Passage 2.27.6
ὁπόσα δὲ Ἀντωνῖνος ἀνὴρ τῆς συγκλήτου βουλῆς ἐφʼ ἡμῶν ἐποίησεν, ἔστι μὲν Ἀσκληπιοῦ λουτρόν, ἔστι δὲ ἱερὸν θεῶν οὓς Ἐπιδώτας ὀνομάζουσιν· ἐποίησε δὲ καὶ Ὑγείᾳ ναὸν καὶ Ἀσκληπιῷ καὶ Ἀπόλλωνι ἐπίκλησιν Αἰγυπτίοις. καὶ ἦν γὰρ στοὰ καλουμένη Κότυος, καταρρυέντος δέ οἱ τοῦ ὀρόφου διέφθαρτο ἤδη πᾶσα ἅτε ὠμῆς τῆς πλίνθου ποιηθεῖσα· ἀνῳκοδόμησε καὶ ταύτην. Ἐπιδαυρίων δὲ οἱ περὶ τὸ ἱερὸν μάλιστα ἐταλαιπώρουν, ὅτι μήτε αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν σκέπῃ σφίσιν ἔτικτον καὶ ἡ τελευτὴ τοῖς κάμνουσιν ὑπαίθριος ἐγίνετο· ὁ δὲ καὶ ταῦτα ἐπανορθούμενος κατεσκευάσατο οἴκησιν· ἐνταῦθα ἤδη καὶ ἀποθανεῖν ἀνθρώπῳ καὶ τεκεῖν γυναικὶ ὅσιον.
Among the works done in our day by Antoninus, a man of the Senate, are a bath-house of Asclepius and a sanctuary dedicated to the gods called Epidotes ("Givers"). He built also temples to Hygieia, Asclepius, and Apollo, under the surname Egyptian. There was, moreover, a portico named Cotys, which, as the roof had collapsed, was entirely in ruins, having originally been built of unbaked brick; this too he restored anew. The Epidaurians who lived around the sanctuary especially suffered hardship because they had no shelter under which the women could bear their children, and those who fell ill died exposed to the open air. Antoninus addressed these troubles as well, constructing a building so that henceforth it became lawful and proper for men to die and women to give birth within its shelter.
