Translation

This man was an Alexandrian by birth; raised from childhood amidst cultured discourse, he became a commentator on medical teachings and went to Byzantium where he established a very distinguished school. Relying on the magnitude of his talent and the favor of fortune, he became celebrated for his skill and amassed large amounts of money.

Ἀγάπιος· οὗτος ἦν Ἀλεξανδρεὺς μὲν τὸ γένος· ἐκ παίδων δὲ λόγοις ἐντραφεὶς ἐλευθερίοις καὶ ἰατρικῶν μαθημάτων ἐξηγητὴς γεγονὼς ἀνελθὼν ἐς τὸ Βυζάντιον διατριβήν τε συνεπήξατο μάλα διαπρεπῆ, φύσεώς τε μεγέθει καὶ δεξιότητι τύχης χρησάμενος, ἔνδοξός τε ἐπὶ τῇ τέχνῃ γέγονε καὶ χρήματα μεγάλα συνείλοχεν.
