Possibly this practice was customary also amongst the Greeks; and on this account Diocles, too, starting from the practices of the Asclepiadae,¹ prescribes that hounds’ flesh should be given to certain patients. And some, as I have said,² even eat human flesh indifferently, a thing which with us is accounted sinful.
