Quod ego gratulor nescire istos legisse me Theophrasti quoque     et Nicandri , ceterum me etiam veneficii reum postularent; at quidem hoc negotium ex lectione et aemulatione Aristoteli nactus sum, nonnihil et Platone meo adhortante, qui ait eum, qui ista vestiget,     .
Well, its lucky for me they do not know that my reading also includes Theophrastus On animals that bite and stun and Nicanders On Remedies for poisonous bites: otherwise they would accuse me of being a poisoner too. But in fact I began this pursuit from my reading of Aristotle and my desire to surpass him; my master Plato gave me no slight encouragement too, when he says that one who examines such matters spends his life in a game he will not regret.
