Translation

Out of desire a disease sometimes ensues; the very thing from which Antiochos the child [sic] of Seleukos suffered. Then the condition was detected by doctors.¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐξ ἔρωτος· ὅτι ἐξ ἔρωτος ἐνίοτε νόσος ἐπισυμβαίνει· ὅπερ Ἀντίοχος ὁ Σελεύκου παῖς ἔπαθεν. εἶτα ὑπὸ ἰατρῶν ἐφωράθη τὸ πάθος.

Notes (1)

The unglossed headword phrase is evidently extracted, in this instance, from the body of the entry (but is also found elsewhere, from Aeschines 1.134 onwards).
The entry as a whole is a rather poor summary of material presented more fully under sigma 202 (and epsilon 2896) -- itself a summary of Appian, Syrica 308-313. Antiochos (ultimately Antichos I Soter, Macedonian king of Asia 281-261), son of Seleukos I, is said to have fallen in love with and married his father's (second) wife Stratonike. See the note at epsilon 2896.
1In fact one doctor, Erasistratos, according to Appian.
