 PREFACE TO VOLUMES V AND VI

In his preface to volume IV (1931), W. H. 5.

Jones writes: “This book completes the Loeb trans-
lation of Hippocrates,” offering no explanation why
the rest of the Collection is to be ignored, unless it
is implied in his next sentence: “The work of
preparing the volume has taken all my leisure for
over five years...”
Whatever Jones’ reasons for stopping may have
been, the lack of a complete English translation has
been noted and regretted by classicists and histori-
ans of medicine alike. A plan to continue the Loeb
Hippocrates has now existed in America for several
decades, and it is chiefly due to the untiring efforts
of Dr. Saul Jarcho and Mr. Richard J. Wolfe that
volume V sees the light of day.
The cost of preparing and publishing volumes V
and VI has been met by NIH Grant LM 02813 from
the National Library of Medicine, and the examina-
tion of Hippocratic manuscripts in Florence, Paris,
Rome, Venice and Vienna made possible by grants
generously provided by the Jason A. Hannah Insti-
tute for the History of Medicine.
 PREFACE

Work on volumes V and VI was greatly facili-

tated by the use of computer texts and indexes
kindly furnished by Prof. Gilles Maloney and his
team at the Laboratoire de recherches hippocra-
tiques in Quebec.
Finally, it is my pleasant duty to thank Prof.
M. P. Goold, Associate Editor of the series, Prof.
Dr. Fridolf Kudlien, Prof. Wesley D. Smith, William
B. Spaulding M.D., F.R.C.P.(C.), and Lynn Wilson
Ph.D., all of whom read the volumes in various
stages of their preparation, for their manifold help-
ful comments.

 INTRODUCTION TO VOLS V AND VI!

These volumes contain the most important Hip-

pocratic works on the pathology of internal
diseases. Presumably in consequence of their com-
mon purpose, these six treatises tend to share the
same general structure: independent chapters of
constant form each devoted to one specific nosologi-
cal entity.”
About the treatises’ interdependencies, authors,
and relative dates of composition, nothing can be
said with any degree of certainty. There is neither

1 This introduction deals only with the treatises in

volumes V and VI; for an orientation to Hippocrates and
the Hippocratic Collection in general, the reader is
referred to W. H. S. Jones’ “General Introduction” (Loeb
Hippocrates 1. ix-lxix) and “Introductory Essays” (Loeb
Hippocrates 11. ix-lxvi). Useful guides to Hippocratic scho-
larship since Jones are Ludwig Edelstein’s article “Hip-
pokrates” in Paulys Real-Encyclopddie der classischen

that would call into doubt, their traditional time of
origin about 400 B.c.
In the first century A.D. Erotian knew Diseases I

MANUSCRIPT TRADITION

Five of the six works in these volumes (Affec-

tions, Diseases I-III and Internal Affections ) share
a transmission that can be represented by the
stemma codicum that appears as Fig. 1 (p. x).
The transmission of the sixth work, Regimen in
Acute Diseases (Appendix), is more complex both
because of the existence of a commentary by Galen,
which provides a fertile source of variant readings,
and also because it was translated into Latin at an
early date.! The stemma codicum that appears as
Fig. 2 (p. xii) indicates the relationships among the
Greek manuscripts upon which the critical editions,
including this one, are based.

TEXT AND TRANSLATION

For Diseases I and III and Regimen in Acute

Diseases (Appendix) I have generally relied on the
collations given in the critical editions.? For the
other three works, which lack critical editions since
Littré, collations of 9and M have been made from
microfilms and supplemented by inspection of the
actual manuscripts.
In establishing the Greek text and making the
English translation, I have consulted many earlier
texts, translations and commentaries, among which
the most important are:

DISEASES ΠῚ
 INTRODUCTION

Diseases III was known to Erotian, Galen and

Caelius Aurelianus,! although, as I argue else-
where, probably under the title Diseases II.”
In its present state, the treatise consists of three
parts: a two-line tag, attaching it to a preceding
work on fevers; a nosological work (1-16); a collec-
tion of cooling agents (17).
The first sentence of Diseases III is identical to
the last sentence of the Hippocratic Sevens, a work
preserved, for the most part, only in Latin trans-
lation:
De febribus quidem omnibus <dixi>; de ceteris
autem iam dicam.?
However, for a number of reasons it seems impos-
sible that the two treatises share a common origin’;
rather, we must suppose that two independent
works were joined at a later date and fitted with a
suitable connecting link.

 DISEASES ΠῚ

The second part of Diseases III, which makes up

the bulk of the treatise, has sixteen chapters, each
dealing with one particular nosological entity:
1: Swelling of the Brain
2: Intense Headache
3: The Stricken
4: Sphacelus of the Brain
5: Lethargy
6: Ardent Fever
7: Swelling of the Lung
8: Headache and Speechlessness
9: Phrenitis
10: Angina
11: Jaundice
12: Tetanus
13: Opisthotonus
14: Ileus
15: Pneumonia
16: Pleurisy
Each of these chapters is organized according to the
following scheme: name or identifying feature;
symptoms and course; prognosis; treatment. In
most chapters, because of their simplicity, this
scheme is immediately apparent, but even in longer
chapters, which are complicated by many remarks
about variant forms of the disease and about com-
plications, it is strictly followed.
To judge from its clear arrangement and lack of
speculative aetiology, it would seem that this part
of Diseases 11] was a physician’s handbook.
4
 Chapter 17 is a collection of about twenty-five
cooling agents, to be given “against every ardent
and other fever”. This chapter is neither closely
related to, nor obviously incompatible with the
earlier part of the treatise. Perhaps it was added at
the same time that Sevens and Diseases III were
joined.

Diseases III is represented in all the standard

collected Hippocratic editions and translations, and
in the two renaissance works on Hippocratic
diseases.!
In 1973 it was edited and translated into Ger-
man in a Kiel dissertation subsequently published
as:
Paul Potter, Hippokrates Uber die Krankheiten

 DISEASES III

1. [Having spoken about all the febrile diseases,

I come now to speak about the rest.]
When the brain swells up as the result of phleg-
masia, pain occupies the whole head, but particu-
larly the region where the phlegmasia is located,
the temples. The patient’s ears are filled with ring-
ing, he hears unclearly, and the vessels in his head
are stretched, and throb; sometimes fever and chills
occur as well. The pain never ceases completely,
but sometimes it becomes milder, while at other
times it presses the patient more intensely; he cries
out and starts up from the pain, but as soon as he
has arisen, he is eager to fall back into bed, and he
casts himself about. This patient will certainly die,
although the number of days in which he will die
cannot be judged; for different patients die in dif-
ferent lengths of time; in most cases, however, they
succumb within seven days. If they survive for
twenty-one days, they recover.
When the patient is suffering intense pain, you
must cool his head—best after shaving it—by

pouring cooling agents such as nightshade juice

and potter’s earth into a bladder or length of gut;
alternately apply and remove this before it becomes
warm. Also, draw off blood, and clean out the head
with fragrant substances mixed in celery juice. Let
the patient abstain totally from wine, give him cold
barley-water as gruel, and empty his lower cavity.
2. When the head suffers violent pain due to a
filling of the brain, this indicates uncleanness.
Pains are present through the entire head, the
patient becomes deranged, and on the seventh day
he dies. He has no chance of recovering unless pus
breaks out through his ears; if this happens, the
pain stops and he recovers his wits; such a flux is
copious and odourless.
It is best not to treat this patient until you know
that the pus has broken out. If, however, you wish
to clean out his upper and lower cavities, evacuate
each separately. Then treat the head—as far as
possible the whole of it—with vapour-baths both
through the ears and through the nostrils. Have
the patient drink barley-water, and abstain totally
from wine. When the pus has broken out, stop
treatment until the major part of the flow ceases.
Then wash the ears with sweet wine, woman’s
milk, or old olive oil—use these fluids warm. Treat
the head frequently with mild and fragrant

vapour-baths in order that the brain will be cleaned

out more quickly. At first this patient hears
nothing, but as time passes the flux diminishes, his
hearing, which had stopped completely during the
flux, resumes, and he becomes for all intents and
purposes normal. He must avoid sun, wind, fire,
smoke, and sharp substances and their vapours.
Have him rest and employ a mild diet; let the lower
cavity be thoroughly opened by evacuants.
3. The “stricken”, as they are called: when the
brain becomes filled with great uncleanness, this
produces pain in the front of the head, and patients
cannot look up—some with both eyes, others with
one. Drowsiness befalls this patient, he is sense-
less, his temples throb, mild fever is present, and
his body is powerless. He dies on the third or fifth
day, and generally does not reach the seventh; if he
does, he recovers.
If you wish to attend this patient, treat his head
with vapour-baths, and fashion a connection to the
external air by incising.' If the pain remains fixed,
induce sneezing, clean out the head with mild and
fragrant substances, and also clean out the lower
cavity. Have the patient abstain totally from wine,
and drink barley-water.
1 Presumably the same kind of procedure as that
described in Diseases IJ 15, 18, and 25.

4. If the brain becomes sphacelous, pain occu-

pies the head, and moves through the neck to the
spine. Deafness befalls the patient, coldness comes
over his head, and he sweats all over; he suddenly
becomes speechless, blood flows from his nostrils,
and he becomes pale. If he has been attacked by a
mild form of the disease, he will become better after
the blood has flowed out, but if he is severely
affected, he soon dies.
In this patient induce sneezing by means of
fragrant substances, and clean out the two cavities,
one at a time. Hold mild fragrances up to his
nostrils, and have him drink thin warm gruel; let
him abstain totally from wine.
5. Lethargy: the same state of evil as pneu-
monia, but more severe, and not altogether
removed from moist pneumonia!: this disease is
much more violent. The person suffers the follow-
ing: he is subject to coughing and drowsiness, he
expectorates plentiful moist sputum, and he is
quite powerless. When he is about to die, he passes
copious watery stools. His hope of survival is very
slight; nevertheless, induce him to cough as much
as possible, warm him, and have him abstain from
wine. If he survives, he suppurates internally.
6. Ardent fever, as it is called: there is great
thirst, and the tongue becomes rough; at first, it
! For the particular severity of moist pneumonia see
chapter 15 below.

stays its normal colour, but is very dry; with time,

it becomes hard, rough and thick, then dark. Now
if the tongue suffers these things at the beginning,
the crises occur sooner; if it suffers them later, the
crises take longer. Concerning recovery, the tongue
gives all the same indications as in pneumonia.
Urines that are green or bloody are painful, but if
yellow, they are less so. The sputum, being burnt
up by the heat and dryness, is thick. There is often
a change to pneumonia, too, and if this occurs, the
patient soon dies.
You must treat this patient as follows: wash
him with hot water two or three times every day,
except for his head—during the crises, you must
not wash. The first days clean him downwards,
and give him water to drink, for water usually
provokes vomiting. The days after the cleaning,
moisten him and employ gruels and sweet wines. If
you have not attended the patient from the begin-
ning, but only after the signs in his tongue were
already present, you must withhold treatment until
his crises arrive and the signs become fainter;
before the crises, for the purpose of cleaning give
neither a medication nor an enema.

7. When the lung is distended with phlegmasia

and swells up, a violent harsh cough and ortho-
pnoea set in. The patient respires rapidly, gasps
frequently for breath, sweats, dilates his nostrils
like a running horse, and continually protrudes his
tongue. His chest seems to sing and to contain a
heaviness that prevents it from moving; in fact, it
feels torn, and is powerless. Sharp pain is present
in the patient’s back and chest, needles, as it were,
prick his sides, and he burns in these areas as
though he were sitting next to a fire; red patches
like flames erupt on his chest and back. A violent
gnawing pain attacks the patient, and he is in such
straits that he can neither lie down, nor stand up,
nor sit; he is distraught and casts himself about,
and seems already on the point of death. He
usually dies on the fourth or seventh day; if he sur-
vives that many, death is rare.
If you treat this patient, clean out his lower
cavity thoroughly as quickly as possible with an
enema, and draw blood from the bends of his arms,
his nose, his tongue, and in fact all over. Give him
cooling drinks, gruels that have the same effect,
and also frequent diuretics that are not warming.

pressing, you must apply light moist fomentations

to warm and moisten the place where the pain
happens to be. Against the rest apply cooling
agents; apply and remove these alternately. If the
patient is consumed with heat, cool him. Have him
abstain totally from wine.
8. When a sharp pain beginning from the head
suddenly makes a person speechless—both in
consequence of drunkenness and otherwise—the
person dies on the seventh day. This condition is
less often fatal in cases where it arises from drunk-
enness; for if patients’ voices break through on the
same day, or on the third day, they have recovered;
some who have the condition from drunkenness do
this, the rest die.
In these patients induce energetic sneezing, and
give an enema that will draw bile effectively. If a
patient recovers his senses, give him thapsia juice
in adequate warm fluid, in order that he wili vomit
as soon as possible. Then make him lean, and have
him abstain from wine for seven days. Also draw
blood from his tongue, if you can catch hold of the
vessel.
9. Phrenitis can also develop out of another
disease. Patients suffer as follows: they experience
such pain in the diaphragm that they will not allow
themselves to be touched, there is fever, they are
deranged, they stare fixedly, and for the rest
they resemble patients with pneumonia that are

deranged.
Warm this patient with warm moist fomenta-
tions and with drinks other than wine. If he can
stand it, clean him upwards; he must bring up
material by coughing and expectoration just as in
pneumonia; if he fails to do this, prepare the lower
cavity in order to evacuate it; moisten the patient
with drink, for that helps. The disease is usually
mortal, and patients die on the third, fifth or
seventh day. If the case is a mild one, it has its
crisis the way pneumonia does.
10. With angina, as it is called, the person
chokes and seems to have something like an apple
caught in his throat, so that he is unable to swallow
either his saliva or anything else. His eyes hurt
and protrude as in those that are being strangled,
they stare fixedly, and he cannot turn them. The
patient is distraught, and casts himself about inces-
santly. His face, throat and neck are distended,'
but below his ears he appears normal. He sees and
hears less keenly than before and, because of the
strangulation, is not aware of what he says or hears
or does; he just lies there with his mouth open,
drooling. In this case the patient dies on the fifth,
seventh or ninth day. When any of the signs

mentioned is absent, it shows that the disease is

milder, and people call it “parangina”.
You must phlebotomize this patient, best of all
under the nipple; for there warm breath follows,
out of the lung. You must also clean out the lower
cavity with a medication or enema, and insert
tubes into the throat behind the jaws, in order that
air may be drawn into the lung. Induce expectora-
tion as soon as possible, and dry up the lung: burn
Cilician hyssop, sulphur and asphalt, and have the
patient draw the vapours through the tubes into
his nostrils, in order to discharge the phlegm; also
anoint the throat and tongue with agents that draw
phlegm. If the patient is strong, incise the vessels
under his tongue, and draw blood from the bends of
his arms; let him abstain from wine, and drink thin
barley-water gruel. When the disease goes away,
and the patient has tasted food, clean him out
thoroughly with fresh squirting-cucumber juice, in
order that he does not fall into some new evil.
11. The acute and rapidly fatal jaundice is as
follows: the whole skin is very much the colour of
pomegranate-peel, greener than green lizards, and
the body the same. In the urine a reddish sediment
like vetch-meal precipitates; fever and mild shiver-
ing are present. Sometimes the patient will not
even tolerate having his blanket on, but it
scratches and irritates him; in the morning, before
he has eaten, his inward parts usually suffer tear-
ing pains, and when anyone wakes him up or talks

to him, he will not tolerate it. The patient

generally dies within fourteen days; if he survives
that many, he recovers.
The patient must employ warm baths, and drink
melicrat with equal amounts of shelled Thasian
nuts! and wormwood leaves, and half as much
sifted anise; he must drink three obols’ weight in
the morning before eating, and on retiring this
melicrat again together with light aged wine, and

hard as wood, and patients cannot open their

backs become rigid, and they cannot adduct their
legs; similarly, not their arms either. The patient’s
face becomes red, he suffers great pain and, when
he is on the point of death, he vomits drink, gruel
and phlegm through his nostrils. This patient
generally dies on the third, fifth, seventh or
fourteenth day; if he survives for that many, he
recovers.
Give him pills of pepper and black hellebore, and

sneezing, and treat with vapour-baths; when you do

not employ vapour-baths, apply moist rich fomenta-

tions in bladders and small leather skins to all
parts of the body, especially the painful ones, and
anoint often with plentiful warm oil.
13. Opisthotonus is mainly the same, except
that the patient is drawn backwards. He some-
times cries out, his pains are violent, and some-
times the disease does not allow him to adduct his
legs or to extend his arms; for the elbows become
flexed, and he holds his fingers in a fist, usually
enclosing the thumb inside the other digits. The
patient cries out and sometimes talks nonsense;
when the pain is present, he is unable to restrain
himself, casting himself about, but when it remits,
he is still. Sometimes they may also become
speechless during an attack, at the same time being
seized by some sort of rage or melancholy; such
patients generally die on the third day after becom-
ing speechless. These patients, too, vomit through
their nostrils. If one survives for fourteen days, he
recovers.
Treat as the patient above; if you wish, do the
following as well: pour a very large amount of cold
water over the patient, then cover him with large
clean warm light blankets, and during this time do
not bring fire close to him. Do this both for tetanus
and for opisthotonus.

14. Tleus occurs when the upper cavity is

heated, and the lower one is cooled; for the intes-
tine dries up, so that neither air nor food can pass
through it, and the belly becomes costive. The
patient sometimes vomits first material that is like
phlegm, then like bile, and finally faeces. There
are thirst and pain, especially in the hypochon-
drium; the patient also has pain throughout his
whole belly with distention, and hiccups; fever, too,
comes on. This disease occurs in fall, in most cases,
and the patient generally dies on the seventh day.
Treat this patient as follows: clean out his
upper cavity as quickly as possible, draw blood
from his head and the bends of his arms, in order to
remove the overheating of the upper cavity, and
cool the region above the diaphragm, except for the
heart. Warm the lower cavity by sitting the patient
in a basin of hot water; anoint him often and apply
moist fomentations. Form a suppository of pure
honey ten fingers long and, smearing the anterior
tip with bull’s gall, introduce it two or three times,
in order to remove all the fecal material that has

been burnt dry about the anus. If this succeeds,

follow it with an enema; if not, take a
bronzesmith’s bellows and, introducing this, blow
air into the cavity in order to open up the cavity
and the intestinal contraction. Then remove the
bellows and immediately administer an enema; let
the enema be prepared beforehand and not too
warming, but capable of dissolving and melting the
faeces; then stop the anus with a sponge, and let
the patient sit in hot water while retaining the
enema; if he takes the enema fluid in and then
sends it forth again, he recovers. Before this let the
patient take some of the best honey you have, and
drink new wine unmixed with water. If, after the
obstruction has been resolved, fever comes on, the
case is hopeless, because the lower cavity, being
relaxed, will in all likelihood combine with the
fever to kill the patient.
15. In pneumonia the following happens: there
is violent fever, and the patient’s breathing is rapid
and hot; he is distraught, weak and restless, and
beneath his shoulder-blade he suffers pain that
radiates toward his collar-bone and nipple; he has a
heaviness in his chest, and he is deranged. In some
patients, there is no pain until they begin to cough;
this pneumonia lasts longer and is severer than the
one with pain from the beginning.
The patient first expectorates white frothy spu-
tum, and his tongue is yellow; as time passes, the
tongue becomes dark. Now if it becomes dark at

the beginning, recovery is more rapid, but if it

becomes dark later, recovery is slower; in the end,
the tongue also develops fissures, and if you touch
it with your finger, the patient is irritated. The
tongue gives an indication of recovery in this
disease just as in pleurisy.
The patient suffers these things for at least four-
teen days, at most twenty-one; he coughs hard dur-
ing this time, clearing with his cough first copious
frothy sputum, and then on the seventh or eighth
day—whenever the fever reaches its high point—a
thicker sputum, if the pneumonia happens to be a
moist one; not, however, if the pneumonia is not
moist. On the ninth and tenth days, the sputum is
somewhat yellow-green and charged with blood; on
the twelfth to the fourteenth days, it is copious and
purulent.
In patients whose natures and bodily propensi-
ties are moist, the disease is severe; in those whose
nature and state of disease is dry, less so.
Now if on the fifteenth and sixteenth days the
patient becomes dry and no longer coughs up puru-
lent sputum, he has recovered. If not, turn your
attention to the eighteenth and twenty-first days,
and if he stops expectorating then, he survives. If
not, ask him if his sputum is sweetish, and if he
says it is, his lung is suppurating, and the disease
will last for a year, unless he exerts himself to

bring up the pus in forty days. If he says the spu-

tum has a foul taste, the state of his disease is mor-
tal. The sputum generally gives an indication in
the first twenty-two days, for, if putrefied purulent
material is coughed up in twenty-two days, and if
there is no ulceration, the patient escapes; other-
wise, he does not.
This pneumonia lacks none of the evils of pneu-
monia; now if any of these evils should be absent,
know that the disease will be easier for the patient
to bear and for the physician to treat. However, if
the patient has only a few of the signs, do not be
deceived into thinking that it is not really pneu-
monia; for it is, only a mild one.
Treat pneumonia as follows (indeed, it would not
be a mistake to handle pleurisy and phrenitis in
the same way): begin by lightening the head, in
order that no flux to the chest will occur. On the
first days, gruels should be sweetish, for with these
you will best wash away and remove what has been
deposited and congealed in the chest; on the fourth,
fifth and sixth days, change from sweet to rich
ones, for this helps the patient to cough up sputum
gently; if he is unable to expectorate as he should,
give expectorant medications. In the first four or
five days, you must evacuate the cavities, and quite

