“Manlius paraphrases Plutarch, who says the following about Medios of Larissa: ἐκέλευεν οὖν θαρροῦντας ἅπτεσθαι καὶ δάκνειν ταῖς διαβολαῖς, διδάσκων ὅτι, κἂν θεραπεύσῃ τὸ ἕλκος ὁ δεδηγμένος, ἡ οὐλὴ μένει τῆς διαβολῆς. He [Medios] urged people to boldly hold fast and sink in their teeth with their slanders, teaching that even if the bitten may heal the wound, the scar of the slanders remains. – Plut. Adulator, page 17r (c. 100 AD)”
