τέμνονταί τινες τὰ μέλεα, θεοῖς ἰδίοις, ὡς ἀπαιτοῦσι, χαριζόμενοι εὐσεβεῖ φαντασίῃ: καὶ ἔστι τῆς ὑπολήψιος ἡ μανίη μοῦνον, τὰ δὲ ἄλλα σωφρονέουσι. ἐγείρονται δὲ αὐλῷ καὶ θυμηδίῃ, ἢ μέθῃ, ἢ τῶν παρεόντων προτροπῇ. ἔνθεος ἥδε ἡ μανίη: κἢν ἀπομανῶσι, εὔθυμοι, ἀκηδέες, ὡς τελεσθέντες τῷ θεῷ, ἄχροοι δὲ καὶ ἰσχνοὶ, καὶ ἐς μακρὸν ἀσθενέες πόνοις τῶν τρωμάτων.

Κεφ. ς .περὶ Παραλύσεως.

ἀποπληξίη, παραπληγίη, πάρεσις , παράλυσις, ἅπαντα τῷ γένεϊ τωὐτά. ἢ γάρ κινήσιος, ἢ ἁφῆς, ἢ ἀμφοῖν ἐστι ἔκλειψις: κοτὲ καὶ γνώμης, κοτὲ καὶ τῆς ἄλλης αἰσθήσιος. ἀλλ᾽ ἀποπληξίη μὲν ὅλου τοῦ σκήνεος, καὶ τῆς αἰσθήσιός τε καὶ γνώμης καὶ κινήσιός ἐστι παράλυσις. τοιγαροῦν ἀποπληξίην λῦσαι ἰσχυρὴν μὲν ἀδύνατον, ἀσθενῆ δὲ οὐ Ρ῾ηΐδιον.¹ παραπληγίη δὲ πάρεσις μὲν ἁφῆς καὶ κινήσιος, ἀλλὰ μέρεος, ἢ χειρὸς, ἢ σκέλεος : παράλυσις δὲ ὡς ἐπίπαν κινήσιος μοῦνον, ἐνεργείης τε πάρεσις: ἢν δὲ ἁφὴ ἐκλείπῃ μούνη κοτέ, — σπάνιον δὲ τὸ τοιόνδε, — ἀναισθησίη μᾶλλον ἢ πάρεσις κικλήσκεται: ἢν δὲ ἀπόπληκτον ὁ Ἱπποκράτης εἴπῃ σκέλος τὸ κατ᾽ ἴξιν, ὡς νεκρῶδες, τὸ ἀχρεῖον καὶ τὸ ἀναλδὲς θέλει φράσαι.² ὃ γὰρ ἐπὶ τῷ ξύμπαντι ἀποπληξίη ἐστὶ ἰσχυρὴ, τόδε ἐν τῷ σκέλεϊ παραπληγίην φράζει: κύστιος δὲ οὔρων σχέσιος ἢ ἀκρασίης, πάρεσις τὸ κύριον: βλεφάρων δὲ καὶ μήλων καὶ μυῶν τῶν ἐν γνάθοις, καὶ γένυος ἐπὶ θάτερα παραγωγὴ,
