Translation: "And often [Nicanor] grew sick, and the god strengthened him. But when he became master of himself and of his health, he made no time for his saviour."[1]
And again:[2] "and the knave kept saying that he had become master of himself by the chance timely arrival of remedies rather than by the will of a god."
Greek Original:Ἐγκρατής: ὁ δὲ πολλάκις ἐνόσησε, καὶ ἀνέρρωσεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός. ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐγκρατὴς ἐγένετο ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τῆς ὑγιείας, τοῦ σωτῆρος οὐδεμίαν ὤραν ἐτίθετο. καὶ αὖθις: ἔλεγε δὲ ὁ λεωργὸς τῶν φθανουσῶν ἰάσεων τύχῃ μᾶλλον ἢ βουλήσει θεοῦ ἐγκρατὴς γεγονέναι.

Aelian fr. 44a Domingo-Forasté (part of 41 Hercher) "De Nicanore" is the source of this sentence, but the
Suda's text leaves out Nicanor's name, as if to generalize the statement. Contrast
alpha 2315.
[2] This (standard) introduction makes it appear that the following sentence might be from another work of, or at least another place in,
Aelian; in fact it is just the next sentence of the same passage in
Aelian.
R. Hercher, Claudii Aeliani de natura animalium libri xvii, varia historia, epistolae, & fragmenta, vol. 2, Leipzig: Teubner, 1866.
