ἰητῆρα νόσων Ἀσκληπιὸν ἄρχομ' ἀείδειν,
υἱὸν Ἀπόλλωνος, τὸν ἐγείνατο δῖα Κορωνὶς
Δωτίῳ ἐν πεδίῳ, κούρη Φλεγύου βασιλῆος,
χάρμα μέγ' ἀνθρώποισι, κακῶν θελκτῆρ' ὀδυνάων.
καὶ σὺ μὲν οὕτω χαῖρε, ἄναξ: λίτομαι δέ σ' ἀοιδῇ.
Of the healer of sicknesses, Asclepius, I begin to sing,
the son of Apollo, whom divine Koronis bore
in the Dotian plane, daughter of King Phlegyas,
a joy among men, of evil pains the enchanter.
And so I hail you, lord: I entreat you with song.
