I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times.

==Views of the oath==

The oath requires a doctor to swear on the names of [[Apollo]], [[Æsculapius]], and all the "gods" and "goddesses" of the [[Pagan]] Greek pantheon. Since this oath contradicts fundamental Christian principles by requiring a Christian to swear by Pagan gods, devout Christian doctors may refuse to take this oath.
