From Simon Online
Iatria grece medella curatio remedium medicina.
Apparatus:
medella ACD f | medela B ejp
curatio om. f
medicina | medecina B
Translation:
Iatria is Greek for Latin medella curatio remedium medicina {all meaning "healing, cure, remedy"}.
Commentary:
ἰατρεία /iatreía/ "healing, medical treatment".
Simon's transcription reflects a pronunciation that began in the Koine period, where the diphthong ει {/ei/} is pronounced ι {/i/} resulting in /iatría/.
