Ancient medical instruments

English: The finds come from the tombs of several generations of the medical family, discovered on the outskirts of Epidaurus, outside the sanctuary. The occurrence of surgical instruments in the sacred space would be contrary to the tradition of the Asklepiades and the Hippocratic Oath.

Čeština: Nálezy pocházejí z hrobek několika generací lékařské rodiny, odkrytých na okraji města Epidauru, tedy mimo svatyni. Výskyt chirurgických nástrojů v posvátném prostoru by byl v rozporu s tradicí o Asklépiadés i s Hippokratovou přísahou.
