10. Φευκτέη δὲ καὶ θρύψις ἐπικρατίδων διὰ προσκύρησιν ἀκέσιος,
ὀδμή τε περίεργος· διὰ γὰρ ἱκανὴν ἀξυνηθείην διαβολὴν κέκτησαι,
διὰ δὲ τὴν ὀλίγην, εὐσχημοσύνην· ἐν γὰρ μέρει πόνος ὀλίγος, ἐν
πᾶσι ἱκανός. Εὐχαριστίην δὲ οὐ περιαιρέω· ἀξίη γὰρ ἰητρικῆς
προστασίης.

[10] You must also avoid adopting, in order to gain a patient,¹ luxurious headgear and elaborate perfume. For excess of strangeness will win you ill-repute, but a little will be considered in good taste, just as pain in one part is a trifle, while in every part it is serious. Yet I do not forbid your trying to please, for it is not unworthy of a physician’s dignity.
