as_o the_o tragic_a poet_n that_o what_o be_v say_v of_o he_o concern_v the_o plague_n of_o athens_n may_v be_v true_a for_o by_o this_o account_n he_o will_v be_v fifty_o year_n old_a and_o consequent_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a for_o he_o to_o have_v son_n that_o practise_a physic_n but_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o what_o aetius_n and_o galen_n or_o the_o author_n of_o the_o book_n concern_v the_o theriaca_n which_o be_v among_o his_o work_n deliver_v be_v false_a and_o that_o they_o impute_v to_o hypocrates_n what_o

whatever_o may_v happen_v what_o make_v the_o credit_n of_o these_o letter_n still_o more_o to_o be_v suspect_v be_v that_o thessalus_n when_o in_o his_o speech_n he_o upbraid_v the_o athenian_n with_o the_o obligation_n the_o greek_n have_v to_o his_o father_n will_v undoubted_o not_o have_v fail_v to_o have_v turn_v these_o letter_n to_o his_o honour_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o truth_n

of_o achaia_n because_o he_o be_v not_o bear_v till_o about_o a_o hundred_o year_n after_o the_o death_n of_o hypocrates_n much_o less_o can_v we_o think_v that_o the_o dionysius_n he_o have_v speak_v of_o be_v the_o famous_a historian_n of_o halicarnassus_n who_o live_v under_o augustus_n but_o to_o what_o king_n demetrius_n can_v hypocrates_n write_v since_o in_o his_o time_n there_o be_v none_o
