No physician shall presume to enter a prison when governors, tribunes,
or deputies, are excluded therefrom, without being accompanied by the
jailer, lest the prisoners, influenced by fear, may obtain from said
physician the means wherewith to commit suicide; for should any poison
be furnished or administered by physicians, under such circumstances,
the course of justice would be greatly obstructed. Should any physician
be guilty of this offence, he shall be liable to punishment for the
same.

Where any person demands that a physician treat him for disease, or

in an instrument in writing.
=IV. Where a Sick Person Dies, while a Physician is Treating him under a
Contract.=
Where a physician undertakes the treatment of a sick person under
a contract reduced to writing, he must restore said sick person to
health; and, if the latter should die, the physician shall not be
entitled to the compensation stipulated in said contract, and no
liability shall attach to either of the parties to the same.
=V. Where a Physician Removes a Cataract from the Eye.=
Where a physician removes a cataract from the eye of any person, and
restores the invalid to his former health, he shall be entitled to five
_solidi_ for his services.
=VI. Where a Freeman or a Slave Dies from Being Bled.=
Where a physician bleeds a patient, and the latter is greatly weakened
in consequence, said physician shall be compelled to pay him forty
_solidi_. If the patient should die as the result of being bled,
the physician shall be delivered up to the relatives of said patient,
to be disposed of at their pleasure. Where the patient is a slave, and
is seriously weakened, or dies, the physician must give his master
another slave of equal value, in his stead.
=VII. Concerning the Compensation to be Received for the Instruction of
a Student in Medicine.=

in medicine, he shall be entitled to twelve _solidi_ by way of
compensation.
