Translation
[Used] with an accusative.1 [Meaning] I do my work as a gift. Aristophanes writes: "but, my poor fellow, I do not happen to be a public doctor". 2 For the doctors appointed by popular vote also, [as] public officials, used to provide health-care gratis.3 As if to say, we did not make libation for the community, but for me alone,4 and I will not share it with you without reward.
