1 ermerins suppresses the last clause of the sentence altogether, on the ground that it is superfluous and out of place. I fear this must be held to be an unwarrantable liberty on the part of an editor, whose duty it is to restore the words, but not attempt to improve the sense of his author.
2 Ermerins agrees with Petit in reading πνεύμονος. I am doubtful.
3 Wigan and Ermerins read Ρ῾ωχμὸς; but the other seems to me the preferable term. The authority of Cælius Aurelianus seems to me decisive on this point: “Gutturis stridor quem Græci rhogmon vocant.” Morb. Acut. ii. 10. See Paulus aegineta, t ... p. 482, Syd. Soc. Edit.
4 I am not satisfied that Ermerins was warranted in prefixing οὐ to κερχνῶδες, contrary to the authority of all the mss.
