Healthy Precepts from an Anonymous Late Antique Physician

The writer of the Healthy Precepts is not named. Later dating places the Greek between the fourth and sixth centuries CE. Copies present it as a work of Asclepiades and Dioscorides; it also travels in the Hippocratic manuscript stream. Neither heading identifies the hand.

What this site holds is this one short book: twelve passages. It is a late Greek compilation under inherited names, not an autograph of Hippocrates of Cos.

The text survives through that Hippocratic collection. No separate ancient commentary is recorded here.
