4.3. If the matters which are purged be such as should be purged, it is beneficial and well borne; but if the contrary, with difficulty.

4.14. When one takes a draught of hellebore, one should be made to move more about, and indulge less in sleep and repose. Sailing on the sea shows that motion disorders the body.
4.14. 14. ἐπὴν πίῃ τις ἐλλέβορον, πρὸς μὲν τὰς κινήσιας τῶν σωμάτων μᾶλλον ἄγειν, πρὸς δὲ τοὺς ὕπνους καὶ μὴ κινήσιας, ἧσσον· δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ ἡ ναυτιλίη, ὅτι κίνησις τὰ σώματα ταράσσει.

4.17. Anorexia, heartburn, vertigo, and a bitter taste of the mouth, in a person free from fever, indicate the want of purging upward.
4.17. 17. Ἀπυρέτῳ ἐόντι, ἀποσιτίη, καὶ καρδιωγμὸς, καὶ σκοτόδινος, καὶ στόμα ἐκτικρούμενον, ἄνω φαρμακείης δέεσθαι σημαίνει.
4.18. Pains seated above the diaphragm indicate purging upward, and those below it, downward.

4.20. If persons free from fever be seized with tormina, heaviness of the knees, and pains of the loins, this indicates that purging downward is required.
4.20. 20. Ἀπυρέτοισιν ἐοῦσιν, ἢν γίνηται στρόφος, καὶ γουνάτων βάρος, καὶ ὀσφύος ἄλγημα, κάτω φαρμακείης δεῖσθαι σημαίνει.
4.21. Alvine dejections which are black, like blood, taking place spontaneously, either with or without fever, are very bad; and the more numerous and unfavorable the colors, so much the worse; when with medicine it is better, and a variety of colors in this case is not bad.
4.21. 21. ὑποχωρήματα μέλανα, οἱονεὶ αἷμα, ἀπὸ ταυτομάτου ἰόντα, καὶ ξὺν πυρετῷ, καὶ ἄνευ πυρετοῦ, κάκιστα· καὶ ὁκόσῳ ἂν τὰ χρώματα πλείω καὶ πονηρότερα ᾖ, μᾶλλον. κάκιον· ξὺν φαρμάκῳ δὲ ἄμεινον, καὶ ὁκόσῳ ἂν πλείω χρώματα ᾖ, οὐ πονηρόν.
4.22. When black bile is evacuated in the beginning of any disease whatever, either upward or downward, it is a mortal symptom.
4.22. 22. νοσημάτων ὁκόσων ἀρχομένων, ἢν χολὴ μέλαινα ἢ ἄνω ἢ κάτω ὑπέλθῃ, θανάσιμον.
4.23. In persons attenuated from any disease, whether acute or chronic, or from wounds, or any other cause, if there be a discharge either of black bile, or resembling black blood, they die on the following day.
4.23. 23. Ὁκόσοισιν ἐκ νουσημάτων ὀξέων ἢ πολυχρονίων, ἢ ἐκ τρωμάτων, ἢ ἄλλως πως λελεπτυσμένοισι χολὴ μέλαινα ἢ ὁκοῖον αἷμα μέλαν ὑπέλθῃ, τῇ ὑστεραίῃ ἀποθνήσκουσιν.

4.26. If in a person ill of dysentery, substances resembling flesh be discharged from the bowels, it is a mortal symptom.

4.28. In all cases whatever, bilious discharges cease if deafness supervenes, and in all cases deafness ceases when bilious discharges supervene.
4.28. 28. Ὁκόσοισι χολώδεα τὰ διαχωρήματα, κωφώσιος γενομένης παύεται, καὶ ὁκόσοισι κώφωσις, χολωδέων γενομένων παύεται.
4.29. Rigors which occur on the sixth day have a difficult crisis.

4.30. 30. Ὁκόσοισι παροξυσμοὶ γίνονται, ἣν ἂν ὥρην ἀφῇ, ἐς τὴν αὔριον τὴν αὐτὴν ὥρην ἢν λάβῃ, δύσκριτα.

