[2] φθάσασα δὲ τὴν Ῥωμαίων ἄφιξιν ἡ τοῦ δαιμονίου πρόνοια τὸν ἡγεμόνα τῆς φρουρᾶς Δέκιον ἀντὶ τῶν ἀνοσίων βουλευμάτων εἰς τὰ κυριώτατα τοῦ ζῆν ἐτιμωρήσατο μέρη, νόσον εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐμβαλοῦσα δεινὰς περιωδυνίας φέρουσαν: ἣν ἰάσασθαι προθυμούμενος ἅνθρωπος ἐκ Μεσσήνης ἰατρὸν μεταπέμπεται, Δεξικράτην ὄνομα, πυνθανόμενος ἄριστον εἶναι τῶν κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἡλικίαν ἰατρῶν, ἀγνοῶν δὲ ὅτι Ῥηγῖνος ἦν τὸ γένος: ὃς ἀφικόμενος εἰς τὸ Ῥήγιον ἐναλείφει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καυστικῷ φαρμάκῳ καὶ διακελευσάμενος ἀνέχεσθαι τὰς περιωδυνίας, ἕως ἂν ἀφίκηται, καταβὰς ἐπὶ θάλατταν εἰς τὸ παρεσκευασμένον πορθμεῖον ἐνέβη καὶ πρὶν αἰσθέσθαι τινὰ τὸ πραχθὲν εἰς Μεσσήνην ἀπέπλευσεν.