well, in order that the fevers will be blunted and

the pains lightened. However, when the body has
been emptied and is weak, move the lower cavity
down gently only every other day, in order that the
body will retain some strength, and that the upper
regions will remain adequately moist; for if too
much moisture passes off below from the fifth day
onwards, it leads to death; for as the moisture
passes off below, the upper regions become dry, and
cleaning by expectoration does not take place. In
short, the lower cavity can neither be allowed to
remain inactive—to prevent the fevers from being
too sharp—nor be too thoroughly evacuated—in
order that the sputum will be able to be expec-
torated, and the patient will remain strong. Give
expectorant medications on the sixth and eighth
days, and even later in the course of the disease; let
these be equal amounts of white hellebore, thapsia,
and fresh squirting-cucumber juice.
If the sputum is not being cleaned out effec-
tively, if respiration is rapid, and if expectoration is
failing, announce that there is no hope of survival
unless the patient can help with the cleaning. But
still treat as is appropriate for pneumonia, if the
lower cavity cooperates with you.
Alternatively, do the following, beginning on the
first day: give a cheramys each of cuckoo-pint,
dauke and stinging nettle, good pinches of mustard

bean!; mix these in sweetened vinegar and water,
sieve, and give warm to the fasting patient. When
he begins to cough up material that is clean, have
him drink a cheramys of cuckoo-pint, sesame, and
shelled almonds in sweetened vinegar mixed with
water; if you want to promote expectoration even
more, mix root bark of the caper-plant in with
these.
16. When pleurisy arises, a person suffers the
following: he has pain in his side, fever and shiver-
ing, he respires rapidly, and he has orthopnoea. He
coughs up somewhat bilious material the colour of
pomegranate-peel, unless he has tears; if he has
tears, then he coughs up blood, too, from the tears;
in sanguinous pleurisy, the sputum is diffused with
blood. The bilious variety of pleurisy is relatively
mild, unless the patient has tears; if he has tears, it
is more painful but not more mortal. The
sanguinous variety of pleurisy is severe, painful
and mortal.
Now when in addition hiccups are present, and
the patient coughs up dark clots of blood in his spu-
tum, he succumbs on the seventh day. If he sur-
vives for ten days, he recovers from the pleurisy,
but on the twelfth day suppurates internally,
coughs up pus, and finally vomits as well; this
patient is not especially easy to treat.
There are also dry pleurisies without expectora-

tion, and these are severe. The crises are the same
as in the other varieties, but these patients require
more moisture in their drinks than do the others.
The bilious and sanguinous varieties of pleurisy
have their crises on the ninth or tenth day, and
such patients usually recover. If their pains are
mild at the beginning, but sharp from the fifth or
sixth day on, the disease ends by the twelfth day
and is not very mortal; danger is greatest up to the
seventh day, although some danger persists until
the twelfth day; after that patients recover. If the
pains are mild at the beginning, but sharp from the
seventh or eighth day on, patients have their crises
and recover about the fourteenth day.
Pleurisy in the back differs from the other
varieties in the following: the patient suffers pain
in his back as if from a blow, he groans, and he
respires rapidly; he immediately coughs up small
amounts of sputum, and his body is weary. On the
third or fourth day, he passes serous urine charged
with blood; he usually dies on the fifth day; if not
on the fifth day, then on the seventh; if he escapes
for that many, he lives, and the disease is mild and
less mortal. Protect him until the fourteenth day;
after that he has recovered.
In some pleurisies the sputum is clean, but the
urine bloody, resembling the fluid that runs out of
roasted meat; sharp pains extend along the spine to

the chest and groin. If this patient survives until

the seventh day, he recovers.
When, in one of these pleurisies, in addition the
back becomes red, the shoulders are warm, the
patient feels a heaviness on sitting up, and his
belly is set in violent motion by yellow-green foul-
smelling stools, he dies on the twenty-first day as a
result of the evacuation. If he survives after that,
he recovers.
Patients whose expectorations are manifold from
the start, and whose pains are very sharp, die on
the third day; if they survive for that many, they
recover. If one does not recover, he begins to sup-
purate internally on the seventh, ninth or tenth
day; in fact, it is better to suppurate, for this is less
mortal, even though painful.
Besides the signs already mentioned in each of
the pleurisies, you must also observe the following
signs of the tongue. If the tongue becomes rough at
the beginning, recovery from the disease is difficult,
and it is imperative for the patient to cough up
blood on the days when he should. If this sign
appears when the disease is already advanced, the
crises will be toward the fourteenth day, and the
patient inevitably expectorates blood.
The manner of recovery is as follows: if on the
third day the sputum begins to reach maturity and

to be coughed up, recovery is faster; but if the spu-

tum matures later, then the crises too occur later,
just as with the signs in the head. The pains in all
pleurisies are generally lighter during the day than
at night.
You must treat pleurisies as follows: for the
most part, just as phrenitis and pneumonia, except
that you must also administer warm baths and
sweet wines. Now when you have taken the case
on the first day of the disease’s onset, or on the day
after that, if the stools pass clean or slightly bilious,
and scanty, administer an enema of thapsia; if the
cavity, on being set in motion, evacuates during the
night, but on the following day pain and colic are
present, administer another enema.
If the person is bilious by nature, and has been
taken by the disease when in an unclean state,
before he expectorates bilious sputum clean out bile
thoroughly with a medication; but to a patient
already expectorating bilious material, do not give
a medication, because, if you do, he will be unable
to discharge his sputum upwards, and will choke to
death on the seventh or ninth day. If, besides the
pain in the side, the hypochondrium too is in pain,
administer an enema, and give the patient in
the fasting state aristolochia, hyssop, cummin,
silphium, white poppy, flower of copper, honey,
vinegar, and water to drink.
This is the first treatment you must apply, as far

as medications are concerned; the other measures

are the following: wash with plentiful water as hot
as the patient can stand, except for his head; when
his crises are occurring, warm the painful areas
with moist vapour-baths and anoint them with
olive oil. When diseases are pressing, let the
patient rest and the physician suspend treatment
lest he do any harm; give only boiled barley-water
slightly thickened and sweetened with honey.
After bathing, let the patient first drink sweet wine
mixed with water, not too cold, a small amount
from a narrow-necked bottle. When coughing is
present, have him drink more of this, expectorate
as much as possible, and moisten himself by drink,
in order that his lung, becoming moister, will
discharge its sputum more easily and quickly, and
the cough will be less painful; give juice of the
sweet or vinous pomegranate mixed with a little
goat’s milk and honey, administering it often in
small amounts both at night and during the day.
Prevent sleep as much as possible, in order that
cleaning will be more rapid and complete.
Treat sanguinous pleurisy thus: after the crises,
restore the patient with light foods, make him rest,
and protect him strictly from wind, sun, repletion,
foods that are acid, salty or rich, smoke, wind in the
cavity, exertions, and venery; for if he has a
relapse, he dies.

If pain is present during coughing and makes

expectoration impossible, give the patient in the
fasting state flower of copper in the amount of a
wild olive, half as much silphium juice, and a little
clover seed in honey to eat; or give him in the fast-
ing state five corns of pepper, silphium juice to the
amount of a bean, honey, vinegar and water to
drink warm; this also stills pains.
If the patient is unable to expectorate as he
should, but his sputum is caught fast and ster-
torous breathing is heard in his chest, have him
take a cheramys of cuckoo-pint root and olive oil in
honey, and afterwards drink a mixed vinegar
potion. Another strong medication: mix flower of
copper to the amount of a bean, twice as much
burnt soda, and a pinch of hyssop in honey,
sprinkle water and a little olive oil over it, warm in
a mussel-shell, and infuse in order to prevent the
patient from choking. Make this infusion in pneu-
monia, too, if the patient is not being cleaned.
If the patient does not breathe stertorously, but
also does not expectorate as he should, mix a good
pinch of capers, pepper, and a little soda into
honey, vinegar and water; administer warm; the
next day have him take hyssop boiled up in vine-
gar, honey and water. This can also be given to
patients with stertorous breathing that are unable
to clean themselves. If you want to make some-

tard, and cress into honey, boil these up in water,

These diseases, if treated in such a way, are
cured, unless some of the material that should be
coughed up is left behind in the lung and becomes
pus; from this patients develop a dry cough, fever,
shivering and orthopnoea; the patient breathes fre-
quently and rapidly, his voice is slightly deeper
than before, and his face takes on a good colour
from the heat. As time passes, the disease reveals
itself more clearly. If you take on this patient
within ten days from the start, you must warm him
by means of a regimen and a hot bath, and infuse
into his lung substances that will draw pus; employ
the other measures that move pus, prescribe the
same regimen as for internal suppuration, and dry
his head thoroughly to prevent a flux to the chest.
If, with the infusion, maturation and expulsion
of the pus do not occur, the pus breaks out of the
patient’s lung into his thorax, and after the break
he seems to have recovered, since the pus has
moved from a confined space into an open one [and
the air that we inspire has its seat in the lung].' As
time passes, however, the chest fills up with pus
and, as coughing, fevers, and all the other evils
press the patient more and more, the disease is
revealed. You must leave this patient without

treatment for fifteen days after the break, in order

that the pus can mature anew; for inasmuch as it
has moved into an open space, it cools and draws to
itself any moisture that happens to be present in
the thorax, so that it itself becomes only semi-
mature. Now if the patient begins to expectorate
spontaneously in this period, assist him with medi-
cations or potions, and in the final days of the
fifteen urge him to get up before his body becomes
any more wasted, and make sure that his head is
clean in order to prevent any fluxes to the chest.
If he does not expectorate, but signs point to his
side, incise or cauterize. If the patient does not
expectorate, but there are also no signs pointing to
his side, wash him in abundant warm water and,
before he has taken food or drink, set him on a
steady chair; let someone else hold him by the
shoulders, and you shake him, applying your ear to
his sides in such a way as to learn on which side
the sign arises. Hope that it is on the left side, for
it is more dangerous to cauterize or incise on the
right; for in the same proportion that the right
parts of the body are stronger, so too are the
diseases in them stronger.
If the pus, because of its thickness, does not
fluctuate or make any sound in the chest, but the
patient draws his breath rapidly, his feet swell up,

and ἃ mild cough is present, do not be deceived, but

know well that his chest is full of pus. Soak a piece
of fine linen in warm moist finely triturated
Eretrian earth; then wrap this all the way around
his thorax, and, wherever it first dries, that is
where you must cauterize or incise, as close to the
diaphragm as possible, but sparing the diaphragm
itself. If you prefer, apply the Eretrian earth
directly and look for the place the same way you
would in the linen; let many people apply the earth
simultaneously, in order that the first applied does
not become dry.
After the incision or cautery, use a tent of raw
linen, and discharge the pus a little at a time.
Whenever you are about to cauterize or incise,
observe that the patient has the same position he
had before, when you first incised or cauterized, in
order that you will not be deceived by his skin
moving higher or lower as he changes his position.
Employ a regimen that minimizes coughing, in
order to prevent the patient from drawing pus back
into his lung—for that would be bad; after the in-
cision let the patient be dried out as quickly as pos-
sible. When twelve days have elapsed after the
cautery, remove all the remaining pus and plug the
wound with linen; remove pus twice daily, and dry
out the upper cavity as thoroughly as possible by
means of regimen.
This is also the way you must examine and treat

17. Give the following cooling agents to drink in
ardent fevers whenever you wish; they have many
effects: some are diuretic, others laxative, others

both, and others neither, merely cooling as if some-

one were to pour cold water over a vessel of boiling
water, or were to move the vessel itself into the cold
air. Give different ones to different patients, for
the sweet ones do not benefit everyone, nor do the
astringent ones, nor are all patients able to drink
the same things.
A. Soak about two cotylai of dried honeycomb in
water, and stir until the water becomes sweetish to

the taste; then sieve, add celery, and give to drink.

B. Pour ten cotylai of water over an oxybaphon

of linseed, and simmer in a new pot over a charcoal
fire without boiling, in order that it exhales vapour,
until the liquid becomes greasy to the touch.

K. To a half choinix of ripe barley groats add a

chous of water; when the groats have swollen up,
knead them with your hands until the water
becomes white; add a pinch of maiden-hair, expose
to the air, and give.
L. Let the patient beat the white of three or four
eggs in a chous of water, and drink; this is very
cooling and leads the cavity down. However, if it
seems appropriate to evacuate even more strongly,
beat in the yolks.
M. Wash a half choinix of parched barley well,
and boil it two or three times in a chous of water;
give cold.
N. Give thin boiled-down barley-water, and
sweet wine; this does not draw.
O. The finest meal of melon without peel, in
water; this is diuretic, cools, and stops thirst.
P. First boil bitter vetches in water; then,
setting a new pot in a larger pot full of water, add
new water to the vetches and boil for a short time;
then pour off one third of the water and, when the
vetches are boiled through, cool; give a cyathos at a
time, sprinkling it with melon meal. Meal can be
prepared from bitter vetches, too; this is very effec-
tive in stopping thirst.

S. Boil three handfuls of celery and two pinches
of pennyroyal in ten cotylai of vinegar until one
third remains; mix with honey, and have the
patient drink in abundant water, adding a pinch of
maiden-hair; this is diuretic and laxative.
T. Crush fragrant sweet apples and, after soak-
ing them in water, give the water to drink.
U. The same with quinces, for patients whose
cavity has been evacuated after an ardent fever.
V. When jaundice is present, grind down a half
cotyle each of white raisins without stones, white
chick-peas, Achilles barley, and safflower in ten
cotylai of water with dashes of celery, mint and
coriander, until the mixture becomes slightly
sweet; then later add a pinch of maiden-hair,
expose to the air, and give.
Also imitate the agents described with others
that are similar; for the fever patient, expose them
all to the air before you give them, except in cases
where the cavities have suffered excessive evacua-
tions.
W. Boil three pinches of pennyroyal and twice
that amount of celery in wine mixed with water,
and give. This is diuretic, and draws bile through
the cavity.

| τὸ σικυῶδες has traditionally been taken not as modify-

ing τρίφυλλον but as a separate ingredient, variously
identified as cucumber (Calvus, Pylander), cucumber meal
(Cornarius, Foes) or melon meal (Littré, Fuchs). I see no
reason why this adjective could not have been applied to a
particular member of the clover family.

INTERNAL AFFECTIONS
 INTRODUCTION

Erotian does not mention this treatise in his list

of Hippocratic works, and the fact that one word in
his glossary may stem from Internal Affections 27'
is less than conclusive evidence that he knew it.?
Galen certainly did know Internal Affections,
albeit under a variety of titles:
...in Affections the Greater, which begins “If the
bronchial tube of the lung. ...” Some people
give this book the title Internal Suppuration
(Περὶ éuardiwv).?

ἄλφιτα: . . . in Diseases II the Greater also parched

lentils and vetches.*
Internal Affections is devoted wholly to the
description and, in particular, the treatment of

! B17 BariSes (Nachmanson p. 29).

2 See Nachmanson, Erotianstudien pp. 411 f.
3 Kiihn XVIII(1). 39; see also Kithn XVIII(2). 512 f.

diseases. Each of its fifty-four chapters deals with

a specific nosological entity according to the follow-
ing plan: name or identifying feature; aetiology;
symptoms and course; treatment; prognosis.
The overall arrangement of diseases is by ana-
tomy:
Diseases in the Lungs and Sides: 1-12
Diseases in the Abdomen:
Disease of the Spinal Marrow: 13
Diseases of the Kidney: 14-17
Diseases of the Vessels: 18-19
Diseases of Phlegm: 20-21
Dropsies: 22—26
Diseases of the Liver: 27—29
Diseases of the Spleen: 30—34
General Diseases:
Jaundices: 35-38
Typhuses: 39-43
Tleuses: 44-46
“Thick” Diseases: 47—50
Sciatica: 51
Tetanuses: 52-54

Where there are several varieties of the same

disease, an attempt is made to draw significant dis-
tinctions. Among the criteria used are the causal
agent (e.g. in the four “thick” diseases: phlegm and
bile; bile; phlegm; white phlegm), the pathological
process (e.g. in the four diseases of the kidney:
lithiasis; rupture of the vessels; ulceration; sup-
68
 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

puration), the anatomical location (e.g. in the two

diseases of the vessels: right; left), the signs (e.g.
the patient’s colour in the three diseases of the
liver: livid; like pomegranate-peel; dark), and the
season of occurrence (e.g. in the three ileuses:
winter; summer; late autumn).

Internal Affections is present in all the collected

editions and translations. Besides, in the seven-
teenth century it was twice edited and translated
into Latin in works devoted to Hippocratic patho-
logy:
Praelectiones in librum Hippocratis ... De
morbis internis auctore M. Ioanne Martino ...
editore M. Renato Morello. ... Paris, 1637.

Praelectiones in Hippocratis librum De internis

affectionibus ... edente M. Francisco de Saint-
André. ... Caen, 1687.

The work of Jouanna cited in the introduction to

Affections' also contains a newly edited text of
several chapters of Internal Affections.

 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

1. If the bronchial tube of the lung ulcerates, or

one of the narrow vessels leading to the lung tears,
or if some of the pipes extending through the lung
rupture into one another and are filled with
blood—most often such ruptures and tears occur as
a result of the following insults: exertion; running;
falls; blows; when there is violent vomiting; from
fevers—the patient suffers the following: first he
has a dry cough; then, a little later, he expectorates
sputum charged with blood, and then clear sputum.
If this patient gets over the disease quickly, that is
all. If not, as time goes on more blood comes up in
the sputum, sometimes pure, sometimes somewhat
putrid. Often, the threat also fills up with blood,
unnoticed; in that case, the patient coughs up clots
of blood frequently, a little at a time; sometimes
these give off a heavy odour. The throat also some-

times fills up with froth. Chills and fever attack,

intensely at the beginning of the disease, but as it
advances they become milder and intermittent;
pain is sometimes present in the chest, back and
sides. When the patient stops expectorating blood,
he produces copious moist or sometimes sticky spu-
tum. These things he suffers for fourteen days.
After that, if the disease does not go away, in
coughing the patient tears off fragments from his
bronchial tube as if from blisters; pain occupies his
chest, back and side, and on being touched in the
hypochondrium, he feels pain as if in an ulcer.
If the case is such, it benefits the patient to rest
indoors as much as possible during the disease.
For, if he exerts himself in any way, the pain will
be sharper, the cough press him more than before,
and the chills and fever increase; if he sneezes, it is
very painful. He suffers pain even in his bed,
whenever he turns over.
You must administer to this patient the same
cereals as to one with an internal suppuration,
these in very generous amounts. Of main dishes,
let him eat the following: of fish angel-fish, braize,
large light-coloured dogfish, or others of these
kinds, all seasoned in sumach and marjoram; of
meats let him eat broiled fowl without salt, or

very old and very pleasant. Have him take
moderate walks when he is without fever; if fever is
present, give gruel, meal or millet; if cereals are
given, let them be given in small amounts, together
with laxative main dishes. If the patient seems to
you to require a medication, clean him downwards
with Cnidian berry or sea-spurge, and after the
cleaning give him two bowls of rich boiled meal to
drink. Then after this strengthen him as much as
possible, in order that he will definitely not be thin,
for against this disease thinness is no help.
At first, let the patient take only short walks, in
order that he does not become fatigued. Treat him
with vapour-baths from time to time and, on which-
ever day these treatments take place, let him fast
that day, except for taking a bowl of boiled meal
and drinking water. On the following day, have
him eat less than is his custom, and drink a little
pleasant dry dark wine. From then on, give this
patient his food three times a day, a little at a time,
until you bring his cavity into order; for, as a conse-
quence of the fevers and the fasting, the mouth
wants something, but the cavity is not willing to
accept it, and if it does receive a large amount all at
once, it becomes swollen. Therefore, you must give
the food a little at a time; for, if you give it all at

once and the patient exerts himself but little in his

walks, the cavity is not cooled,! inasmuch as the
ingesta become congealed and fixed in it, and then
fever is inclined to supervene, which produces less
stress in winter, but more in summer.
Strengthen this patient thoroughly, in order
that he will become very robust; let him take walks
in moderation, wrestle less than usual, and exert
himself little at first, later more, but never a lot. If
he does these things, he will quickly recover; how-
ever, if he becomes emaciated because of the exer-
tion, let him give it up, eat heartily, and rest. Let
this patient not run against the wind, soon after
having recovered, nor ride a horse or in a wagon,
and have him avoid shouting and excitement; for
there is a danger that the disease will recur, and
therefore he must take care in all these matters.
If the patient has no appetite, roast vetches,
remove the skins, and then soak them in water for
three days, straining off the water each day and
pouring in new water; then on the fourth day strain
them off and, drying them, grind and sieve them
very fine; soak linseed, pound it smooth; do the
same with sesame, and with fine white unsalted
! Cooling is a phase of normal digestion; cf. Sacred
Disease 10 and Diseases IV 47.

