Elephant Hawk Moth

[Gareth Morgan]

My son has 'rescued' what I think is an elephant Hawk Moth larva. 
Unfortunately it was wandering around the beach (in Cyprus) so is probably 
infected with parasites. Does anyone know what plant it feeds off?  I'd like 
to give it an even chance if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have already scoured the Internet 
and found lots of info on Sphingidae but not on the larva food plants.

Thanks,
