Erat inter nobiles medicos ex Macedonia regem secutos Philippus, natione Acarnan, fidus admodum regi; puero comes et custos salutis datus non ut regem modo, sed etiam ut alumnum eximia caritate diligebat.
Among the famous physicians who had followed the king from Macedonia was Philip, a native of Acarnania, most loyal to Alexander; made the kings comrade and the guardian of his health from boyhood, he loved him with extreme affection, not only as his king, but even as a foster-child.