meal; let there be equal amounts of the meal and

the vetches, of the sesame one third that amount,
and of the linseed one half; boil these in goat’s milk,
and let the patient drink this as a very moist gruel.
From then on, give him for breakfast fine cereals
and main dishes of the heartiest kinds; have him
drink the same wine. Also, give him roots effective
against tears: grate centaury over wine; grate
dragon arum over wine, too, and give it. For the
cough, grate dragon arum into honey, and give this
to the patient to take. If he says that he is not able
to drink gruels boiled in milk, let him drink as
much cow’s milk as he can, mixing into it a third
part of melicrat.
In this way the patient will recover most
quickly; the disease requires much treatment, for it
is severe. If the patient is not cared for after he has
recovered, and does not keep a watch over himself,
in many the disease has returned and killed them.
If the patient recovers with this treatment, fine; if
not, fatten him on milk, and cauterize his chest and
back; for, if your cautery succeeds, there is hope for
him to survive the disease.

vessels extending to the lung, the patient suffers

cough, chills and fever; he expectorates copious

white frothy sputum, sometimes charged with
blood, and pain occupies his head and neck. This
disease is severer than the preceding one, and the
patient suffers these symptoms for the first ten
days. Then, on the eleventh day, many cough up
thick pus quite violently; day by day the sputum
becomes cleaner, if the patient is to escape, he
suffers less pain, and he quickly recovers. But, if
the disease is to become chronic, he expectorates
much more pus, and the suffering in the rest of his
body is much greater; the fevers, though, are
milder than before.
If you take on this patient at the beginning,
clean him downwards with scammony juice, if he is
without fever. After the cleaning, let the patient
take the same things administered in the preceding
case. Otherwise, too, let him take the same things,
rest his body as much as possible, and sleep in a
soft bed. Have him do these things at the begin-
ning, up to the tenth day. If he suppurates inter-
nally, let him do the same things that the preceding
patient did for internal suppuration. If he recovers,
he must refrain from the following: foods and
drinks that are acid, sharp, salty and fat; he must
also avoid the same exertions that the preceding
patients avoided. If he follows these instructions,

he will get over the disease most quickly; but, if he

does not follow some of them, he runs the risk of a
relapse and the disease then being worse. Many
patients continue with a tear in their lung until
they die.
If someone does not treat this patient right
away, when the disease recurs your only means of
helping him would be to do the following: fatten
him on cow’s milk, and then cauterize his chest and
back; if your cautery succeeds, the same benefit will
result as above. This disease arises as a result of
the same insults as the preceding one.
3. This disease of the lung generally arises in
the following way: when the lung attracts blood or
salty phlegm and does not discharge it again, but it
gathers there and grows putrid, from this tubercles
are likely to form in the lung and to produce pus.
From the beginning and all through the disease
this patient suffers the following: a sharp dry
cough, chills, and fever; pain in the chest and back,
sometimes also in the side; severe orthopnoea.
These continue until the fourteenth day, often for
even more than fourteen days. Then pus breaks

expectorates material that looks like spiders’ webs,
and often sputum charged with blood. If the lung
then becomes clean and the swelling in it goes
down, there is hope of recovery; but, if it does not
stay that way, the disease stretches out over a year,
and the patient suffers different things at different
times.
At the beginning before pus breaks out, you
must administer the following te this patient:
when his fever is in remission, wash him in copious
hot water, and let him take warm gruels—boiled-
down barley-water to which boiled honey has later
been added—and drink wine that is white and
sweet, or boiled melicrat. When he once begins to
expectorate pus, have him drink the same things as
the patient above with internal suppuration, take
the same cereals, drinks and main dishes avoiding
acid, sharp, salty and fat ones, and refrain from
venery and from drinking to intoxication, except
where the latter is appropriate to the disease. Pay
attention to the patient’s condition, and attend to
whatever seems to you to require it. After the
expectoration, let him do the same things as well;
also let him drink cow’s and goat’s milk in season,
after first being cleaned out downwards with boiled
ass’s milk, and drink a three-cotyle cup of shaken
mare’s milk early every morning.

 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

If, when cared for in this way, the patient gets

better, and pus does not break out into his chest, let
him take over his own treatment, keeping his body
as quiet as possible and administering to himself
what is fitting. But if pus breaks out into his chest,
wherever the signs seem to you to point most,
incise or cauterize there and at first draw out a
small amount of pus; then continue with the same
course of treatment as in the case of internal
suppuration above.
4. If a varix forms in the lung, a dry cough,
chills and fever set in right at the beginning of the
disease. There is also orthopnoea, pain occupies
the head, the eyebrows seem to overhang, and the
face, chest and feet swell up. Often the disease
becomes fixed in the head, and from the pain, when
it is pressing, the patient cannot look up. The body
is pale-yellow, and the vessels show their course
through it by their red or dark colour.
This patient, when the case is such and pain is
pressing him intensely, first subject to a blood-
letting, and then wash him in copious hot water;
when thirst is present, give him a cyceon in dry
dark very pleasant wine to drink, mixing together
an equal amount of each; he must drink this as

cold as possible. Also, employ as gruel boiled-down

barley-water to which you have added honey.
These things you must administer in the first four-
teen days. If the disease continues longer, and
there is more pain and weakness of the body, after
the fourteen days administer to this patient, as
long as his condition is such, the same things given
for suppuration of the lung.
This disease usually arises from exertion, blood
and dark bile. (5.)! For, when the hollow vessels
extending through the lung become filled with
blood or dark bile, they break into one another and,
inasmuch as they are in narrow straits, cut off and
without any exit, produce pain and breathlessness
in the lung.
This disease is severe and requires much atten-
tion; without this, it is not willing to leave off, but
clings to many patients until they die.
6. If erysipelas arises in the lung, it is usually
from drunkenness or the consumption of too many
grey mullets and eels, for these fish contain a fat
most harmful to man’s constitution. On occasion,
the disease has also arisen from phlegm, when, on
1 From Vander Linden, the first editor to divide the
text into chapters, down to Littré, what follows has been
designated as a new chapter. I agree with Jouanna
(p. 222 n. 3), however, that Littré’s chapters 4 and 5 are
in fact parts of one and the same disease description.

being mixed with the blood, it flowed to the lung; it

may also attack as the result of eating meat, or
from a change of water.
The patient suffers the following: he coughs
violently and expectorates copious moist sputum,
often thick and white like that from a sore throat.
Sharp pains press on his chest, back, flanks and
sides, he has oxyrygmia, and from his lungs and
chest he gurgles as if from a belly. He vomits up a
sharp scum, and if you pour out the vomitus onto
the earth, it corrodes the earth as vinegar does
when it is poured on the earth. His teeth are set on
edge, and chills, fever and violent thirst are
present. If the patient is willing to eat any sub-
stantial food, it rumbles in his inward parts and
provokes vomiting; numbness comes over his whole
body. When he has vomited, for a short while he
seems to be better, but then later in the day his
cavity roars and twists and rumbles.
When the case is such treat the patient as fol-
lows: pour milk, honey, vinegar and water together
into a pot, warm, and stir in twigs of the head-
shaped marjoram; then, when this is warm, give it
to the patient to drink off, or take hold of his
tongue and pour it in gently through a pipe. Next
order the patient to cover up and to keep quiet.
Then, if vomiting comes on, let him vomit actively;
but if vomiting does not occur spontaneously, let

vomits up any phlegm, repeat the same treatment
for five days, for he will improve. Have him drink
this potion after bathing in copious hot water and,
if he is able, exercising; if he is not able to exercise,
then at least after bathing.
When the five days are up, early in the morning
let the patient drink in the fasting state silphium
juice, to the amount of a vetch, in melicrat or in
wine and honey, eat garlic and radishes, and on top
of that take dry white or dark wine unmixed with
water; let him also take these things with his meal,
and after it. If chills and fever are not present, give
dry cereals and the meat of ass or dog boiled. If
this patient is cleaned out to some extent by the
instillation, fine; if not, clean him upwards with
hellebore. After the cleaning, add honey to two
bowls of boiled meal and give him this to drink off;
let him drink the same wine well mixed with water.
If you were not present at the beginning of the
disease, first fatten the patient on milk, and then
cauterize his chest and back; for this gives him the
greater chance of recovering. If he is not cauter-
ized, the disease continues and rarely goes away,
tending in most cases to remain into old age; often
it even clings to the patient until he dies, if he does

not succumb within the first forty days. Treatment

is essential. Let the patient drink in season whey
and milk of cow, goat, ass and mare, for with this
regimen he will fare most easily; the disease is
severe.
7. If the lung swells up,! the swelling occurs
chiefly from blood, when the lung attracts blood to
itself and, taking it up, retains it; the disease
occurs mainly in summer. This is what the patient
suffers from it: there are dry cough, with chills,
fever and orthopnoea, and severe pain in the chest;
the patient dilates his nostrils like a running horse,
and protrudes his tongue as a dog does in summer
from the heat. Swelling occupies his chest, the
patient speaks little, and redness and itching settle
over his body; because of the pain, he is not able to
lie down, but is distraught and casts himself about.
This patient usually dies in seven days; if he sur-
vives these, death is rare.
When the case is such, treat the patient by cool-
ing his body with the following: immerse beets in
cold water and apply this especially to the most
painful areas; or soak rags in cold water, squeeze
1 This disease corresponds to Diseases II 58 and
Diseases III 7 (“if the lung becomes full”), and not to

them out, and apply; if the patient is relieved in

this way, fine. If not, plaster him over with cold
potter’s earth, and have him sleep in the open air.
If treated in such a way, the patient is most likely
to survive the seven days. When the seven days
have passed, if pain is still present, anoint the most
painful parts with olive oil, and apply the same
fomentations as for pleurisy. Also this: have the
patient drink, in order to clean downwards, wild
purslane, sea-spurge, and Cnidian berry; after the
cleaning, give a bowl of lentil-soup as gruel, and let
him drink water. The next day, wash him with
copious hot water, except for his head. Then have
him drink marjoram well steeped in melicrat; let
him take drinks as hot as possible. Administer the
same cereals as to a patient with pleurisy, unless
fever is present. This disease is severe, and few
escape it.
8. If the chest and back are torn apart—in most
cases this happens as the result of exertion—the
patient suffers the following: he has a sharp cough
which sometimes produces sputum charged with
blood; in most cases chills and fever supervene; in
the chest and back there is sharp pain, and in the
side there seems to be something like a stone; the
patient is pierced through by pain as if a needle
were pricking him.

 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

When the case is such, fatten the patient at once

on milk, and cauterize his chest and back; if you do
this, he will recover most quickly. From then on,
let him conduct his life in such a manner as to keep
his body very quiet; for, if he strains himself at all
by riding in a wagon or on a horse, or if he does
hard work with his shoulders, he will run the risk
of a relapse, and if this happens there is a danger
that he will perish, since the disease then presses
more forcefully than it did originally. If the patient
is not cauterized, treat him with the same things as
in internal suppuration: gruels, cereals and drinks.
In general, keep him quiet, and feed him well on
suitable foods; for, if he is cared for in this way, he
will quickly recover. The disease is severe.
9. If a tubercle forms in the side, and it sup-
purates, the patient suffers the following: he has
chills, fever and a dry cough for many days, he
aches in his side, and there are darting pains
towards his nipple, collar-bone and_ shoulder-
blades.
When the case is such, for the first eleven days
let the patient take as gruel boiled-down barley-
water to which honey has been added after the
gruel has been boiled, and drink white wine—
either sweet or dry—diluted with water; after he
has had several drinks of wine, order him to expec-
torate; prevent sleep until the eleven days have
passed. After that, let the patient take mainly
cereals in small amounts, and meats of puppy or

fowl warmed; you must boil these well into a soup,

and have the patient drink the soup. Let him drink
gruels before foods, and prevent thirst until his side
has suppurated. Usually suppuration occurs in
forty days or a little before; you will be able to tell
in this patient when he side has suppurated, for
then he no longer coughs or vomits up pus. When
the case is such, incise or cauterize the patient
wherever the signs point. Then draw off the pus a
little at a time and, when you have exhausted it,
introduce a tent of raw linen. Draw off pus again
the next day a little at a time, and then replace the
tent. Again on the third and subsequent days,
remove pus twice daily, until it dries up. Give both
cereals and main dishes whenever the patient will
take them, and let him drink a little, but only a
little, wine or water. Let him also eat much fresh
marjoram dipped in honey. If there is no fresh
marjoram, but only dried marjoram, rub that fine,
mix it thoroughly into honey, and give it in a very
generous amount. Make sure that the patient does
not have a chill, give him baths, and let him sleep
in a soft bed.
If you treat this disease in such a way, you will
very quickly bring about the patient’s recovery.
Once he has recovered, have him avoid cold, heat

and sun, and take short after-dinner walks such

that his body does not become fatigued. If the
patient follows these instructions, he will recover.
In whichever of these diseases you cauterize, apply
a plaster of many crushed leeks to the site of the
cautery immediately after the operation, and leave
it there for one day.
10. Three consumptions: the first one arises
from phlegm. When the head, on being filled with
phlegm, becomes ill and is occupied by burning
heat, the phlegm in the head putrefies, inasmuch
as it cannot be set in motion to be evacuated.
When it has become thick and putrid, and the small
vessels are overfilled, a flux to the lung occurs, and
the lung, when it takes up the phlegm, immediately
becomes ill, being irritated by the salty putrid
phlegm.
Thus, the patient suffers the following: at the
beginning, there are a mild fever and chills; the
patient has pain in his chest and back, and some-
times a violent cough also presses him; he expector-
ates copious moist salty sputum. These things he
suffers at the beginning of the disease. As it goes
on, his body grows lean, except for the legs; these
swell up, as do the feet, and the nails become
curved. In his shoulders the patient is thin and
weak; his throat is filled with a film, and whistles
as if through a reed-pipe. He has great thirst
through the whole course of the disease, and

great debility affects his body.

When the case is such, the patient wastes away
sorrily for a year, and dies; you must treat him very
actively and strengthen him. First have him drink
hellebore, and then clean him downwards with
dodder of thyme, wild purslane, Cnidian berry, or
sea-spurge; these agents must be given four times a
year: twice to act upwards, twice to act down-
wards. To clean downwards give boiled ass’s milk,
too, or cow’s or goat’s; also let the patient drink raw
cow’s milk, to which one third part of melicrat has
been added, for forty-five days, and mix marjoram
with it as well; clean the patient’s head out before-
hand by applying medication to his nostrils. Give
cereals and main dishes that are neither rich, nor
steaming like roasted meat, nor very sharp. You
must do all these things, taking as your guide the
state of the disease. Have the patient take walks in
conjunction with his meals, but be careful not to
have a chill; in winter let him take his food beside
the fire. Let him drink wine that is dry, dark, very
old and very pleasant, but in small amounts. If it
seems advisable to you to treat with vapour-baths
before the medication, still give the medication. If
you are not willing to give it, apply vapour-baths,
and then induce vomiting by means of foods as
described above. If walks are beneficial to the
patient, let him take them; if they are not, he must
keep his body as quiet as possible.

If treated in such a way, the patient will fare

best in the disease; the disease is usually mortal,
and few escape it.
11. Another consumption: this one arises as the
result of exertion, and the person suffers, for the
most part, the same things as in the preceding one;
this disease, however, makes spontaneous pauses
more often than the preceding one, and it remits in
summer. The sputum expectorated is thicker than
in the preceding disease, and the cough presses
most in the mornings. The pain in the chest is
more violent, and something like a stone seems to
be lying inside the chest; the back too is painful.
The patient’s colour is washed out and, if he exerts
himself at all, breathlessness and panting come
over him. Death from this disease usually occurs in
three years.
You must treat with the same things that you
gave to the preceding patient. This disease con-
tinues in most patients up to three years, but still
they die; for it is severe.
12. Another consumption: from this one the
person suffers the following (his spinal marrow
becomes filled with blood; or also he may be con-
sumed because the hollow vessels fill with dropsical
phlegm and with bile; patients suffer the same
symptoms no matter which of these two is the ori-
gin of their consumption): he immediately becomes
dark and somewhat swollen, the parts of his face
below the eyes are pale-yellow, and the vessels

through his body are pale-yellow and stretched, or

some are very red; especially conspicuous are the
ones in the axillae. The patient expectorates pale-
yellow sputum, and when an attack occurs he
chokes and sometimes cannot cough even though
he wants to. Sometimes, because of his choking
and eagerness to cough, he all at once vomits bile,
then scum, and often even food when he has eaten;
after he has vomited, his condition seems to be
better; but then after a short time he is again sub-
ject to the same distress as before. The patient’s
voice is shriller than when he was well, and inter-
mittent chills and fever accompanied by sweating
occur.
When the case is such, treat this patient with
foods, gruels, drinks, medications, and all the other
things that you gave to the preceding one. Gen-
erally the disease continues for nine years, and
then, being wasted away, the patient dies. Few
escape, for the disease is severe.
If you wish, treat the disease as follows: first
administer a vapour-bath; on the day after the
patient has had the vapour-bath, give him a half
chous of melicrat to which a little vinegar has been
added; have him drink this off without taking a
breath, and then cover him thickly with blankets,
and leave these on for a good long time. If he
cannot tolerate this, but wants to vomit, let him
vomit. If vomiting does not occur after a certain
time has elapsed, let the patient drink, in addition,
a large cup of warm water, and vomit by being

time arrives, have him dine on a small barley-cake,

ning from the first day, you must clean the cavity
downwards with beet- and cabbage-juice: boil these
separately, and strain off a chous of each; then mix
into each one quarter mina of fat from a sheep’s
kidney, and boil them, still separately; when the
patient is ready to drink, into the cabbage-juice
sprinkle salt, and into the beet-juice pour honey;
then have him drink each separately; alternatively
add honey to one cup and have him drink it, and
then salt to the next cup; he must drink all the
juice.
These things you must do for thirty days. In the
second month, let the patient eat bread and boiled

wine, and walk a distance of not less than thirty
stades before dinner, and after dinner ten stades;
let him keep himself covered in order to avoid a
chill. If he does these things, he will bear the
disease more easily.
In the third month, let the patient drink a
cyceon flavoured with plants: celery roots, dill, rue,
mint, coriander, fresh poppies, basil, lentil, and the
juices of sweet and vinous pomegranates, the
amount of the sweet being double that of the
vinous; there must be a half cotyle of the two juices
together, a half cotyle of pleasant dry dark wine,
and a half cotyle of water. Grind the plants fine,
soak them in this mixture, and pour into a cup.
Then add vetch-meal to the amount of an oxyba-
phon, an equal amount of barley-meal, and grate in
an amount of aged goat’s cheese equal to the
vetches. Stir all these into the cyceon, and have
the patient drink it off. Then, leaving a short inter-
val, let him breakfast on bread, take as main dish a
slice of torpedo, angel-fish, dogfish or skate, and eat
boiled mutton; let him fatten himself by keeping
very quiet; administer a vapour-bath every tenth
day.
In the fourth month, administer mild vapour-
baths every fifth day, and let the patient eat main
dishes as much as he can; as such employ cheeses

patient walk stades in the fourth month, beginning
on the first day with ten stades, and increasing
until he reaches eighty stades; then let him walk
eighty stades daily, of which twenty should be after
dinner and thirty in the morning (sc. the other
thirty between his meals).
From then on, let the regimen include eating
both barley-cakes and bread; let the patient take as
main dish selachians and eat all meats except beef
and pork; of fish, let him abstain from grey mullet,
eel and black-tail, and eat torpedo, angel-fish,
skate, dogfish, sting-ray and fishing-frog, but no
others. If he seems quite well, let him also drink a
cyceon, when he is about to retire, a two-cotyle cup
made from pleasant old dark wine; by day, let him
use this same wine with his meal. Have him walk
one hundred and fifty stades a day, of which twenty
should be after dinner and forty in the early morn-

recovers in a year.

