Plato does not believe that AEsculapius troubled himself to provide by regimen to prolong life in a weak and wasted body, useless to his country and to his profession, or to beget healthful and robust children; and does not think this care suitable to the Divine justice and prudence, which is to direct all things to utility.
Platonek ez du uste Eskulapio neketan sartu behar denik biziaren iraunarazteko bere herrirako, ofiziorako eta haur sendo eta azkarren egiteko ezteusa den gorputz higatu eta ergel batengan, eta ez du uste jainkozko zuhurtziari dagokion axola denik, gauza guztiak onuragarritasunera eraman behar baititu.
