Quin etiam Pherecydes Syro ex insula oriundus, qui primus versuum nexu repudiato conscribere ausus est passis verbis, soluto locutu, libera oratione, eum quoque Pythagoras magistrum coluit et infandi morbi putredine in serpentium scabiem solutum religiose humavit.
Furthermore, Pherecydes, born on the isle of Syros, who was the first to reject the interconnected lines of verse and dared to write in ordinary speech, in prose style and in unconstricted language, was another teacher whom Pythagoras followed, and whom he buried reverently when a dreadful, purulent disease had reduced his skin to the scaliness of a snake.