joints of the legs, so that sometimes patients cannot

flex their hip. The stools do not pass off, but are
stopped, and the patient has dysuria. At the begin-
ning of the disease, this patient goes along quite
peacefully, but as the period of the illness
lengthens, his sufferings increase in every way.
His legs swell up as if from dropsy, and ulcers
break out in the region of the loins; while some of
these ulcers are healing, others develop.
When the case is such, clean out the patient’s
head with hippopheos juice or Cnidian berry, after
first applying very thorough vapour-baths to his
body. In the evening after the cleaning, let him
take two bowls of barley-gruel to which honey has
been added; let him drink mild white wine. On the
next day, give him eight cotylai of boiled ass’s milk
with honey, to drink off. If you do not have ass’s
milk, then give three half choes of boiled cow’s or
goat’s milk with honey. In season, also let him
drink whey and milk for forty-five days. Of cereals
and main dishes have him eat the most laxative,
and drink mild white Mendean wine. When the
person is in a state of corpulence, burn four eschars
in the lumbar region on both sides of the vertebrae,
fifteen on each side in the back, and in the neck two

between the tendons; for, if your cautery succeeds,

you will cure him. The disease is severe.
14. From the kidneys these four diseases arise.
In the first one, the patient suffers the following:
a sharp pain attacks his kidney, loin, flank, and his
testicle on the same side as the kidney; he urinates
frequently, and drips urine a little at a time;
together with the urine sand too is passed, and
when the sand discharges through the urethra, it
produces violent pain in it. When the patient has
finished urinating, the pain stops; later, though, he
labours under the same distress again. When he is
passing urine, he rubs his penis because of the
pain.
Many physicians that do not understand the
disease, when they see the sand, think the patient
is suffering from stones of the bladder, which he is
not, but rather from stones of the kidney. This
disease arises from phlegm, when the kidney takes
up phlegm into itself and does not release it, but it
solidifies there; this forms fine stones like sand.
When the case is such, clean the patient down-
wards with scammony juice or the root itself, first
applying vapour-baths to the whole body. On the

following day, clean downwards with juice from

white chick-peas to the amount of two choes; add
salt, and give this to drink. After that, treat with
drinks, food and baths, giving the same medica-
tions that are given to a patient with strangury.
When pain is pressing, wash with copious hot
water, and apply fomentations where the pain is
worst. When the affected area swells up and
becomes raised, incise then immediately over the
kidney, draw out the pus, and attend to the sand
with diuretics. For, if this person is incised, he has
a hope of survival, but if he is not, the disease
clings to him until he dies.
15. Another disease of the kidney: pains press
violently just as in the preceding disease. This
disease arises from exertion, when the vessels
extending to the kidney rupture, and the kidney is
then filled with blood. When a patient suffers this,
he passes blood with his urine, at the beginning of
the disease, and then, as time goes on, pus. If he
rests his body, he will recover very quickly; how-
ever, if he exerts himself in any way, the pains

increase greatly. Now, when the kidney sup-

purates, swelling appears beside the spine.
When the case is such, incise the patient at the
site of the swelling, making an especially deep cut
over the kidney. If your incision succeeds, you will
quickly bring about recovery, but, if you fail, there
is the danger that an ulcer requiring tents will
arise. If this ulcer unites, the cavity is made to
suppurate from within by the kidney; if the pus
formed breaks into the intestine and passes off
through the rectum,! there is hope of survival, but
if it comes to involve the other kidney, the patient
will be in danger of perishing. You must treat with
all the same medications as in the preceding case,
and have the patient follow the same regimen.
This disease is severe, and many patients have
gone on from it into a nephritic consumption.
16. Another disease of the kidney: the urine
passed is like the juice of roasted beef. This disease
arises from dark bile, when it collects in the vessels
extending to the kidney; when it has come to rest
there, it ulcerates the vessels and the kidney; thus,
because of the ulceration, material of the kind
described passes off with the urine. For a short
time, pains are present in the loins, bladder,
perineum and the kidney itself; then the attack
1 T.e. escapes from the abdominal cavity by passing
into the gastro-intestinal tract and out through the anus.

relents, but after a short period it presses sharply

again; sometimes pain also attacks the narrow part
of the belly.
When the case is such, clean the cavity down-
wards with scammony root, and give the same
things to drink that are given to a patient with
strangury. When pain is present, wash in copious
hot water, and apply fomentations where it is
worst. Let the patient drink boiled meal as gruel,
adding honey, and otherwise follow a regimen that
is strongly laxative; let him drink white Mendean
wine sweetened with honey, or some other very
pleasant one, well mixed with water. This disease
usually goes away. In season, also let the patient
drink whey, in order to bring about cleaning; in
summer, let him do this for forty-five days. If the
patient does these things, he will get through the
disease most easily.
17. Another disease of the kidney: this disease
arises from bile and phlegm, and occurs mainly in
summer; it also arises from venery. The person
suffers the following: pains press him in the side,
flank, loins, and the lumbar muscles, and he experi-
ences the same as a woman in labour. He cannot
tolerate lying on his healthy side, for the part of the
flank in which he feels pain seems to hang down

as if it were being torn away; if, however, he lies on

the affected side, he has no pain. His feet and his
legs below the knees become permanently cold.
Hardly any urine passes, because it is so hot and
thick, and if you leave it a short while, setting it
down until it deposits its sediment, you will see
that the precipitate is thick, just like meal; if bile
predominates, the sediment will appear reddish; if
the disease is from phlegm, the sediment will be
thick and white.
First, the patient goes through a year, more or
less, like this. If the illness goes on longer, his
pains increase and he suppurates internally; when
this happens, he swells up. Wherever the swelling
is greatest, incise the kidney, and draw off pus; if
your incision succeeds, you will quickly bring about
recovery.
When the case is such, treat with all the same
measures as above. At the beginning of the
disease, before cleaning downwards, apply vapour-
baths; let the patient not take many baths, but
rather be anointed with oil; he must avoid chills,
sun and venery. If he does these things, he will
quickly recover. The disease is severe.

If you wish to cure the patient without medica-

tions, whether he is suffering from this particular
disease or from one of the ones above, first fatten
him by means of his regimen; then have him divide
the cereals he is accustomed to eat into ten por-
tions, and on the first day subtract one portion and
eat the rest; as main dish let him eat ground mut-
ton; also have him walk ten stades. On the next
day, the third, and up to the tenth, have him each
day reduce the amount of cereal he eats by one por-
tion, and each day walk ten stades more. When he
has arrived at the final portion of his cereal and at
one hundred stades, let him eat only the one por-
tion, and on that day walk the hundred stades:
after dinner twenty, and early in the morning forty
(sc. the other forty between his meals). Also give
him dry white Mendean wine to drink. Let him do
this for three days. Then have him decrease his
walks for ten days, and eat more cereals, adding a
portion a day in the same way as he subtracted.
Then, let him keep as quiet as possible, be well fed
on fine cereals and very generous main dishes, and
also have all the suitable sweets; let him abstain
from vegetables, foods that are acid and sharp, and
everything that produces flatulence; let him bathe

in copious hot water, but be careful to avoid a chill.

If he does these things, he will quickly recover.
18. This disease develops out of nephritis and is
serious, involving the hollow vessels that extend
down from the head past the throat, along the
spine, to the outer malleolus of the foot and the
middle of the large toe; it arises when these vessels
are invaded by phlegm and bile, for inasmuch as
the vessels are normally filled with blood, if any-
thing else enters them, they become ill.
If the disease is on the right side, the patient
suffers the following: at first pain is present
between the acetabulum and the hip-joint. The
more time goes by and the longer the illness
becomes, the sharper is the pain and the further
down it moves; when it arrives at the outer mal-
leolus of the foot, it ascends again to the back and
the head, and when it comes to rest in the head, it
presses violently, and seems to be splitting the
head apart; the eyes fill with blood.
When the case is such, have the patient drink
squirting-cucumber juice, thapsia root, hellebore, or
scammony juice. After the cleaning, administer the

same things as to the patients above. If the disease

does not go away with this treatment, fatten the
patient on milk, and burn four eschars beside his
right shoulder-blade, three into the acetabulum of
his right hip-joint, two under his buttock, two in
the middle of his thigh, and one each above his
knee and his ankle. If a person is cauterized in this
way, it will not allow the disease to migrate either
upwards or downwards. If, however, pain breaks
out first, and, before you can cauterize, it becomes
fixed in the leg, the patient will become lame; if it
becomes fixed in the head, he will become deaf or
blind, if in the bladder, blood will be passed along
with the urine for forty days; if pain occupies the
bladder, give the same medications as to a patient
with strangury. If the pain settles somewhere else,
cauterize: burn fleshy parts with irons, osseous
and fibrous ones with fungi.!
First, however, you must do the following, if you
attend the disease at its beginning: by day give
very large quantities of white Mendean wine to
drink, slightly more dilute than normal, until the
patient bleeds through his nostrils; when this
begins, allow the flow to continue for at least

thirteen days. When these days have passed, the

patient need no longer be drunk, nor actually even
when the flow has once begun, but do have him
drink somewhat more wine than usual with his
meals, in order that the blood flow will continue. In
some patients, after the epistaxis had already
stopped, blood and pus have broken into the
bladder and passed with the urine; if such a break
occurs, give the same medications as to a patient
with strangury, and the same wine to drink, in
large amounts. This patient, if he is treated in
such a way, and he takes laxative cereals and main
dishes, will very quickly recover. The disease is
severe.
19. The corresponding disease arising from the
left vessel: generally this patient suffers the same
things as the preceding one, except that right at the
onset of the disease a sharp pain becomes fixed in
his spleen. If you discover this at once, before the
pain is firmly established in the patient’s spleen,
very quickly burn eight eschars with fungi, holding
their heads away from the spleen; wherever else
the pain settles, cauterize; if you do this, there is
immediate recovery. However, if the patient is not
cauterized, but recovers spontaneously, in many
cases the disease recurs in the twelfth year and, if
it involves the spleen, frequently produces dropsy.
Therefore, you must treat at once just as you did
the preceding patient, and, if it seems advisable,
cauterize too if pain becomes fixed in the same

organs. If the patient is not treated in this way, in

the time that follows he wastes away and dies; for
the disease is severe.
20. About phlegm I have the same views as
about bile, that there are several forms.
The common variety is present for only a very
short time, and its cure is easiest: the patient must
induce vomiting after his meals for two or three
days, and, if it has been his habit in the days that
have gone before to eat but one meal and to exert
himself strenuously, now take breakfast and keep
himself quiet; if this was not his habit, he can con-
tinue with his normal regimen, but bathe in copi-
ous hot water when he is about to induce vomiting.
Let him eat ground barley-cake and day-old well-
baked wheat bread, for these will draw the phlegm
very well; also employ sharp main dishes and
vegetables, all the suitable rich, acid and sweet
ones mixed together, and all green vegetables. Let
the patient drink a little thick sweet wine with his
meals, and at the end eat a flat-cake, honey and
figs. After he has had his dinner, have him drink
his cups rapidly and, when he is full, lie down a
little to sleep; then rouse him, give him a large cup
of wine mixed with warm water to drink, and have
him vomit; for this will better draw the phlegm and
fluid out of the tissues, and his body will be better
dried; let him continue to vomit until the figs come

up, for these are vomited up last. On the following

day, have the patient rest until dinner, and then
dine on whole-wheat bread and main dishes from
among the stronger ones; also let him drink dark
dry wine. This is the treatment for the common
variety of phlegm.
If the patient is able to eat and drink, and he
enjoys his meals, but then his legs become weighed
down, and his colour altered, you may suppose that
the phlegm of the grievous kind is present in his
cavity. When the case is such, you must clean him
out below, by using soda to the amount of a sheep’s
vertebra mixed with honey, sweet wine and olive
oil, for these things are the most agreeable to man’s
constitution as an enema; let the amounts be one
cotyle of wine and a half cotyle each of olive oil and
honey. If you do not want to use an enema, then
you must moisten the person by applying moist
vapour-baths; for, in this way, the faeces will be
rapidly emptied below. A person is affected by this
condition as the result of excessive dryness of his
foods; thus, if someone eats foods that are very suc-
culent, he will not be as likely to suffer from it, and,
even if he were to, it would require little treatment.

If you treat this patient as indicated, you will very

quickly make him well.
21. If the phlegm happens to be of longer
duration—this phlegm is called white—the person
suffers the following: he is afflicted more intensely,
and has different signs than in the common variety
of the disease; he is paler, his body swells up all
over, his face becomes red, his mouth is dry, he is
thirsty, and when he eats anything rapid breathing
comes over him. In the course of the same day, this
patient is at one time better, but at another time
suddenly suffers an attack and seems about to die.
If his belly has a spontaneous movement, he
proceeds to health very quickly.
However, if the cavity does not have a spontane-
ous movement, you must clean it out by giving
spurge-flax, Cnidian berry, hippopheos or magnetic
stone; after the cleaning, give one or two bowls of
lentil-soup with boiled garlic, to drink; also give a
bowl of unseasoned beets boiled in grease, over
which you have sprinkled meal. Let the patient
drink strong dry dark wine. On the next day, have
him walk twenty stades early in the morning, and,
on coming back, eat a small loaf of well-baked
bread, as main dish have baked garlic, and drink a
little of the same wine, mixed with a very little
water. Then let him walk thirty more stades, and,

when it is dinner time, eat as much for dinner as he

had for breakfast; as main dish let him best have
feet and head-parts of a swine; if not that, the meat
of fowl or swine—let him employ these ground and
boiled; also of fish scorpion fish, weever, piper,
star-gazer, goby or others of the same nature; of
vegetables let him employ only garlic, but of these
eat as many as possible, raw, baked and boiled.
Each day have him eat more, and also exert himself
a little more, determining how much according to
his food.
This disease occurs mainly in summer from
drinking water and from sleeping; thirty days are
the critical period that decide whether or not the
patient will die. Do the following when the thirty
days have passed: on the first days, have the
patient regularly take as gruel thin lentil-soup well
acidified with vinegar, and acid barley-water; let
him drink cool melicrat over which a little meal has
been sprinkled, in order that his body will be
relaxed for a medication; also let him sleep out-
doors on these days. If it seems advisable to you to
draw blood from the loins, apply a cupping instru-

ment and slit the widest vessels of the scrotum. If

this patient is treated in such a way, he will very
quickly recover.
22. From phlegm the most frequent change is to
dropsy: fat melts, from the burning heat of the
phlegm, and becomes water. You will know by the
following who can be healed and who not: as long
as fat is present on the patient’s abdomen, he can
be healed; and you will know, especially by the fol-
lowing, whether or not fat is present on the abdo-
men: if fevers supervene, if the patient is unable to
stand up, and if his navel is distended and pro-
trudes, then assume that fat is no longer present;
but if fever does not supervene, if the patient can
stand up, and if his navel does not protrude,
assume that fat is present, and the patient curable.
It benefits this patient if you dry out his cavity
by giving him fresh warm dark whole-wheat bread,
and as main dish the meat of ass, mature dog,
swine and sheep, these very fat and boiled, or meat
of fowl, roasted and warm; also let him eat polyp
boiled in dry dark wine; let him drink dark wine

that is very thick and sour. Of fish let him take

goby, weever, star-gazer, piper, scorpion fish and
others of the same sort, all boiled and eaten cold on
the following day; for these are generally the driest;
let the patient not dip them in sauce; the fish must
not be salted. Of vegetables have him eat radishes
and celery; also boil lentil-soup well acidified with
vinegar. Let the patient take walks each day, after
dinner and early in the morning, go to bed late, and
be awakened early. If, with this treatment, he
settles down, fine. If not, have him drink spurge-
flax, hippopheos juice, or Cnidian berry, and, after
the cleaning, take two bowls of lentil-soup and eat a
small loaf of bread; let him drink a small portion of
sour dark wine, and take a medication twice a day
until he has been opened. If swelling occurs in the
scrotum, thighs, and legs below the knees, you
must make repeated incisions with a sharp scalpel.
If you do these things, you will very quickly make
the patient well.
23. Dropsy arises in the following way: when,
in summer, a person that is thirsty drinks a large
amount of water at one draught, it is most likely to
arise from this; for when the lung becomes full, it
sends water back into the chest, and when this
enters the chest, it produces great burning heat,

so that the fat present on the bronchial tubes melts;

once this fat begins to melt very much, it soon gives
rises to dropsy. The disease also arises if tubercles
form in the lung, fill up with fluid, and rupture into
the chest. (That dropsy truly does also arise from
tubercles, here is my proof from the cow, swine and
dog: tubercles containing fluid occur most fre-
quently among quadrupeds in the lungs of these
animals, as you would very quickly discover by cut-
ting through one, for water will run out; and it
seems probable that in man such things are present
much more than in animals, since we employ a
more unhealthy regimen.) Many patients also sup-
purate internally when tubercles are present.
At the beginning, then, this disease includes the
following: a dry cough; the throat seems to whistle;
chills and fever set in, and orthopnoea; the skin is
puffy; the feet are very swollen; the nails become
curved. As long as the dropsy occupies the upper
cavity, the distress is acute, but when it moves to
the lower cavity, the patient seems better. Then,
with the passage of time, his cavity becomes dis-
tended, and he suffers the same things as the
preceding patient. Sometimes swelling appears in
the side and indicates where you must incise.

 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

If there is no indication, wash the patient in

copious hot water, take hold of him by the should-
ers, and shake him; then listen in which of the two
sides there is more fluctuation. When you have
discovered this, incise down to the bone at the third
lowest rib; then pierce right through to the inside
with a straight-pointed trephine and, after boring,
draw off a little of the fluid. When you have done
this, plug the wound with a tent of raw linen and
apply a soft sponge from above; then tie the sponge
tight in order that the tent does not fall out. Draw
off fluid once a day for twelve days. On the thir-
teenth day, remove all the fluid, and from then on,
if any new fluid forms, draw it off. Also dry out the
cavity below.
After the incision, give the following: prepare
silphium juice a drachma in weight, grate aristolo-
chia to the amount of a deer’s vertebra, and sift a
half-choinix each of the meals of parched lentils
and vetches; then knead these together with honey
and vinegar, and form into sixty trochisci. Grind
one of these down each day, soak it in a half-cotyle

of dry dark very pleasant wine, and give to the fast-

ing patient to drink. Order him to conduct the rest
of his regimen and his exercise the same as the
preceding patient. If he swells up in the genital
organs and the thighs, make incisions without hesi-
tation.
If you treat this patient in such a way, you will
very quickly make him well.
24. The next dropsy arises from the liver, when
phlegm encroaches into the liver, and the liver
takes it up and becomes moist: the liver immedi-
ately produces burning heat, and gives rise to tym-
panites, and then, after a time, it fills up with fluid.
After that, gnawing pains attack the body, and
swelling occupies the legs below the knees, and the
feet; the liver is hard and swollen, and the collar-
bones become lean.
When the case is such, if at the beginning of the
disease the patient has pain in his liver, give him
ground marjoram and silphium juice to the amount
of a vetch, soaked in a half-cotyle of white wine, to
drink. Let him also drink a four-cotyle cup of goat’s
milk, to which one third part of melicrat has been
added. Have him abstain from foods for the first
ten days—this is the critical period that decides

whether or not he will die—take gruels of boiled

barley-water with honey, and drink a white Men-
dean or some other very pleasant wine diluted with
water. When the ten days have passed, let him
take fine cereals, have as main dish the meats of
fowl boiled or grilled, and also boiled puppy, of fish
employ boiled dogfish and torpedo, and drink the
same wine.
If this brings an end, fine. If not, when the
patient has spontaneously become very robust and
his liver is at its maximum, cauterize with fungi;
for in this way you will most quickly make him
well; you must burn eight eschars.
If in dropsy there is a break into the cavity, treat
with the same things used for the preceding
patient: medications, drinks, foods, and exercises;
let the patient drink dry dark wine. If the liver
seems to you to stand out at some point, cauterize
it with an iron, and draw off fluid a little at a time
as above; for the rest, apply the same treatment. If
the patient does not recover with this treatment, in
time he will waste away and die; for the disease is
severe, and few escape it.

person eats a lot of the season’s fruits such as green

figs and apples; many persons have also taken the
disease after eating too many grapes and drinking
grape-juice.
If, then, a person is about to fall into the disease,
he is at once subject to its sufferings; for sharp
pains occupy his spleen, and also migrate to his
shoulder, collar-bone, nipple and flank, there are
violent fevers and, if the patient eats anything, his
belly is distended; his spleen swells up and is pain-
ful. If the disease becomes prolonged in this
patient, at other times of the year he is free of pain,
but, when late summer arrives and he eats its
fruits, his suffering is great.
When the case is such, at the beginning treat
the patient by giving him hellebore to clean
upwards, and spurge-flax, hippopheos or Cnidian
berry to clean downwards; also give him eight
cotylai of boiled ass’s milk with honey. If, with this
treatment, the disease settles down, fine. If not,
when the spleen is at its greatest size and most
swollen, cauterize it with fungi, holding their many
heads away from the spleen, or with irons, taking
care not to burn right through. Do these things at
the beginning of the disease. If there is no fever,
prescribe the following regimen: let the patient

him wrestle with the tips of his shoulders,'! and

also feed him well, mainly on what has been men-
tioned above.
If dropsy is present, treat it according to the
same principles and with the same things used for
the preceding patients.
26. The next dropsy arises in the following way:
if, in summer, a person on a long journey happens
upon some stagnant rain water, and drinks a large
amount of it at one draught, if his tissues drink up
the water and hold it within themselves, and if no
evacuation at all occurs.
The patient, then, suffers the following: the
water in the tissues produces burning heat in the
cavity and the body, so that the fat present in the
cavity melts. As long as the person keeps walking,
he does not seem to suffer any harm, but when he
stops and the sun goes down, he immediately has
an attack. As the disease progresses, he becomes

very lean, and, if he loses his appetite as well, even

leaner. If he eats his meals, but is unable to exert
himself, in most cases swelling occupies his whole
body; the emaciated patient’s skin becomes livid,
his belly large, and he has a violent thirst, for his
inward parts are heated by the burning heat. As
time passes, the patient is eager to eat and drink as
much as anyone will give him, and his pains go
away. However, if the swelling prevails, his skin
becomes pale-yellow, and throughout his body
extend numerous dark vessels; he is angry and
vexed with everything, even when nothing new
happens; his belly is large, full of water, and like a
lantern.! With the passage of time, the patient no
longer accepts food, since it seems to him to smell
like squirting-cucumber, because of his nausea.
When the case is such, give the patient spurge-
flax, hippopheos juice or Cnidian berry; you must
give these medications as follows: the spurge-flax
every sixth day, the hippopheos juice every eighth
day, and the Cnidian berry every tenth day; you
must give them until the patient is cleaned out and
loosened. On the days between, feed him well on
the same things given to the previous patients. In

particular, give him the same water to drink from

which he took the disease, and in large amounts, in
order that it stirs up his cavity and passes off
powerfully below; for in this way you will most
quickly make him well. If it seems advisable to
you, administer several enemas: you must grind
one half draught of spurge-flax, mix in one third
cotyle of honey, soak this in four cotylai of beets,
and then employ as an enema. The next day, give
eight cotylai of boiled ass’s milk with honey or salt,
to drink. After the cleaning, let this patient employ
the same things as the preceding ones and, on the
days between cleanings, the same foods, drinks and
walks.
This patient, if treated in such a way, will be
relieved readily of the disease within three or six
months; but if there is any negligence, and he is not
treated at once, he soon dies. Also treat the very
emaciated patient with these same measures; first,
though, you must moisten his body in advance by
applying vapour-baths, in order that he will
respond better to the medication. Treatment must
be immediate; if it is not, in most cases the disease
accompanies the person into old age. Administer
this other enema in whichever disease you wish:

