Adler number: epsilon,2466

Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Amonst Persians there were curators, as Xenophon says, who used to tend those who had been wounded in war.

Notes:
Nothing extant in Xenophon appears to bear on this. (Cyropaedia 8.1.9 comes closest but not, as transmitted, close enough. See also 3.2.12.)
For identical terminology (in Dio) concerning Trajan, see under lambda 87.
