[p. 69] μέσα τῶν πλευρέων κοῖλα, Ρ῾ομβοειδέα.1 ὡς ἐς τὴν τῶν ὀστέων περιαγωγὴν ὑποχόνδρια λαγαρὰ, ἀνεσπασμένα, ἐπιγάστριον τῇ Ρ῾άχει προσφυὲς καὶ λαγών. ἄρθρα ἐναργῆ, ἔξαρθρα, ἀσαρκώδεα, καὶ ἡ κνήμη, ἰσχίον τε καὶ βραχίων. ὑπερίσχει ἡ ἄκανθα τῶν σπονδύλων ἡ πρόσθεν κοίλη τῶν ἑκατέρων ἐκτετηκότων μνῶν: ὡμοπλάται ἐκφανέες ὅλαι, ὅκως πτέρυγες ὀρνίθων. τουτέοισι ἢν κοιλίη ἐκταραχθῇ, ἀνέλπιστοι : ἢν δὲ ἐς ὑγείην τρέπηται, τὰ ἐναντία τοῖσι ὀλεθρίοισι ἐπιφοιτῇ. γηραιοὶ μὲν οὐ ξυνεχέες πάσχειν:2 διαδιδρήσκουσι δὲ ἥκιστα: νέοι δὲ μέχρι ἀκμῆς ἀπὸ αἵματος ἀναγωγῆς φθινώδεες γίγνονται, καὶ ὑγιάζον ται μὲν, οὐ Ρ῾ηϊδίως δέ: παιδία ξυνεχῶς τῇ βηχὶ μέχρι φθόης κοτὲ Ρ῾ηϊδίως ὑγιάζεται: ἕξιες δὲ Ρ῾αδινοὶ, σανιδώδεες , πτερυγώδεες, ἐξεχέβρογχοι, λευκοὶ, ἀραιότεροι τὸν θώρηκα: χῶραι δὲ ψυχραὶ καὶ ὑγραὶ, ὁκόσαι τῷ εἴδεϊ τοῦ πάθεος ἀδελφαί.
1 This word is most probably a false reading. See Wigan and Ermerins. The latter reads Ρ῾οιβοειδέα, one of Wigan's conjectural emendations. Ῥοικοειδέα and Ρ῾εβοειδέα have also been suggested. If I thought myself warranted to make any change in the reading, it would be to adopt Ρ῾αιβοειδέα. See Foes, Oec. Hipp.; and Galen, t ... pp. 224, 246, ed. Daremberg.
2 the change of οὖν into οὐ, as made by Ermerins, is indispensable.
3 although not inclined to adopt unauthorised emendations, I must say that I think this reading, on the authority of Ermerins, is a great improvement on the common reading, τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. In the mss. of Aretæus, it is quite common to find ἀνθρώπου written ἄνω, by contraction.