27. This hepatic disease arises from dark bile,
when it flows to the liver; the disease generally
attacks in fall and at the year’s changes. The
patient suffers the following: sharp pain befalls his
liver, the region beneath his lowest ribs, his
shoulder, his collar-bone, and his nipple; there is
violent choking, and sometimes the patient vomits
livid bile; chills and fever, intense on the first days,
but then milder, set in. On being touched in the
region of his liver, the patient feels pain; his colour
is somewhat livid; the foods he had eaten previ-
ously provoke choking now, when they come into
contact with the cavity, and burning and colic.
These are the things the person suffers at the
beginning of the disease; as it progresses, though,
the fevers slacken, he becomes full on little food,
and pain persists only in the liver; there it is some-
times severe, but at other times intermittently

milder. Sometimes the pain attacks sharply, and

many a patient has suddenly given up the ghost.
It benefits this patient, when the pain is present,
to apply the same fomentations as for pleurisy.
When an attack is occurring, wash him in copious
hot water, and give him melicrat to drink, sweet or
dry white wine or whichever other one benefits
him, and the same gruels in the same amounts as
you give to a patient with pleurisy. Against the
pain you must give the following to drink: mash
the yolk of a boiled hen’s egg, pour in a half-cotyle
of nightshade juice, and add a quarter-cotyle of
melicrat made with water; mix these together and
give to the patient to drink; you will stop the pain;
give this each day until the pain ceases. Also let
the patient drink silphium juice to the amount of a
vetch; also grind marjoram, soak it in white wine,
and have him drink it thus in the fasting state;
afterwards, let him also drink the medications
given in pleurisy against pain. Also let him drink
four cotylai of goat’s milk to which one third part of
honey has been added; let him drink this at dawn,
when he is not taking the other drinks. Have the
patient abstain from foods until the disease reaches
its crisis; usually the crisis occurs ἴῃ seven

days, for in these the patient reveals whether or not

he will die.
If choking comes on, you must give the following
medication until the patient vomits: honey and
water, vinegar and salt; mix these together and
pour them into a new pot; then warm, and add
twigs of the head-shaped marjoram with their
seeds; when it is warm give to the patient to drink
off; then cover him with blankets, wrapping him so
that he will sweat heavily, and leave him. When
vomiting occurs, let him vomit actively by being
tickled with a feather. If vomiting does not occur,
make the patient provoke it by drinking, in addi-
tion, a two-cotyle cup of warm melicrat. If he
vomits up any bile or phlegm, he must do the same
every four hours, for this will help.
After the disease’s crisis, treat by giving fine
cereals in small amounts; if the patient eats bread,
let him take it very hot, if barley-cake, let it be
unpounded but mixed a while before it is baked. As
main dish, let him have boiled puppy, pigeon or
chicken, taking all these boiled, and of fish dogfish,
torpedo, sting-ray and small skates, also all boiled.
Have him bathe each day, guarding against cold,
and take short walks until he is in safety. If the

person takes care in these matters, the disease will

not recur. The disease is severe and lasts a long
time.
28. Another disease of the liver: pains press in
the same way over the liver, and the patient’s
colour is different from what it was before, being
like pomegranate-peel. This disease attacks most
often in summer, and it arises mainly from eating
beef and from drunkenness; for in that season both
of these are most harmful to the liver, and bile in
particular assails the liver.
The patient suffers the following: sharp pains
attack and, without relenting for so much as an
hour, become more and more intense. Sometimes
the patient vomits up pale-yellow bile, and, after he
has, for a short time he seems to be better. If he
does not vomit, bile settles into his eyes, which
become very yellow, and his feet swell up. These
things the patient suffers at one time more, at
another time to a lesser degree. When the days in
which this disease has its crisis arrive and the
attack relents, the patient must follow strictly the
regimen laid down in the preceding case; for, if he
becomes drunk at an inopportune time, or engages
in venery, or does anything else that is inappropri-
ate, his liver immediately becomes hard, swells up,
and throbs with pain, or if he exerts himself, he

immediately has pain in his liver and in his whole

body.
When the case is such, once the first days have
passed administer a vapour-bath to the patient,
and then clean him downwards with scammony; if
his cavity is burnt up, employ an enema containing
the same substances used in the enemas of the
patients above, choosing whichever will draw well.
After the enema, clean downwards with eight
cotylai of boiled ass’s milk: add honey and give this
to drink. Also give a four-cotyle cup of goat’s milk
early in the morning, adding one third part of meli-
crat; also two choes of boiled goat’s milk, adding
one third-cotyle of melicrat or just plain honey; also
mare’s milk administered in the same manner as
the ass’s.
If, on being treated with these measures, the
disease passes off, fine; if not, incise the inner
vessel of the bend of the right arm, and draw blood.
If it does not seem advisable to you to clean down-
wards with ass’s milk, give two cotylai of uncooked
cow’s milk daily for ten days, adding one third-
cotyle of melicrat; then give the same for another
ten days with one sixth-cotyle of melicrat; from
then on, give two cotylai of pure milk, until the
patient becomes fat. If the disease does not come to
an end thus, you must cauterize, when the liver is

largest and most protuberant, with boxwood spin-

dles; dip these in boiling oil, and apply them until
you think you have accomplished what you wanted
and the cautery is adequate; or burn eight eschars
with mushrooms. For, if your cautery succeeds, you
will make the patient well, and he will pass the
time from then on more easily. But if he is neither
cauterized successfully nor brought to health by
any of the other treatments, he wastes away after
that, and in time dies.
29. Another disease of the liver: generally this
patient suffers the same things as the preceding
one, except that his colour is dark, and the hepatic
bile, as we infer, becomes filled with phlegm and
blood, and breaks out; when this bile breaks out,
the patient very soon rages, casts himself about,
talks nonsense, and howls like a dog; his nails
become red, he cannot look up with his eyes, the
hairs of his head stand on end, and a sharp fever
supervenes.
To this patient you must administer the same
things as to the preceding ones; most die in eleven
days; few escape.
30. First disease of the spleen: this disease
arises from the heat of the sun, when bile is set in
motion and the spleen draws it to itself. The

the outset but, as the disease advances, these

abate, except at the site of the spleen itself; there
heat is always present; sharp pains also attack
from time to time, in both the flank and the cavity.
At the beginning, the patient accepts his food, but
does not pass it through very well; as the disease
progresses, his colour becomes pale-yellow, violent
pain besets him, his collar-bones become lean, he
no longer accepts his food as he did at the begin-
ning, but now becomes full on a little; on one and
the same day the spleen is at one time large, at
another time smaller.
When the case is such, have the patient drink
hellebore, and clean him downwards with Cnidian
berry; towards evening after the cleaning, give a
bowl of quite acid lentil-soup, and a bowl of beets
boiled in grease, over which meal has been sprin-
kled. On the second and third days, give a small
loaf of bread, and let the patient employ as main
dish lentil-soup with boiled ground mutton in it; let
him drink dark dry wine, quite unmixed with
water, a little at a time, and rest on these days
except for walking a little inside in the shade.
From then on, the following must be administered:
of cereals let the patient have whole-wheat bread,
as main dish ground meat of an adult dog, sheep or
goat, and Cadiz salt-fish or saperdes; administer all

the acid and salty foods, and also the sour ones. Let
the patient drink very dark sour Coan wine. Have
him abstain from foods that are sweet, fat, and that
steam like roasted meat, and do not administer
silphium, pork, grey mullet either salted or fresh,
eel, or any vegetable without vinegar. Of raw
vegetables let the patient employ radishes and
celery, dipping them in vinegar; also let him eat
meal mixed with wine, and afterwards drink pure
wine; if he wishes, let him eat bread warm, crum-
bled into wine; of fish give scorpion fish, piper,
goby, weever, and star-gazer, these boiled and cold.
Give medications to strengthen the spleen daily:
asphodel seeds, ivy leaves, goat’s horn, chaste-tree
seed, rue, or orchis root: grind whichever of these
you wish, and give it in a cotyle of wine to the fast-
ing patient. If he is able, he must saw wood for
thirty days; let him also wrestle with the tips of his
shoulders, take walks all through the day, go to
sleep late, be awakened early, and be well fed on

improve with these measures, cauterize his spleen

with fungi, making ten large eschars when the
spleen is largest and most raised; for, if you succeed
in your cautery, you will quickly make him well.
The disease requires attention, for it lasts a long
time and is severe if not cared for at once.
31. Another disease of the spleen: this one
arises from the same things as the preceding one,
but in it the patient suffers the following: his belly
is puffed up large, his spleen swells and is hard,
and sharp pains occupy it. His colour is altered,
becoming dark and yellowish like pomegranate-
peel, he smells foully from the ear, and the gums
separate from his teeth and smell foully; ulcers
very like epinyctides break out on his legs below
the knees. The limbs become lean, and stools do
not pass off.
When the case is such, treat the patient with the
same medications, foods, drinks, exercises and all
the rest. In addition, when stools refuse to pass off,
apply the following enema: a half-cotyle of honey,
and Egyptian soda to the amount of a sheep’s verte-
bra; grind these, and mix them in four cotylai of
juice boiled from beets; then administer as a
enema. If the disease does not go away with these
measures, cauterize the spleen itself, as in the

bring about recovery.
32. Another disease of the spleen: this one
occurs mainly in summer; it arises from the blood,
when the spleen becomes filled with blood, and it
breaks out into the cavity. Sharp pains befall the
spleen, nipple, collar-bone, shoulder, and the region
beneath the shoulder-blade. This patient’s colour is
leaden, and on his legs below the knees he has
scratches from which large ulcers develop; what is
evacuated with the stools passes off bloody and
wine-coloured. The belly is hard, and the spleen is
like a stone. Such a spleen is more often mortal
than the preceding ones, and few patients survive
10.
When the case is such, treat this patient with
the same things administered to the ones above,
except do not give any medication to act upwards;
to act downwards give Cnidian berry. On the next
day, give eight cotylai of boiled ass’s or mare’s milk
with honey; if not that, then add honey to one of
two cups containing two choes of goat’s or cow’s
milk, and have the patient drink from these alter-
nately; towards evening, after the cleaning, give

after his medication; if it seems advisable, draw
blood from the inner vessel of the bend of the left
arm. On the days that follow, give daily to the fast-
ing patient four cotylai of cow’s milk to which one
third part of brine has been added. Treat with the
same foods, drinks, and other measures used for
the patients above. Both this patient and the
preceding one must abstain from venery and
drunkenness. If you think it advisable, cauterize
when the spleen is thickest and largest. If you
succeed in cauterizing at the opportune moment,
you will bring about recovery; but, if the patient
does not recover with this treatment, he wastes
away, and in time dies; for the disease is severe.
33. Another disease of the spleen: this one
attacks mainly in spring. When the spleen takes
up phlegm into itself, it immediately becomes large
and hard; then it goes down again. When it is
raised, sharp pains are present, but when the swel-
ling is gone, it is free of pain. As time passes, the
disease becomes less pronounced, and after a while
the spleen comes to swell and subside again
quickly. When the case is such, at the beginning of
the disease the patient cannot accept his food; he
rapidly becomes lean, and he suffers great weak-
ness in his body. The disease, if not treated at

five months, recurs; the intermission occurs espe-
cially in winter.
If you take on this patient at the beginning,
burn ten eschars over his spleen, and you will
quickly make him well. If, however, you do not
cauterize, treat with the same medications, foods,
drinks and exercises used for the patients above;
for with these you will most quickly bring about
recovery. The patient’s skin becomes quite white,
sometimes slightly yellowish, sometimes parched.
34. Another disease of the spleen: this one
occurs mainly in autumn from dark bile; it arises
from eating many raw vegetables and from drink-
ing water. The patient suffers the following: when
the disease sets in, he has great pain in his spleen,
he is subject to chills and fever, he loses his
appetite, and his body rapidly becomes emaciated.
The spleen does not become very large, but it is
hard, and it falls against the inward parts, and
rumbles as it lies there.
When the case is such, treat this patient with
the same medications, foods, drinks, and exercises
used for the preceding ones and, if you are able,
cauterize him as you did the others. This disease
passes off quickly in most patients, if they are
treated immediately.

35. Four jaundices: the first one occurs mainly

in summer when bile is set in motion; for the bile
comes to rest under the skin and in the head, so
that the body rapidly changes colour and becomes
yellow like pomegranate-peel. The eyes are pale-
yellow, a kind of incrustation is laid down on the
scalp under the hair, and chills and fever set in; the
urine passed is pale-yellow, and a thick very pale-
yellow sediment precipitates from it. In the early
morning, before the patient has eaten, there is
rumbling in his cardia and inward parts, and, when
anyone addresses him or asks him a question, he is
vexed and grieved, and cannot bear to listen. The
stools pass off yellow and foul-smelling. When the
case is such, the patient usually dies in fourteen
days; if he survives that long, he recovers.
You must treat this patient as follows: when his
fever remits, wash him in copious hot water, give
him melicrat to drink, and have him take barley-
water gruel with honey—do not boil the honey in
the barley-water—until the fourteen days have
passed, for this is the critical period that decides
whether or not patients will die. From then on, let
the patient bathe twice a day, and feed him well,

willing to accept, and then, of course, give him
more; let him also drink white wine in large
amounts, all through the day. If, after a time has
passed, you find he is pale-yellow and weak, order
him to provoke vomiting by means of foods, as was
done in the diseases above.
If, with these measures, the disease goes away,
fine; if not, have the patient drink hellebore. After
the cleaning, in the evening let him eat soft barley-
cake or the inner part of a loaf of bread, have as
main dish chicken well-boiled into a soup with
onion, coriander, cheese, salt, sesame and white
raisins, and drink a very old dry white wine. On
the following day, clean the lower cavity down-
wards with juice from white chick-peas; you must
add honey to the juice, and let the patient drink
two choes of it.
Beginning on the third day, let the patient each
day drink water boiled from the following: boil a
pinch (the amount you take with three fingers) of
peeled roots of mulberry trees in three choes of
water until half is left; also boil a choenix of white
chick-peas in two choes of water until half is left;
when these amounts remain, strain, expose them

to the open air, mix them together, and let the

patient mix his wine with this water, and drink it;
also let him drink just the water alone, if he
wishes, in copious amounts, but no other water. If
he will not accept this beverage, prepare the follow-
ing one, and give it to him: boil a choenix of dried
white figs in two choes of water, strain, and expose
to the open air; then let the patient drink this
water, either just by itself, or mixed with his wine,
whichever he prefers. Let him drink neither a
large amount, nor too quickly, but a half-cotyle at a
time, in order that diarrhoea does not come on;
then, leaving a short space of time, let him drink
again. The following is also good to give to the fast-
ing patient to drink each day: grind fine and soak
in a cotyle of old white wine: celery seed, cucumber
seed, fennel seed, Ethiopian cummin, maiden-hair,
hypericum herb, and white raisins. If the patient
drinks this and the beverages mentioned above, he
will recover very quickly.
36. Another jaundice: this one comes on in
winter from drunkenness and chills. At the begin-
ning, first chills set in, then fever. The subcutane-
ous moisture in the patient’s body congeals with
the blood, as is clear from the following: the body is
livid and somewhat hard, and the vessels through
it are stretched, pale-yellow, larger than they were

before, and wider; other vessels are stretched and

more darkish; if you incise one of the vessels, pale-
yellow blood will flow out if the vessel was pale-
yellow; if it was dark, dark blood will flow out. The
patient will not tolerate a blanket lying against his
skin, for the itching; he is eager to walk about but,
because of his weakness, his legs collapse under
him; he is very thirsty. This disease is less often
mortal than the preceding one but, unless the
patient recovers in seven days, it goes on for a
longer time. If the disease becomes prolonged, and
the eighth or ninth month arrives, the patient falls
into bed, the disease and the pain press him more
intensely, and he is unable to get up; many sud-
denly perish at this time.
When the case is such, if you attend the disease
at its beginning, after seven days have passed have
the patient drink hellebore, and clean out his lower
cavity with juice as in the preceding diseases; give
the rest of the same medications. Give blister-
beetles, too, with their wings and heads removed:
grind four, dissolve in a half-cotyle of white wine,
immediately add a little honey, and give thus to

drink; let the patient drink this potion two or three

times a day. As the disease progresses, treat with
baths and vapour-baths. Let the patient eat what-
ever he will accept, and drink dry white wine;
otherwise administer the same things as to the
preceding patient. This disease lasts a long time
and is severe if it is not cared for at the beginning.
37. Another jaundice: this one is called “com-
mon”, because it occurs in every season; it arises
mainly from fullness or drunkenness, when a per-
son has a chill. At once, then, the body changes
colour and becomes yellow, the eyes intensely so,
and the disease invades beneath the hair and nails.
Chills and mild fever are present, the body is weak,
there is pain in the head, and the patient passes
thick pale-yellow urine. This jaundice is less mor-
tal than the preceding ones and, if treated
promptly, it passes off.
When the case is such, incise the bends of the
patient's arms, and draw blood; then apply a
vapour-bath, and have him drink squirting-
cucumber juice; clean him downwards again on the
third day with ass’s milk; otherwise give the same
gruels, drinks and foods as to the preceding patient,
and clean out the head frequently. Have the
patient drink soup made from plover, and wash

into white wine, and give this. For the rest, let the
patient follow the same regimen; he will soon
recover.
38. Another jaundice: this one arises from
phlegm and occurs mainly in winter. The patient’s
colour becomes white, and his chest fills up with
phlegm; he expectorates copious sputum and, as he
is coughing it up, he suffers from an attack of
hiccups; he passes thick white urine, and material
like meal rises to its surface. This jaundice is not
very often mortal, and the patient recovers quickly.
When the case is such, have the patient drink
Cnidian berry; after the cleaning, give him four
cotylai of barley-water gruel with honey, to drink
off. Let him clean out his upper cavity by provok-
ing vomiting as in the preceding cases; for thus will
he most easily bring up the phlegm from his lung
and bronchial tubes. Prepare frequent gargles for
him. This patient is sometimes mildly feverish and
subject to light shivering. For the rest, treat with
the same things used in the former jaundices: med-
ications, vapour-baths, baths, foods, drinks and
gruels; in this way you will very quickly make the
patient well.

