    Everywhere[2] within Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi's domain, and
    among the people beyond the borders, the Cholas, the Pandyas, the
    Satiyaputras, the Keralaputras, as far as Tamraparni and where the
    Greek king Antiochos rules, and among the kings who are neighbors of
    Antiochos,[3] everywhere has Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, made
    provision for two types of medical treatment: medical treatment for
    humans and medical treatment for animals. Wherever medical herbs
    suitable for humans or animals are not available, I have had them
    imported and grown. Wherever medical roots or fruits are not available
    I have had them imported and grown. Along roads I have had wells dug
    and trees planted for the benefit of humans and animals
