I swear by Apollo - the physician, by Asclepius, Hygeia and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, and the goddesses, to keep according to my ability the following Oath.
I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients according to my ability and never do harm to anyone. I will not prescribe a deadly drug, nor give advice which may cause him death. In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, I will keep myself far from all intentional ill-doing, and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profes- sion or outside of my profession, which must not be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practise my art, respected by all men and in all times, but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