39. Typhus: this disease comes on in summer,

when the Dog Star rises,! because of bile being set
in motion through the body. At once, then, sharp
burning heat and powerful fevers set in; there are
weakness and loss of control in the limbs because of
heaviness, and the patient becomes especially help-
less in his arms. The belly is set in motion, the
stools are foul-smelling, and there is violent colic.
The patient also suffers the following: if anyone
makes him stand up, he is not able to stand
straight; nor can he look up with his eyes, on
account of the burning heat; if anyone asks him a
question, although he hears, on account of his dis-
tress he cannot reply. When the patient is on the
verge of death, he sees keenly, talks confidently,
and demands something to drink and eat; if anyone
gives it to him, and he eats it, he soon gives up the
ghost, unless he vomits. The disease reaches its
crisis in this patient in seven or fourteen days, but
many patients survive for twenty-four days; now, if
they live beyond those, they have recovered, for
that is the critical period within which a patient
shows whether or not he will die.
When the case is such, treat the patient as fol-
lows: on the first days do not allow him to bathe,
but anoint him at bedtime with warm wine and oil.
Keep him away from food, but give thin chilled

him; if this wine does not benefit him, let him drink
very dilute dry white. If a violent thirst presses the
patient, give him water to drink frequently, and
order him to vomit it up; do this two or three times
in arow. When burning heat is present, dip rags in
cold water and apply them wherever the burning
seems to be most intense; if the body shivers,
though, remove the cold compresses. When this
patient is suffering most severely, he will be in
danger of dying from the pain; in order to prevent
this, give him the same medications against pain as
to a patient with pleurisy. Once the patient has got
up, strengthen him very quickly with food, drink
and baths; for the disease is severe, and few escape
it.
40. Another typhus: this disease occurs in every
season; it arises from moistness of the body, when
the tissues soak up foods that are moist and drink
that is excessive, and become stout; it is from these
things that the condition usually arises. Fever
begins, then, as a tertian or a quartan; intense pain
establishes itself in the head, and is sometimes also
present intermittently in the body. The patient
vomits sputa, belches frequently, and has pain in
the sockets of his eyes; his face becomes white, and

his feet swell up; sometimes his whole body swells

up, too. Pain occupies the chest and back; some-
times the belly is set in motion. The patient pro-
trudes his eyes greatly; he coughs up copious frothy
sputum, something seems to be caught in his throat
and to make it hoarse, and often his throat swells
up, too. When pain is pressing the patient like this,
sometimes severe orthopnoea comes on, and often,
under the strain, a patient has suddenly given up
the ghost in seven or fourteen days; but many sur-
vive for twenty-four. Often the disease suddenly
resolves, and the patient seems to have recovered;
still, he must take care until twenty-four days have
passed; if he escapes those, death is rare.
When the case is such, in the first days give the
patient as gruel thin boiled-down meal with honey;
to drink give him dark wine, a little at a time,
mixed however he wishes; let him not take cereals
until the critical days have passed, but give him
polyp boiled in wine to eat, and the sauce to drink;
let him eat many radishes. Also, roast cress seed,

grind and sift it fine, sprinkle it over sour dark

wine along with a little fine meal, and give to drink
early in the morning. Let the patient abstain from
the bath until the critical days have passed, but
anoint him with warm wine and oil at bedtime, and
wipe this off. Boil ten grains of peony seed in dark
wine, and give to drink; boil turnips well, and have
the patient drink their juice, after seasoning it with
unsalted cheese, poppy, oil, salt, silphium and vine-
gar. If you wish to have the patient drink a medi-
cation, let him drink Cnidian berry; after the clean-
ing, give him two bowls of rich boiled meal to drink
off; let him drink the same wine. Whichever of
these medications, gruels, and drinks you give, you
will do good, whether you administer one alone or
more, and you will very quickly make the patient
well. Still, the disease is severe, and few escape it.
41. Another typhus: this one arises from the
following: when bile that has become putrid mixes
with the blood in the vessels and joints, and when
this stands, swelling comes up and becomes estab-
lished, mainly in the joints, but sometimes also in
the rest of the body. This produces sharp pains,
and most patients become lame from the disease,

inasmuch as bile is cut off in their joints, and

congeals. Intermittent pains are present every
third or fourth day.
When the case is such, treat the patient as fol-
lows: when pains are present in the body, anoint
with oil, and apply fomentations; when the pains go
away, first apply a vapour-bath to the whole body
and then give hellebore. On the next day, boil
goat’s whey, and give two choes to drink, pouring
honey into one chous, and sprinkling salt over the
other one; let the patient drink these alternately,
cup for cup, until he has drunk everything off.
Towards evening after the cleaning, let him drink a
bow] of lentil-soup, and eat a bow] of beets boiled in
grease and with meal sprinkled over them; also let
him eat flesh of chicken, pigeon, turtle-dove, sheep,
or fat swine; give the hellebore every sixth day.
If the patient swells up in the joints somewhere,
and the swelling does not want to go down, apply a
cupping instrument, and draw blood; if the swelling
is in the knees, pierce into the knees with the point
of a triangular needle, but do not pierce any of the
other joints.
On the days between medications, as cereal let
the patient take very well-done bread, and

especially ground barley-cake; as main dish let him

best have broiled fowl without salt; if not broiled,
then boiled and made into a soup without cheese,
sesame or salt. Of fish let him have the fleshiest,
broiling them in the same way as the meats; or boil
them, sprinkle on marjoram, and coat them with
oil. Let the patient drink white wine, if it benefits
him; if not, then dark wine. Have him exercise by
walking every day, both after dinner and early in
the morning. Let him always drink whey and milk
in season; if it seems advisable, also give boiled-
down ass’s milk.
If a patient recovers, guard him from both cold
and stifling heat, and let him not overfill himself
with food; for there is a danger that the disease will
recur. Treated thus, the disease goes away in six
months; for that is the critical period that decides
whether or not the patient will die, if he is treated
at once. The disease is severe, and stays with most
patients until they die.
42. Another typhus: this disease arises mainly
in late summer, when a person stuffs himself on all
sorts of the season’s fruits; in many, it has also
arisen from eating flat-cake, sesame-seed cake, and
some of the others sweetened with honey, for boiled
honey is burning-hot, and adheres to the cavity.

When these foods have been boiled-down in the

cavity, they are dispersed, and all at once the belly
becomes raised and distended, and seems about to
burst; diarrhoea suddenly comes on, and when this
once begins to flow, the person is cleaned for many
days; after the cleaning, many patients have
recovered.
Now, when the spontaneous cleaning has come
to an end, compel the person to drink off three
half-choes of lentil-juice with salt. After the clean-
ing brought on by the juice, towards evening let
him drink a bow! of cold lentil-soup without salt,
but with much silphium grated over it; also, have
him eat a bow] of unseasoned beets boiled in grease
and with meal sprinkled over them, and drink dry
dark wine, a little at a time. From then on, let the
patient continue to do the same, and as cereal take
well-baked bread and especially ground barley-
cake; on the first days, let him take boiled-down
meal, cooled and with honey, and drink sour dark
wine; until the disease subsides, these are the
things he should take.
The patient that has the disease as the result of
eating late summer fruits has flatulence, colic and
pain; the fruits and foods do not want to pass off,

the patient’s belly is large and hard, and chills and

fever are present. If the cavity is set in motion
spontaneously, the person is cleaned out in twenty
days, at the soonest, and, when the cleaning stops,
he is at once well. If the cavity is not set in motion
spontaneously, clean it out with hippopheos juice or
Cnidian berry; towards evening, give the same
things as to a patient cleaned spontaneously. On
the following day, if fever is present, keep the
patient quiet, and give him some of the same wine
to drink, in very cold water; if fever is not present,
let him employ a regimen that is not moist but
quite strong, and take walks, determining their dis-
tance according to his foods. (In many cases,
dropsy has developed out of this disease.) If it
seems advisable to you to apply an enema, use the
same kind as for a patient with dropsy. If you
wish, make the following one: into a cotyle of meli-
crat shred thapsia herb; then inject. If he is treated
in this way, the patient will very quickly recover.

the moisture in the body congeals and dries up
more than it should. When a person is attacked by

appearance, like a bladder filled with urine; how-

ever, he does not swell up, but is lean, parched and
weak; the part of his body in which he becomes
leanest are the collar-bones; his face is very emaci-
ated, and his eyes are very sunken; this is what a
person generally suffers in the disease. Sometimes
the body also becomes dark in colour, and for the
following reason: when dark bile finds its way into
the small vessels and under the skin, and when
heat follows in these parts, the vessels necessarily
become over-heated and dried up, so that the blood
cannot move through them. Such a patient suffers
the following, in addition: he becomes very lean, he
seldom blinks his eyes, he chases flies away from
his blanket, he has a greater hunger than when he
was healthy, he takes pleasure in the smell of the
extinguished lamp, and he has frequent nocturnal
emissions; often semen even passes when he is
walking.
When the case is such, clean out the upper
cavity with hellebore, and the lower one with

things as to the other patients; in season give cow’s

or goat’s whey and milk, and also ass’s milk, to
clean downwards. If treated in such a way, this
patient usually recovers in two years. Let him eat
whichever foods he prefers and in as large amounts
as possible, and take walks, determining their dis-
tance according to his foods. This disease attacks
persons over twenty years of age; when it does, if
they are not cared for at the beginning, it continues
and does not go away before another twenty years
have passed; then, in some, if treated, it passes off.
The disease is severe.
44. The following diseases are called ileuses.
They arise, in most cases, from the following: if, in
winter, a person employs a hot, moist diet and does
not exercise by taking walks in accordance with his
food but goes to bed in a full state, and is then sud-
denly obliged to walk a long distance when it is
cold, and then gets chilled to the bone, he suffers
the following: tympanites develop in his whole
body, his colour becomes leaden, and he has a per-
petual chill, so that even when hot water is poured
over him he does not think it is hot. When he is
bathed, his body is excoriated by the hot water,

especially his scrotum. If you press his body at any

point with your finger, indenting it, it receives your
impression there as if in dough; it is most indented
in the feet. The patient’s legs are heavy; if he
walks about, he trembles; if he walks up a grade,
he pants violently. His forearms seem to hang
down, he has a headache, his eyebrows seem to
overhang, thirst is present during the nights, and
his food passes off undigested, just as he ate it.
When the case is such, apply vapour-baths to the
patient, and give him spurge-flax, hippopheos, or
Cnidian berry to drink. After the cleaning, give the
same things as to the preceding patients. On the
following day, twice give a chous of boiled ass’s
milk with salt, for the patient to drink off, and
towards evening have him eat for dinner bread and,
as main dish, boiled mutton and polyp boiled in
dark wine, and drink the sauce too; also let him
have lentil-soup prepared thus: boil a cotyle of len-
tils and mash them fine; then mix in meal, shred in
silphium, and add salt; add vinegar, and boil in
garlic; over this pour water, bring to a boil two or
three times, and stir together; then let the patient

take this and eat it as a main dish; it should not

be too thick; also add boiled penny-royal, for the
aroma. On the days between medications, let the
patient induce vomiting every sixth day. You must
apply vapour-baths, now and then, before the
patient vomits and before he drinks his medication.
Every third day, let him bathe, if it helps; if not, let
him be anointed; also let him take walks, if he is
able, determining their distance in accordance with
his food. Boil leaves of the elder tree and of the
fleabane that is always tender, and give these to
the patient to drink.
Treated in this way, the patient will fare best,
and the disease will go away in a year. In many
who had already recovered, the disease has
recurred after two years; if it does recur, you must
employ the same treatment. If it recurs a third
time, swelling is not present, but the patient
becomes lean and emaciated; he begins by losing
flesh from his face, and his colour becomes very
white, even whiter than before; sometimes dropsy
develops in the cavity; if it does, you must not make
an incision; for, if you do, the patient will die;
instead, treat with the measures used in a dropsy
arising from the spleen. Much prefer to take this
patient for treatment at the beginning of the
disease, for then you will quickly make him well.
The disease requires care, for it is severe.

45. Another ileus: this one occurs mainly in

summer, in swampy areas; in most cases, it comes
on as the result of drinking water, but many per-
sons have also taken the disease from sleeping
exposed to the sun when they had a headache. In
this disease the patient suffers the same things as
in the preceding one in everything else except his
colour; for he becomes yellow like pomegranate-
peel, and his eyes, too, are sometimes filled with
jaundice.
When the case is such, treat this patient with
the same things used for the preceding one; in addi-
tion, give water boiled from white chick-peas to
drink, this also mixed with wine; clean out the head
with square-berry. This disease is less often mortal
than the preceding one. It is called icteric ileus.
46. Another ileus: generally this patient suffers
the same things as the preceding ones, except that
the disease begins in late autumn, and includes the
following things in addition: the patient smells
foully from the mouth, the gums separate from his
teeth, and blood flows from his nostrils. Sometimes
also ulcers break out on his legs—and while some
heal, others develop—his colour is dark, and his
skin is thin; the patient is eager to walk about and
to exert himself.

When the case is such, treat this patient with

the same things used for the preceding ones.
Administer an enema composed of the following:
grind fine five leaves of squirting-cucumber, and
add a half-cotyle of honey, a handful of salt, a half-
cotyle of oil, and four cotylai of juice boiled from
beets. Also give eight cotylai of boiled ass’s milk
with honey, to clean downwards. In season let the
patient drink cow’s milk for forty-five days: let him
drink! two cotylai of cow’s milk with one third-
cotyle of melicrat early in the morning on the days
between medications. This disease requires much
attention; otherwise, it does not go away, but clings
to the person until he dies. It is called sanguinous
ileus.
47. The following diseases are called the “thick
ones”; they arise mainly from the following: when
phlegm and bile mix with one another through the
body, they are inclined to collect in the cavity, and,
when they collect there, they raise the cavity up,
and fluctuate both upwards and downwards. Chills
and fever come on, and pain establishes itself in the
head; when pain enters the inward parts, it pro-
duces choking; at once the patient vomits up a
sharp or sometimes salty scum, and after he has

vomited his mouth has a pungent taste. In the

sides, red patches appear; for, inasmuch as phlegm
is present in the cavity, blood attracted by the heat
of the phlegm falls against the sides and produces
red patches in them; itching and heat are also
present, particularly in the sides. The patient’s
back becomes crooked, and, when his suffering is
most severe, he will not tolerate his body being
touched, for he feels pain as if in an ulcer. His
muscles quiver from pain, his testicles become
ulcerated,! and heat and pain attack the posteriors
and bladder. The patient passes thick urine simi-
lar to dropsy fluid, hair falls out of his head, his
legs and feet are perpetually cold, and pain presses
most intensely in his sides, back and neck; he
imagines that something is crawling over his skin.
At one time the disease presses more intensely,
at another it relents; however, as it progresses, it
tends to press more and more continuously. The
skin of the head becomes thick and red. Such a
patient goes on suffering in this way until the sixth
year; then copious foul-smelling sweat pours down.
Also, in his sleep he often passes somewhat livid
semen charged with blood. This disease arises

because of the heat of the sun, and from drinking

water.
When the case is such, clean the patient down-
wards by giving spurge-flax, Cnidian berry or hip-
popheos. Also, give him eight cotylai of boiled ass’s
milk with honey to drink; on the day after the
cleaning, give the same things as were given to the
other patients. On the first days, let the patient be
well fed on the same foods as a person with dropsy,
and exert himself by taking walks, if he is able; if,
on account of his fevers, he is not able to take
walks, and if he cannot eat regular foods, let him
employ lentil-soup as gruel, and drink dry dark
wine. This disease has its accesses mainly in fall
and later summer. If the patient is not treated dur-
ing the six years, the disease continues until the
tenth year; in many, it even clings to them until
they die, if it has not been treated immediately.
48. Another “thick” disease: this one arises
from bile, when bile collects in the liver, and also
settles in the head. The patient suffers the follow-
ing: his liver swells up and, by its swelling,
expands against the diaphragm; pain immediately

attacks his head, especially the temples; he does

not hear clearly, and often he cannot see, either;
shivering and fever set in. These things affect the
patient at the beginning of the disease; they occur
intermittently, sometimes more intensely, some-
times less so.- The longer the disease goes on, the
more pain there is in the body. The pupils of the
eyes are dilated, the patient sees dimly, and if you
bring your finger up to his eyes, he does not per-
ceive it, because he cannot see; this is how you can
tell that he does not see: he does not blink when
the finger is brought near. He removes pieces of
wool from his blanket, if he does see them, believ-
ing they are lice. When his liver expands even
more against the diaphragm, the patient becomes
deranged; there seem to appear before his eyes rep-
tiles and every other sort of beasts, and fighting sol-
diers, and he imagines himself to be fighting among
them; he speaks out as if he is seeing such things,
and he attacks and threatens, if someone will not
allow him to go outside; if he does stand up, though,
he cannot lift his legs, but falls. His feet are per-
petually cold; when he goes to bed, he starts up out
of his sleep on seeing fearful dreams. We know
that his starting up and fear are due to dreams,

from the following: when he comes to his senses, he

reports having had dreams that correspond to the
way he moved his body and spoke with his tongue.
These things he suffers as described. Sometimes,
he may also lie speechless the whole day and night,
taking frequent deep breaths. When his derange-
ment ceases, he immediately regains his senses,
and, if someone questions him, he answers
correctly and understands everything that is said.
But then, a little later, he labours again under the
same distress. This disease usually attacks abroad,
if a person is travelling a lonely road somewhere,
and fear seizes him, although it does also occur
under other circumstances.
When the case is such, then, give the patient five
obols weight of black hellebore to drink in sweet
wine. Or administer an enema as follows: Egyp-
tian soda to the amount of a sheep’s vertebra, grind
this fine; mix it together in a mortar with a half-
cotyle of the finest honey you have, boiled, a half-
cotyle of oil, and four cotylai of juice boiled from
beets and exposed to the open air; if you wish,
instead of the beet juice add boiled ass’s milk; mash
these together, and administer as an enema,
whether fever is present or not. As gruel let the
patient take boiled-down barley-water with honey;

let him drink a mixture of honey, water and

vinegar until the disease reaches its crisis, which is
in forty days at the longest, these deciding whether
or not the patient will die. In many, the disease
has recurred after it had gone away; now, if it does
recur, there is a danger that the patient will perish.
If it recurs, the disease has its crisis in seven days,
which decide whether or not the patient will die. If
he escapes these, he is not likely to die, but in most
cases, if treated, the disease goes away. When the
disease is over, let the patient follow the regimen of
cautiously increasing his intake as much as his
cavity is able to accept without becoming burnt up
or without diarrhoea coming on, for these are both
held to be dangerous. Let him bathe each day, and
walk about a little after his meals; let him have
foods that are light and mild, and drink milk and
whey in season for forty-five days. If he does these
things, he will very quickly become well. The
disease is severe and requires much care.
49. Another “thick” disease: this one arises
from putrefied phlegm; the following shows that the
phlegm is putrid: the patient’s belches have an
odour, from the phlegm, like those of a person that
has eaten radishes. This disease begins from the
legs, then migrates from the legs into the cavity,

and, when it has arrived in the cavity, it migrates

again to the inward parts; when it has settled in
the inward parts, it rumbles and provokes vomit-
ing, and with it a sharp somewhat putrid scum;
after he vomits, the patient is no longer himself.
There is distress in the inward parts, and some-
times sharp pain also suddenly fixes itself in the
head, so that the patient can neither look up with
his eyes, nor hear with his ears, from its gravity.
Sweat pours down copious and foul-smelling, espe-
cially if the pain is present, though also when it
abates, and particularly at night. The patient’s
colour becomes very jaundiced. This disease is less
mortal than the preceding one.
When the case is such, clean the patient’s cavity
downwards with hippopheos, and upwards with
hellebore; clean out his head with square-berry.
When he has been cleaned with the hellebore, the
next day clean him downwards with boiled ass’s
milk, the third day with boiled goat’s milk, and also
the fourth and fifth; for twenty more days give raw
cow’s or goat’s milk, adding one third part of meli-
crat; let him drink a chous of this milk. After the
cleaning, let the patient receive the same medica-
tions as a patient with dropsy; from then on, let

and, as main dish, scorpion fish, star-gazer, piper,
or a slice of angel-fish boiled in seasonings, or
boiled meat of sheep or chicken; let him drink white
wine, if it benefits him; if not, then a different sort
of dry dark wine. Then let him go for short walks
after dinner, taking care not to have a chill. If it
benefits this patient, give him food, but if food does
not benefit him, give barley-water or millet gruel.
In this disease, if thirty days pass, the person
recovers, for this is the critical period that decides
whether or not he will die. The disease is severe.
50. Another “thick” disease: this one arises
from white phlegm, which congeals in the cavity
when longstanding fevers beset the body. The
disease begins with a swelling of the face; then it
moves down to the cavity and, on becoming estab-
lished there, raises the belly up large; the body
suffers weariness, as if from exertion; in the cavity
there is heaviness and a violent ache; the feet
swell. When it rains, this patient cannot stand to
smell the earth and the dust; if he happens to be
standing in the rain, and he smells the earth, he
immediately falls down.

