Two [Hippocrateses], 5 and 6,[1] physicians, sons of Thymbraeus,[2] also from Cos, and of the same family. Both wrote [contributions] to the same science.
Greek Original:
*(ippokra/tai du/o, e# kai\ #2#, i)atroi/, *qumbrai/ou pai=des, *kw=|oi kai\ au)toi/, tou= ge/nous au)tou=. e)/grayan a)mfo/teroi ei)s th\n au)th\n e)pisth/mhn.
Notes:
[1] In the sequence beginning, here, with iota 565.
[2] Even if *the* Hippocrates (iota 564) was very famous, it sounds bizarre for someone to give his two sons the same name! A "case of Hippocratomania". (Jouanna, p.46) Whether this Thymbraeus did belong to the famous family is not known.
