      The quotation is from what seems to be an interfaith discussion between the second-century C.E. Palestinian sage, Rabbi Akiba, and a man identified by his Greek name, Zenon.²⁸ Zenon asks R. Akiba how he explains the fact that individuals seeking the healing power of idols (probably referring to pagan shrines like the aforementioned Aesculapios) are actually healed. R. Akiba answers with a parable, which is quoted in thirteenth-century Jewish polemical literature.²⁹