This disease, even though intermittent, attacks

for a longer time than the preceding one, and is
relieved later. You must treat with the same
things prescribed for a patient with dropsy:
vapour-baths, medications, foods and exercises.
The disease usually continues for six years; then, if
cared for, it gradually goes away, even if at first it
was not treated; the disease is severe, and requires
much care.
51. Sciatica generally arises from the following,
in the majority of cases: if a person is exposed to
the sun for a long time, and his hip-joints become
heated, and the moisture present in them is dried
up by the burning heat. My proof that the moisture
is dried up and congealed is this: the patient can-
not turn and move his joints, because of the pain in
them, and because the vertebrae have become fixed.
He has pain especially in the loins, in the vertebrae
that grow out of the oblique part of the hip-bone,
and in the knees. Sharp burning pain persists
longest in the groins, and also in the hip-joints; if
someone stands the patient up, or shifts him, he
cries out at the top of his voice from the pain. Also,
sometimes a convulsion supervenes, or chills and
fever. The disease can arise from bile, but also

from phlegm and blood; the pains from all of these

diseases are similar; sometimes mild chills and
fever are present.
You must treat the patient whose illness is from
the sun thus: moisten his body with a vapour-bath,
and by means of foods, drinks and other things you
give; give these warm and moist, all of them boiled.
As cereal let him employ soft unkneaded barley-
cake, and drink white wine well mixed with water.
Let him rest his body; if he is able to stand up, let
him take short walks, but avoid having a chill; let
him bathe each day with very little water. When
the patient seems to you to be in a good state, and
moist of body, apply a very gentle vapour-bath; for
that will be effective in moistening and resolving
the congealed matter from his joints. Then on the
next day have him drink Cnidian berry. If this
does not help, you must clean him with the follow-
ing enema: grind a half-cotyle of cummin, bray an
uncut bottle-gourd of the small round kind in a
mortar, sift the fourth part of a mina of red Egyp-
tian soda as fine as possible, roast, grind fine, mix

oil, a half-cotyle of honey, a cotyle of sweet white
wine, and two cotylai of beets; boil these until you
think they have the proper consistency; then strain
through a linen cloth, and add a cotyle of Attic
honey to them, if you do not wish to boil the honey
together with them; if you do not have Attic honey,
mix in a cotyle of the best kind you have, and boil
in a mortar; if the fluid is too thick, pour in some of
the same wine, judging according to the thickness;
administer as an enema. Allow the patient to be
cleaned out for three days; however, if the cleaning
goes on for longer, give him three cotylai of cow’s or
goat’s milk to drink off. Then give him beets boiled
in grease to eat, without salt, but generously sprin-
kled with meal. From this disease many persons
have become lame.
If the disease has arisen from bile, have the
patient drink hellebore to clean downwards, or
scammony juice; after the cleaning, as gruel give
him two bowls of barley-water with honey, to drink
off. On the next day, or the day after that, adminis-
ter a vapour-bath, and clean downwards with
boiled ass’s milk; towards evening, let the patient
eat three bowls of beets boiled in grease and sprin-
kled with meal; let him drink a sweet white wine
diluted with water, both now and after the medica-

 INTERNAL AFFECTIONS

If the patient’s illness is caused by phlegm,

administer a vapour-bath, and have him drink Cni-
dian berry or hippopheos; after the cleaning,
administer the same gruels, potions and milk-
drinks. On the days between, let him follow as
light a regimen as possible. If he is benefited by
these things, fine; if not, cauterize him, the osseous
parts with fungi, the fleshy ones with irons, making
many deep eschars.
If the patient’s illness is caused by blood, after a
vapour-bath apply a cupping instrument and phle-
botomize the vessels in the ham; if it seems advis-
able, also have him drink Cnidian berry. Let him
follow a very dry regimen; wine he had better not
drink, but if he does drink it, let it be very little and
very dilute. Order him to take walks, if he is able,
and as many as possible; it also benefits the person
ailing because of phlegm to do the same. If this
patient cannot stand up, you must turn him over in
bed very frequently—all patients alike, whatever
the source of their sickness—in order that the car-
tilage within does not grow together; if it does grow
together, and the joints become fixed, the patient
will inevitably become lame. If you wish to admin-
ister an enema to the patient whose disease is
caused by blood, in order to draw blood and phelgm
out of his hip-joints, you must employ the following
one: grind a handful of salt, mix together with it

you treat in this way, you will very quickly make
the patient well. The disease lasts a long time.
52. Three tetanuses: if tetanus follows a wound,
the patient suffers the following: his jaws are fixed,
and he is unable to open his mouth; his eyes shed
tears and look awry; his back becomes rigid; he
cannot bend his legs, nor his arms and spine.
When he is near death, sometimes both the drink
and the food that he has taken earlier come up
through his nostrils.
When the case is such, treat the patient with
vapour-baths, anoint him generously with oil, and
warm him in firelight from a distance; anoint his
body, and apply fomentations. Grind wormwood,
bay leaves, or henbane seed with frankincense;
soak this in white wine, and pour it into a new pot;
add an amount of oil equal to the wine, warm, and
anoint the patient’s body copiously with the warm
fluid, and also his head. Then, laying him down in
a basin, make his tissue... ,! and clothe him in
clean soft blankets, in order that he will perspire
profusely. Give him warm melicrat, if he is able to
take it, through the mouth; if he is not able, pour it
into his nostrils; also give him very sweet white

these things each day until the patient recovers.
The disease is severe, and requires immediate
attention.
53. The patient with opisthotonus suffers, on
the whole, the same, but the disease arises when he
is affected in the posterior tendons of the neck; his
illness arises from angina, from staphylitis, or from
a suppuration occurring in the parts about the
tonsils; also, in some cases, such a convulsion ori-
ginates from the head, when there are fevers; occa-
sionally it also follows wounds. This patient is
drawn backwards, and cries aloud from the pain in
his back and chest; he is drawn so forcefully that
the attendants can hardly prevent him from falling
out of bed. In the course of one day, he often
suffers severely, but at other times goes along more
easily.
Administer to this patient the same things as to
the preceding one. The disease continues for forty
days, at the longest; if the patient survives these,
he recovers.
54. The following tetanus is less often mortal
than the preceding one, but it arises from the same
things; many people have also taken it by falling
backward. Now the patient suffers the following:
he has a convulsion equally through his whole
body; sometimes, though, the convulsion is just in
some random part of the body. At first, he walks
about; then, after a time, he falls into bed; then the

pain and convulsions remit again; then, if he gets

up and goes about for a few days, he labours once
more under the same pains. This is the nature of
his symptoms and how they continually change. If
the patient eats anything, it does not pass off below
or, if it does, only a little, and that burnt up; more
likely, he retains his food in his chest, and it pro-
vokes choking.
Treat this patient with the same things as the
preceding ones, and you will very quickly make him

REGIMEN IN ACUTE DISEASES

(APPENDIX)
 INTRODUCTION!

This piece of text is a continuation of Regimen in

Acute Diseases (Loeb Hippocrates, 11. 57-125). The
manuscript A introduces it as “the spurious addi-
tion to Barley-Gruel”,? M and V as the “beginning of
the spurious part”.
Erotian lists Barley-Gruel (Περὶ πτισάνης)" among
the therapeutic writings of Hippocrates and, from
the words he includes in his glossary, it is clear
that he accepts the Appendix as a part of the work.*
Galen has left us a long commentary on Regimen
in Acute Diseases including the Appendix. In the
introduction to the part of his commentary devoted
to the Appendix, he discusses the various argu-
ments that were advanced in his time for and
against authenticity.°
Athenaeus quotes a word from:
1 The transmission of the text of this treatise is dis-
cussed above, p. xi f.
2 Galen too knew this title; see Kiihn VII. 913.
3 Nachmanson p. 9.

REGIMEN IN ACUTE DISEASES (APPENDIX)

Hippocrates in Barley-Gruel, which is half spuri-

ous, or according to some wholly. . . .!

Caelius Aurelianus makes reference to several

passages from the Appendix, four times citing Hip-
pocrates’ book Against the Cnidian Maxims,? and
once Hippocrates’ On Regimen.* From this, it would
seem that he did not distinguish between “genuine”
and “spurious” parts of Regimen in Acute Diseases.
Modern discussion on the relationship of the two
parts is summarized well by Joly in the introduc-
tion to his edition.*

About the Appendix as a treatise, there is little

to say. Its chapters, although for the most part
internally coherent, bear little relationship to one
another, and, except for certain poorly defined cen-
tres of interest (e.g. in 1-18 nosology; in 19-29
semiology; in 43-50 dietetics), no ordering principle
is discernible. It is not known how the treatise
came into its present form.

1. Ardent fever occurs when the small vessels

are dried up in summer, and attract sharp bilious
sera; there is great fever, and the body, as if from
toil, suffers weariness and pain. This disease usu-
ally follows a long journey and prolonged thirst,
when the vessels, being dried up, attract sharp hot
fluxes. The tongue becomes rough, dry and dark,
the patient has a gnawing pain about the belly, and
his evacuations are watery and pale yellow; great
thirst is present, sleeplessness, and sometimes also
aberrations of the mind.
Give such a patient water and dilute boiled meli-
crat to drink, as much as he wants. If his mouth is
bitter, it helps to have him vomit, and to clean out
his cavity by means of an enema; if, with this, the
cavity is not opened, clean it with boiled-down ass’s
milk. Administer nothing salty or sharp, for the
patient will not tolerate it; do not give gruels until
he is beyond his crises. If blood flows from the

nose, the affection is resolved; also if true critical

sweats supervene, accompanied by thick white
urines having a fine sediment, and also if an
abscess forms anywhere. If it is resolved without
these, there will be a recurrence of the ailment, or
pain in the hip or legs will follow. If a patient is
going to recover, he will also expectorate thick
sputa.
2. Another kind of ardent fever: the cavity in
downward motion, full of thirst; tongue rough, dry,
salty; stoppage of urine; distress; extremities cold.
In such a patient, unless blood flows from the nose,
or an abscess forms about the neck, or there is pain
in the legs, and he expectorates thick sputa—these
things happen when the cavity is contracted—or
unless pain arises in the hips, or there is lividness
of the genital organs, the disease does not reach a
crisis; a testicle being stretched tight is also an
indication of crisis. Give gruels that attract.!
3. The acute affections you treat with phlebo-
tomy, if the disease seems to be severe, and
patients are at the height of their youth and
strength. If it is a case of angina, clean upwards
with a lozenge, if some other disease, employ the
treatment used in pleurisy.” If patients appear too
weak, or you have drawn much blood, use an
enema for the cavity every other day until the
patient reaches safety, and fasting if he should
require it.

4. Swelling of the hypochondrium, tension of the

diaphragm from the stoppage of air, blockage of air
in dry orthopnoea—in patients without suppura-
tion, but in whom these affections are due to a stop-
page of air—severe pains in the liver, heaviness of
the spleen and other phlegmasias, and severe pains
and disease complexes above the diaphragm can all
not be resolved if a person undertakes first to treat
with medications; but phlebotomy is the master of
such things. Then an enema, unless the disease is
great and severe; if it is great and severe, the
patient must employ a medication later as well; the
use of medications after phlebotomy requires cau-
tion and moderation.
5. Those who undertake to resolve swellings at
the beginning of diseases, by using medications,
draw off nothing of what is stretched and
swollen—for the affection does not go away as long
as it is unmatured—but consume the healthy ele-
ments that are resisting the disease. The body
weakens and the disease is victorious, and when
the disease wins out over the body, such a thing is
incurable.
6. Suddenly becoming speechless: stoppage of
the vessels produces this evil, if it befalls a healthy

potent cause. Phlebotomize the inner vessel of the

right arm and draw blood, reckoning whether more

or less according to the patient’s condition and age.
The following occur in most cases: red patches on
the face, fixation of the eyes, spreading of the
fingers, grinding of the teeth, throbbing, closing of
the jaws, and coldness of the extremities.
7. Stoppage of air through the vessels: when
pains come on, affluxes of dark bile and sharp fluids
are occurring; the patient suffers gnawing pains in
his inward parts. The vessels, being irritated and
too dry, stretch tight, swell up, and attract the
fluxes; from this, since the blood becomes disor-
dered and the air is no longer able to follow its nor-
mal paths through the blood, chills occur as a result
of stasis, along with darkening of the vision, loss of
speech, heaviness of the head, and even convul-
sions, if the fluxes have already reached the heart,
liver, or vessel’; from this, patients become epilep-
tic or are paralysed, if the fluxes invade the sur-
rounding parts and are dried up because air cannot
pass through.
8. After first subjecting such patients to a
vapour-bath, you must phlebotomize right at the
onset, while all the injurious fluids are unsettled;

or the vena cava. 269

for in this state the condition is more easily helped.

Then restore the patient and, paying attention to
his crises, employ a medication to clean him
upwards, unless he has already been lightened.
For the lower cavity, unless it has been evacuated
by means of an enema, give boiled ass’s milk; let
the patient drink not less than twelve cotylai; if he
is quite strong, even more.
9. Angina arises when, in winter or spring, a
massive viscid flux occurs from the head into the
jugular vessels, and these, because of their wide-
ness, attract the increased flow. When the flux,
which is cold and viscid, stops up the passage-ways
that carry air and blood by blocking them, being by
nature cold and obstructive it coagulates whatever
blood is nearby, making it fixed and still. Because
of this, choking occurs, as the tongue becomes livid,
globular, and rigid from the vessels underneath it;
for on each side of the pendant uvula, which they
call the little pillar, there is a wide vessel; when
these vessels become filled, they fix themselves in
the spongy rarified tongue, and it, being dry,
accepts the moisture coming to it under force from
the vessels: from flat, it becomes globular, from
normal-coloured, livid, from soft, hard, and from
flexible, rigid. Thus patients rapidly suffocate,

unless someone quickly helps them by phlebotomiz-

ing from their arms, by cutting the vessels under
their tongue, by administering medications in the
form of lozenges, by having them gargle hot liquids,
and by shaving their head. Also apply wax-salves
around the neck, and wrap it with wool; foment the
patient with soft sponges dipped in warm water
and squeezed out. Have him drink warm water
and melicrat. When he is safely past the crisis,
administer barley-water.
10. Another form of angina: when, in summer or
fall, a hot flux descends from the head, and it is like
soda, being sharp and hot like this because of the
season, it irritates, produces ulceration, and
inflates; orthopnoea and great dryness prevail; the
visible part of the neck does not appear swollen; the
posterior tendons of the neck are pulled tight, the
person seems to be convulsed, his voice is broken
off, his breath is slight, and the ebb and flow of air
is frequent and laborious. Such patients become
ulcerated in the bronchial tube, inflated in the
lung, and are incapable of drawing in air from the
outside. Unless this condition moves spontane-
ously into the outer parts of the neck, it is quite ter-
rible and difficult to get rid of, because of the

11. If fever occurs in a person that has just
eaten, while old fecal material was still present in
his body, whether there is pain in the side or not,
have him rest until the food first passes down into
his lower cavity; as drink give oxymel. When a
heaviness arrives in the loins, clean him down-
wards with an enema or medication. After the
patient has been cleaned, first employ a regimen of
gruel and, as drink, melicrat, then cereals and
boiled fish, and towards night a little dilute wine;
during the day give dilute melicrat. If the flatus is
foul-smelling, employ a suppository or an enema; if
not, have the patient continue to drink oxymel until
the food descends into his lower cavity, and then
evacuate it with an enema.
12. If, on the other hand, ardent fever attacks a
person that is in a state of emptiness, and it seems
suitable to you to administer a medication, do not
do so for three days; after you have given the medi-
cation, employ gruels; be careful to avoid the parox-
ysms of fever, so as never to make administrations
when fevers are incipient, but only when they are
declining or stopped, and as far as possible from
their onset.

13. When the feet are cold, do not give drink,

gruel, or anything else of the sort, but consider it
most important to pay heed until they become quite
warm; only then apply the fitting treatment; for
usually coldness of the feet indicates that the fever
is about to grow virulent, and if you make an
administration at that moment, you will be com-
mitting all the greatest mistakes, since you will
increase the disease by no small measure. When
the fever diminishes, the opposite happens, and the
feet become hotter than the rest of the body. For
fever increases by cooling the feet, by being kindled
from the thorax, and by sending its flame up into
the head; when the heat has all collected together
into one mass above, and steamed up into the head,
the feet naturally become cold, since they have but
little flesh and are cord-like in structure. They are
chilled even more by being far away from the hot-
test area, since the heat is collected in the thorax.
Conversely, when a fever is resolved and gradually
diminishes, heat descends into the feet; about that
time, the head and thorax cool down.
14. For this reason food is not to be given at
that time, for when the feet are cold, it necessarily
follows that the upper cavity is hot and much filled

with nausea, the hypochondrium stretched, and the

body restless because of its internal upheaval,
swelling, and pain; the patient retches and wants
to vomit, and if he vomits up things that are injuri-
ous, he suffers pain. When, however, the heat des-
cends into the patient’s feet, and he passes urine,
even if he does not sweat he recovers from every-
thing. Take this opportunity to give gruel; before
then it would be fatal.
15. In patients whose cavity remains moist all
through their fevers, attend especially to the feet by
warming them, by wrapping them in wax-salves,
and by winding them with strips of linen so that
they will not be colder than the rest of the body. If
they are warm, do not employ any measures to
warm them, but take care of them in order that
they do not become cold. As drink, use a very little
cold water or melicrat.
16. Cases in which the cavity is moist and the
mind disturbed: most of these patients pluck off
bits of wool, pick their noses, answer shortly what-
ever is asked, but of their own accord say nothing
sensible; such things seem to me to be due to dark
bile. If, in such patients, the cavity is moist, I hold
it advisable to administer gruels that are very cold
and thick, and drinks that tend to constipate, both
the more vinous or even the more astringent.

17. In fevers accompanied from the beginning

by vertigo, throbbing in the head, and thin urine,
wait for the crises when the fever has its paroxysm;
it would come as no surprise if such patients even
lose their wits. In those whose urines are cloudy
and thick at the beginning, clean downwards if the
other signs are propitious. In those whose urines
are thin at the beginning, do not employ medica-
tions but, if it seems advisable, an enema. It
benefits such patients to treat them as follows:
have them keep their bodies at rest, and anoint and
wrap them carefully. As drink give dilute melicrat,
and as gruel barley-water, towards evening. Eva-
cuate the cavity at the beginning with an enema,
but do not administer medications to these
patients, for if you set anything in motion through
the cavity, the urine does not become mature, and
the fever will continue without any sweating or
crisis for a long time. When the patient is close to
his crises, do not give gruels if he is troubled, but
only if the fever is remitting and he is changing for
the better. You must also pay attention to the
crises in other fevers, and discontinue gruels at
those times. Fevers of this sort tend to become long
and, if the lower regions are cold, to include
abscesses about the ears and neck; if the lower
regions are not cold, other resolutions occur: blood

flows from the nose of such patients, and the cavity

is set in motion.
18. Those who, during fevers, suffer from
nausea and draw their hypochondrium tight, who
on lying down cannot keep still, and whose extremi-
ties are all cold, require the greatest care and
attention. Proceed with such patients by giving
them nothing but dilute melicrat until the fever
remits and the urine becomes mature. Put the per-
son to bed in a dark room; let him lie on the softest
bed-clothes, remain in the same position for a long
time, and throw himself about as little as possible,
for these things, especially, help such patients.
Anoint the hypochondrium with an application of
linseed, taking care that the patient does not have
a chill as a result of the application; let the linseed
be luke-warm and boiled in water and oil.
19. Judge from urines what is about to happen,
for if thicker and more pale yellow, they are more
favourable, but if thinner and darker, more
grievous; if they undergo changes, this indicates
chronicity, and that the patient will experience
changes both for the worse and for the better.
20. Leave unsettled fevers alone until they
settle; when they do, counter them with regimen
and suitabie treatment, taking the patient’s consti-
tution into consideration.

21. Patients have many aspects. Therefore, the

person treating must pay attention to see that none
of the immediate signs escape his notice, nor any of
those that you know by reckoning must come to
light on an even- or an odd-numbered day. Actu-
ally, the odd-numbered, especially, must be
observed, since on them patients tend to incline in
one direction or the other.
22. Now, you must mark well the first day on
which any patient began to be ill, observing whence
and why the disease starts; for it is of the utmost
importance to first learn this. When you question
the patient and examine each thing carefully, do so
first with regard to the state of his head, whether it
is free of pain and has no heaviness in it; then the
hypochondrium and the sides, whether they are
free of pain; for if the hypochondrium is painful or
swollen with some unevenness or over-fullness, or
if pain of the side is present, and with the pain a
mild cough, colic or pain in the cavity—if any of
these things is present, especially in the hypochon-
drium, open the cavity with enemas; also have the
patient drink hot boiled-down melicrat; observe
carefully when the patient rises, too, whether he
faints, or whether his breathing is adequate;
observe the stools, whether anything dark is
passed, of a vivid colour, or whether they are clean,
like those of a healthy person; and the fever,

whether it has another access on the third day.

Observing such fevers very closely on the third day
in these diseases, from that day on pay attention to
other things as well, and if the fourth day brings
some of these same things the third one did, the
patient is in danger.
23. Signs: dark stools indicate death, whereas
those like a healthy person’s, when they have this
appearance every day, betoken recovery. But when
a patient fails to have a movement after he has
received a suppository, and there is also difficulty
in breathing, or if either on getting up into a chair
or right in his bed he loses consciousness—when
these things happen to the patient, either male or
female, expect derangement. You must also pay
attention to the hands, for if they tremble, expect
such a patient to have a flow of blood from his nos-
trils. You must look at both nostrils, for if the air is
drawn equally through them both, and much is car-
ried through, a convulsion is likely; if a convulsion
does occur in such a patient, death is to be
expected, and it is good to predict this.!
24. If, in a winter fever, the tongue becomes
rough and the patient loses consciousness, there is
likely to be an abatement of the fever. But all the

cratic medicine see e.g. Prognostic ch. 1 (Loeb Hippocrates

same, protect him by having him avoid food, and

drink water and melicrat; also protect him by using
juices; put no trust in the disappearance of the
fever, for patients with signs like these are in mor-
tal danger. When you see these signs, you should
give your prognosis, if after thinking it over it
seems a good idea.
25. When, in fevers, something terrible befalls
patients on the fifth day—if, for example, the cavity
suddenly passes watery stools and the patient loses
consciousness, or speechlessness occurs, or he
becomes convulsive, or develops hiccups—nausea is
likely to come over such patients, and sweating
under the nose, between the eyes, and in the neck
at the back of the head. Patients that suffer these
things become suffocated and before long die.
26. Fevers in which the legs are covered with
tubercles that persist and do not come to maturity:
while the patient is in such fevers, if, in addition,
choking befalls his throat, even though the region
about the throat is not swollen, and if it! does not
come to maturity but instead subsides, it is likely
in such a patient for blood to flow from the nostrils.
If much flows, this indicates resolution of the
disease; if not much, that it will be long; the less
that flows, the worse it is for the length of the con-
1 The syntax of this sentence is unclear. The tradi-
tional interpretation has been to understand “tubercles”
as the subject of πεπαίνηται and σβεσθῇ. Adams, whom I
follow, provides a vague “it” as subject. I also see no com-
pelling reason why τὰ περὶ τὴν φάρυγγα could not be taken as
subject.

dition. If the other symptoms diminish, expect

pains in such a person’s feet. If these attack the
foot, and it becomes painful and violently inflamed,
and remains that way without any resolution, then
little by little pains will spread to the neck, collar-
bone, shoulder, chest and joints, and this spread
will inevitably be accompanied by tubercles. If,
when these go down, the hands are dragged
behind! or tremble, convulsions and derangement
befall such a patient; blisters and red patches form
on the eyebrow, the one eye-lid sends forth shoots
over the other one,” a stubborn inflammation pre-
vails, the eye swells massively, and the derange-
ment increases greatly; nights give more evidence
of the derangement than do days. These signs
occur more on odd-numbered days than on even-
numbered ones, but on whichever of these numbers
they occur, death follows.
27. If you prefer to give medications to such
patients right from the beginning, give them before
the fifth day if the cavity rumbles; if it does not
rumble, leave the patient without a medication. If
the rumbling continues and the stools passed are
bilious, clean the patient moderately downwards
with scammony. As far as the rest of his treatment
is concerned, offer as few drinks and gruels as

possible, until the condition improves, if the period

of recovery does not extend beyond the fourteenth
day.
28. When speechlessness comes over a patient
that has had fever for fourteen days, a swift resolu-
tion or relief from the disease is not likely to occur;
on the contrary, this indicates chronicity in such a
patient; for, whenever speechlessness appears on
that day, it is present for a longer time. In a
patient with fever, when on the fourth day the
tongue becomes confounded in speech, and the
cavity passes watery bilious stools, such a patient is
likely to rave; indeed, you must watch carefully
what follows these events.
29. During the summer and fall a sudden nose-
bleed during acute diseases indicates tension, great
heat through the vessels, and that thin urines will
appear towards the next day. If the patient is in
the prime of life, and his body is in good condition
from exercises, or if he is subject to dark bile, or if
his hands tremble from drink, it is good to predict
derangement or convulsions. If this happens on
even days, it is better, but during a crisis it is a
fatal sign, unless much blood, being shed in a mass,
brings about an exit through the nostrils or anus of
the excess that has built up through accumulation,
or gives rise to an abscess, or to pains in the hypo-
chondrium or radiating to a testicle or the legs.

When these diseases come to maturity, there are

discharges of thick sputa and of thin white urines.
30. For a fever with hiccups: knead together sil-
phium juice, oxymel and dauke, and give this to
drink; also all-heal juice in honey, a lozenge of
cummin, and after that barley-water gruel. Such a
patient does not escape unless critical sweats and
regular sleep occur, and thick sharp urines come
down, or unless the disease settles into abscesses.
A lozenge of pine-cone and myrrh. Give such
patients a very little oxymel to drink; if one hap-
pens to be very thirsty, give a little barley-water.
31. Conditions in the lung and pleurisy you
must evaluate thus: if the fever is high and there
are pains in one or both sides, if the patient suffers
pain when he draws his breath, if he has a cough
and it produces yellow-brown, livid, or thin frothy
bright-coloured sputa, and if the patient is different
in other ways from what is normal, you must
proceed as follows with such patients: if the pain
radiates upwards to the collar-bone, or is located
about the breast or in the arm, you must incise
the inner vessel of the arm on the affected side as

follows: draw off, according to the condition of the

body, the season, and the patient’s age and colour,
a considerable amount, and even venture, if intense
pain is present, to continue until the loss of
consciousness; afterwards administer an enema. If
there is pain below the thorax in a patient with
pleurisy and it becomes more intense, clean the
cavity downwards; while cleaning is taking place,
give nothing, but afterwards give oxymel. Give a
medication on the fourth day; on the first three
days from the beginning use enemas, but if these do
not lighten the patient, clean him downwards with
a medication. Observe carefully until the disap-
pearance of fever, and for seven days. Then, if the
patient appears to be safe, first give a little thin
juice with honey; if he expectorates easily and
breathes freely, and if he has no pains in his sides
and no fever, gradually give more juice and of a
thicker consistency, twice daily. But if the patient
is not recovering easily, the drink is to be less in
amount and the gruel a little thin juice once a day,
at whatever time the patient is doing better. You
will recognize this from his urines.
32. You must not administer gruel to patients
recovering from diseases before you see that their
urines or sputa have become mature. However, if a
patient has been cleaned out often by the use of
medications, gruel must be given, though less in
amount and thinner in consistency; for otherwise,
on account of his emptiness, he will not be able to
sleep, to bring the disease to maturity, or to with-

stand the crises, but when wasting appears in his

shoulders and he loses his resistance, he will not
hold out at all.
Sputa are mature when they become like pus;
urines, when they have reddish sediments like
vetch-meal.
33. Nothing prevents applying fomentations
and wax-salves against other pains in the sides as
well; anoint the legs and lumbar region with warm
oil, and rub in animal fat; apply linseed plasters to
the hypochondrium up as far as the breasts.
When pneumonia is at its height, it is incurable
if the patient is not well cleaned out, and bodes ill if
he has difficulty breathing, if his urines are thin
and sharp, and if there is sweating about his neck
and head. Sweats of this kind indicate a bad out-
come, with the diseases overcoming by suffocation,
wheezing, and violence, unless copious thick urines
begin and mature sputa come; if either of these
occurs spontaneously, it will resolve the disease.
34. Lozenge for pneumonia: all-heal juice and
pine-cone in Attic honey; also have the patient
drink southernwood in oxymel, and pepper. Boil off
black hellebore, and give it to the patient with pleu-
risy, at the beginning, when he is in great pain. It
is also good to boil up all-heal in oxymel, and, siev-
ing it, to give it to drink both to patients with liver

from the diaphragm.
Medications that act on the cavity and promote
urine give to drink in wine and honey; those for the
cavity must be given in greater amounts and with
dilute melicrat.
35. Dysentery, when it ends, will give rise to an
abscess or some swelling, unless it appears in
fevers, in sweats, in thick white urines, in tertians,
or in a varix, or unless a pain settles in a testicle, in
the legs, or in the hips.

occurring before the seventh day resolves the fever;
but if it occurs without chills outside this favour-
able period, it is a mortal sign.

there are stoppages. But when the patients are
drawn excessively forward by their tendons and
they sweat about the neck and face, the tendons of
the lower back being irritated and dried out by the
stress—that is, the thickest ones, which hold the
spine together where the very large ligaments ter-
minate that go down to the feet—to such a patient,

that follow arrive in a state of maturity, or unless
there are critical sweats, give strong light-coloured

the better, as the result of your attention, fine; if
not, grate bryony root and dauke into sweet-
smelling wine, and give this to the patient to drink
in the fasting state, early in the morning before any
water is applied externally; immediately after that
let him eat as much warm boiled meal as he can,
and then drink wine well mixed with water when-
ever he wishes. If the condition improves with your
measures, fine; if not, predict accordingly.
39. All diseases are resolved through either the
mouth, the cavity, or the bladder; sweating is a
form of resolution common to them all.
40. You must give hellebore to those in whom a
flux from the head has occurred; but to those that
suppurate internally from abscesses or from the
bursting of a vessel, or because of intemperance, or
because of any other potent condition, do not give

hellebore; for it will do no good, and if anything

happens to the patient, the hellebore will seem to
have been to blame. If the body is weakened, if
there is pain in the head, if the ears or the nose are
stopped, or if there is ptyalism, heaviness of the
knees, or fullness of the body beyond what is nor-
mal, give hellebore,! provided that the condition is
not the result of drink, venery, grief, anxiety or
sleeplessness; if the condition has one of these as
its cause, let the treatment be directed against
that.
41. Pains of the sides, back, loins and hips from
walking, and pains connected with inspiration that
patients suffer for some obvious reason; for pains
regularly invade the lower back and hips as the
result of drunkenness and flatulent foods: in which-
ever patients such things occur, there is dysuria.
Walking is to blame for these things, and also for
coryzas and sore throats.
42. Many effects resulting from the conduct of
life show themselves particularly when a person
conducts his life otherwise than is his habit. Thus,
for example, if those not used to taking breakfast
do so, they experience a great heaviness of the
belly, drowsiness, and fullness, and if they take
dinner, their cavity is set in motion. It would
benefit such patients to have an enema and to go to
bed, and after sleeping to go for a long slow walk.
If the patient is emptied, let him dine, and drink a

not emptied, anoint his body with warm oil; if he is
thirsty, let him drink dilute sweet or white wine,
and rest; if he does not sleep, let him rest even
longer. The remainder of his treatment is to be
conducted as for those suffering the after-effects of
drunkenness.
43. The effects of beverages: those that are
aqueous advance slowly, are enclosed, and remain
high up about the hypochondrium; they do not run
down to pass off as urine. When he is filled with
such a drink, let the person not soon perform any
physical task of the kind that cause the body to
labour, strained by exertion or speed, but rest as
much as possible until the drink is digested with
his food. Beverages that are more concentrated or
harsher provoke palpitation in the body and throb-
bing in the head. It is good for persons in this case
to sleep, and afterwards to drink some kind of
warm gruel, whichever kind they like best. Fasting
is harmful for headache and the after-effects of
drunkenness.
44. Those who eat only once a day! become
exhausted and weak, and pass warm urine on
account of their abnormal emptiness. Their mouth
becomes salty, or even bitter, they tremble in every

used to, replace bread with quite moist barley-cake,

and of vegetables have dock, mallow, peeled barley
or beets. With their food, let them drink wine in a
reasonable amount and quite dilute, and after
dinner walk a little until urine runs down and is
passed. Let the person also eat boiled fish.
45. Foods, in most cases, show their effects.
Garlic, for example, produces flatus and heat about
the thorax, heaviness of the head, and nausea, and,
if any other pain was habitually present before,
garlic will exacerbate it; it is diuretic, and this is of
advantage; it is best of all to eat some if one is
about to go drinking or is already drunk.
46. Cheese produces flatus, constipation, and
heating of the other foods, and also gives rise to
raw and undigested substances. The worst thing is
for those already full to eat it together with their
drink.
47. All pulses produce flatulence, whether they
are raw, boiled or roasted, but least when steeped
in water, or green. They are not to be employed
except together with other foods. Also, each one of
them has its own particular dangers. The chick-
pea, both raw and when roasted, produces flatu-
lence and pain; the lentil contracts and is laxative,
if it has its hull. The lupin is the least injurious of
the pulses.

48. Silphium and its juice pass through the cav-

ity very well in some persons, but not in others,
who are unused to them, and produce what is called
dry cholera. This occurs especially if the silphium
is mixed with much cheese or eaten with beef, since
melancholic affections are aggravated by beef,
owing to its obdurate nature, and to the fact that it
is not digested by just any cavity. The sufferer
would be best relieved if he were to eat beef
thoroughly boiled and well-aged.
49. Goat’s meat possesses all the same disad-
vantages and the indigestibility of beef, but is more
flatulent and produces belching and cholera. The
most fragrant is also the most wholesome; this is
best well-boiled and cold. The less pleasant kind is
foul-smelling and tough; this is the worst kind.!
Fresh goat’s meat is best in summer, worst in
autumn.
50. The meat of young pig is injurious when it is
either too raw or scorched, since then it is likely to
produce cholera and to set the cavity in motion.
Pork is the best of all meats; the most nutritious is
that which is neither very fat nor very lean, and
which has not the age of an old slaughter-animal;
eat it without the skin, and slightly cooled.
! The traditional punctuation connects ταῦτα κάκιστα
with what follows rather than with what precedes, e.g.
Joly: la plus mauvaise est la plus fraiche.

51. In dry cholera the belly is distended with

air, rumbling sounds are heard, pain occupies the
sides and the loins, and nothing passes off below,
for there is a blockage. Take care that such a
patient does not vomit, but that his cavity is evacu-
ated downwards; clean him out as quickly as possi-
ble with an enema of warm very oily water. Lower
him into hot water, anoint with plentiful oil, and,
laying him down in the tub, pour in hot water a lit-
tle at a time. If, when he is warmed, his cavity eva-
cuates, resolution has taken place. It also benefits
such a patient to sleep, and to drink thin old wine
almost undiluted; also give him olive oil [so that
there is peace and his cavity evacuates, and resolu-
tion has taken place];! let the patient refrain from
cereals and other foods. If the pain does not remit,
give ass’s milk to drink, in order to clean the
patient out. If the cavity is moist and bile passes
down, and colic, vomiting, choking and a gnawing
pain are present, it is best for these patients to
remain still; let them drink melicrat, and not vomit
it up.
52. Of dropsies there are two forms: the one,
attacking beneath the tissues, is inescapable; the
other, accompanied by tympanites, requires very
good fortune, and above all exercise, vapour-baths,
and self-control. Let the patient eat foods that are
dry and sharp, for thus will he pass the most urine,
1 Many attempts have been made to solve this crux,
none very convincing. Littré reads the text of the
manuscripts and translates: afin qu’il se calme et qu'il ait
des évacuations: car alors il est guéri. I suspect that “reso-
lution has taken place” has mistakenly been repeated
here from the previous sentence.

cooled. In addition, both drinks and foods similar

to these are to be administered.
54. The most important part of the dietetic art
is to observe and watch closely during long illnesses
for the exacerbations of the fevers and for their
remissions, so as carefully to avoid the particular
times when foods must not be given, and to know
when they may be given with safety, namely, when
patients are furthest from the exacerbation.
55. Take note of patients with headaches that
have arisen from physical exercises, running, walk-
ing, hunting, some other untimely exertion, or ven-
ery, and of those with poor colour, a sore throat,
disease of the spleen, lack of blood, asthma, a dry
cough, excessive thirst, flatulence, stoppage of the
vessels, tension of the hypochondrium, sides and
back, numbness, dullness of vision, ringing in the
ears, loss of command over the urethra, jaundice,
the passage of undigested stools, excessive bleeding
from the nose or through the anus, tympanites, or
an attack of severe pain they do not overcome: do
not treat any of these with a medication, for that

would be dangerous, and your effect would not be to

help the patient, but only to deprive his crises of
their spontaneity.
56. If it would benefit some patient to draw
blood, first make his cavity firm, and then draw the
blood, have the patient fast, and take away his
wine. Then in the time that follows treat him by
regimen and vapour-baths. If the cavity seems to
be very costive, administer a gentle enema.
57. If it seems advisable to administer a medica-
tion, clean cautiously upwards with hellebore, but
never clean downwards in patients of this sort; it is
best to get them to pass urine, sweat, and take
walks. Also, employ gentle massage in order not to
make the body too contracted; if the person is bed-
ridden, have others massage him. If the affection
produces pain in the thorax above the diaphragm,
let the patient sit up as much as possible, and the
attendants support him as little as they can; when
he is sitting up, let them rub him for a long time
with plentiful warm oil. If the pains are in the
lower cavity below the diaphragm, it helps for the
patient to recline and to lie perfectly still; to such a
patient administer nothing except massage. Pains
resolved from the lower cavity, through urine and
sweat that flow in moderation, are resolved spon-
taneously as long as they are mild; but severe

ones are bad, for such patients either die or fail to

escape without other evils, since such conditions
become chronic.
58. Beverage for a patient with dropsy: remove
the head, legs and wings from three blister-beetles,
and grind the bodies into three cyathoi of water.
When the person that has drunk this beverage
suffers pain, let him first be anointed and then
bathed in hot water; let him drink the medication
in the fasting state, and eat warm bread that has
been dipped in oil.
59. Against nosebleed: apply fig juice, in a piece
of wool, inside against the vessel; or roll together
some rennet and stuff it into the nostril, or take up
some copper ore with your fingers, insert it, and
squeeze the cartilages on both sides from the out-
side. Open the cavity with boiled ass’s milk, and, if
it happens in summer, shave the head and apply
cooling agents to it.
60. Sesamoid cleans upwards: the potion con-
sists of one-and-a-half drachmas ground into oxy-
mel. It can also be mixed with hellebore, and this
chokes less; in that case you employ one-third the
amount of the potion.

a needle; then, piercing through along the angle of

direction, draw the needle through; do the same

again below this.! Now pulling the threads tight,
stitch them together, and keep them bound fast
until they fall off. If this suffices, fine; if it fails, do
the same again.
62. Treat haemorrhoids, too, in the same way:
first thrust through a very long thick thread of
greasy wool, and then tie them off, for this makes
the treatment more effective. Then, after squeez-
ing them out, use a putrefacient; do not wash until
the haemorrhoids have fallen off, and always leave
one behind. After that, restore the patient and
administer hellebore. Then let him do exercises
and be cleaned by sweating; use the massage of the
gymnastic school and wrestling from the standing
position; he must avoid running, drunkenness, and
all sharp substances except marjoram. Have the
patient vomit every seven days, or three times a
month, for thus will his body be in the best condi-
tion. Have him drink dry light-coloured wine,
diluted with water, and little of it.
63. For patients that are suppurating inter-
nally: cut up a squill and boil the discs in water;
boil them well, pour off the water, replace it with
new water, and boil again until they seem boiled
through and soft to the touch. Then mash them
smooth, and mix in roasted cummin, white sesame
and ground almonds; knead this into honey,
1 In spite of J. Hirschberg’s explanation (Geschichte
der Augenheilkunde im Alterthum, Leipzig, 1899, p. 140),
I agree with Francis Adams (Paulus Aegineta, London,
1844-7, II. 262) that “the description is so obscure that
we must confess our inability to explain it.”

72. Also grind spurge, pour water over it, sieve,
and into this mix meal; then bake as a cake, and
pour honey over it; give to patients with dropsy, to
eat; with it have them drink sweet wine diluted
with water, or dilute melicrat. Or collect and store
spurge, and treat with that.
1 The meaning of this chapter is very doubtful. In
place of A’s “sleepy patients” MV read “patients with
dropsy”. μηκώνιον could be either the cathartic juice of
spurge, or poppy juice (opium); cf. Diseases of Women II
201 where μηκώνιον is referred to as “sleep producing”. A
lekiskion is apparently a small pot, used here as an indi-
cation of volume.
2 Presumably as much copper scale as can be picked
up on a probe.

 INDEX OF SYMPTOMS AND DISEASES

Angina, κυνάγχη (= otvayxos) (ἄγχω, strangle): B3 bis, C9, C26,

C27, C28, D10, E53, F3, F9
Anthrax, ἄνθραξ (a coal), a necrotizing infection of the skin and
subcutaneous tissue. The only description of ἄνθρακες in the
Hippocratic Collection (Epidemics II 1) does not provide
sufficient details to allow identification of the disease with the
modern anthrax. Cf. Pliny N.H. 26.5-6: A35
Ardent fever, καῦσος (= πυρετὸς Kavowdns) (καίω, burn). Littré
argues that this fever is tropical malaria; cf. Potter pp. 62 f.: A6,
AQ, All, Al4, B3 passim, B29, B33, C63, D6, D17, ΕἸ, F2, F12. Cf.
C41
Arthritis, dpOperis!: A30, A31, B3

Back, disease of, νωτιάς: C56. Cf. C51 and E13

Belching disease, ἐρυγματώδης: C69. Cf. E49
Bile, suffer from, yoAGv: B7, C19, C40; cf. E48
Boil, δοθιήν; cf. Celsus 5.28.8: A35

Cholera, χολέρη; cf. Hirsch 3.255 and Daremberg 636 n.1: A27,
A47, F49, F50; dry cholera F48, F51
Colic, στρόφος (στρέφω, twist); severe paroxysmal griping pains in
the belly: A23, A26, A47, A48, A61, C40, C48, C55, D16, E39,
B42, F22, F51, F53
Consumption, φθίσις (= $867): B3 bis, C49, C50, E10, Ell, E12;
consumption of the back C51; nephritic consumption E15. Cf.
A33 (φθίνω). Cf. C48
Coryza, κόρυζα, inflammatory nasal catarrh: F41

! The suffix -ῖτις (-itis) changes a noun into an adjec-

tive. Where it is joined with a noun that refers to a bodily
organ, the resulting adjective often understands νοῦσος
(disease), to acquire the meaning “disease of that particu-
lar organ”, e.g. ἀρθρῖτις (arthritis) = “disease of the joints”.
In the Hippocratic writings -ἴτις does not necessarily indi-
cate the presence of inflammation.

Collection this process is primarily confined to bones (e.g. Frac-
tures 11; Joints 50) and the brain (e.g. Airs, Waters, Places 10;

between the two, perhaps founded on the ancient belief that the
brain represented the marrow of the skull. Cf. Daremberg