4.33. 33. ἀτὰρ ἢν καὶ προπεπονηκός τι ᾖ πρὸ τοῦ νοσέειν, ἐνταῦθα στηρίζει ἡ νοῦσος.
4.34. If a person laboring under a fever, without any swelling in the fauces, be seized with a sense of suffocation suddenly, it is a mortal symptom.
4.34. 34. ἢν ὑπὸ πυρετοῦ ἐχομένῳ, οἰδήματος μὴ ἐόντος ἐν τῇ φάρυγγι, πνὶξ ἐξαίφνης ἐπιστῇ, θανάσιμον.

4.36. Sweats, in febrile diseases, are favorable, if they set in on the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth, twenty-first, twenty-seventh, and thirty-fourth day, for these sweats prove a crisis to the disease; but sweats not occurring thus, indicate pain, a protracted disease, and relapses.
4.36. 36. ἱδρῶτες πυρεταίνουσιν ἢν ἄρξωνται, ἀγαθοὶ τριταῖοι, καὶ πεμπταῖοι, καὶ ἑβδομαῖοι, καὶ ἐναταῖοι, καὶ ἑνδεκαταῖοι, καὶ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκαταῖοι, καὶ ἑπτακαιδεκαταῖοι, καὶ μιῇ καὶ εἰκοστῇ, καὶ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ εἰκοστῇ, καὶ τριηκοστῇ πρώτῃ, καὶ τριηκοστῇ τετάρτῃ· οὗτοι γὰρ οἱ ἱδρῶτες νούσους κρίνουσιν· οἱ δὲ μὴ οὕτω γινόμενοι πόνον σημαίνουσι καὶ μῆκος νούσου καὶ ὑποτροπιασμούς.

4.38. 38. καὶ ὅκου ἔνι τοῦ σώματος ἱδρὼς, ἐνταῦθα φράζει τὴν νοῦσον.
4.39. And in whatever part of the body heat or cold is seated, there is disease.
4.39. 39. καὶ ὅκου ἔνι τοῦ σώματος θερμὸν ἢ ψυχρὸν, ἐνταῦθα ἡ νοῦσος.
4.40. And wherever there are changes in the whole body, and if the body be alternately cold and hot, or if one color succeed another, this indicates a protracted disease.
4.40. 40. καὶ ὅκου ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ σώματι μεταβολαὶ, καὶ ἢν τὸ σῶμα καταψύχηται, ἢ αὖθις θερμαίνηται, ἢ χρῶμα ἕτερον ἐξ ἑτέρου γίνηται, μῆκος νούσου σημαίνει.
4.41. A copious sweat after sleep occuring without any manifest cause, indicates that the body is using too much food. But if it occur when one is not taking food, it indicates that evacuation is required.
4.41. 41. ἱδρὼς πουλὺς ἐξ ὕπνου ἄνευ τινὸς αἰτίης φανερῆς γινόμενος, τὸ σῶμα σημαίνει ὅτι πλείονι τροφῇ χρέεται· ἢν δὲ τροφὴν μὴ λαμβάνοντι τοῦτο γίγνηται, σημαίνει ὅτι κενώσιος δέεται.

4.43. Fevers, not of the intermittent type, which are exacerbated on the third day, are dangerous; but if they intermit in any form, this indicates that they are not dangerous.
4.43. 43. οἱ πυρετοὶ ὁκόσοι, μὴ διαλείποντες, διὰ τρίτης ἰσχυρότεροι γίνονται, ἐπικίνδυνοι· ὅτῳ δʼ ἂν τρόπῳ διαλείπωσι, σημαίνει ὅτι ἀκίνδυνοι.
4.44. In cases attended with protracted fevers, tubercles (phymata) or pains occur about the joints.
4.44. 44. Ὁκόσοισι πυρετοὶ μακροὶ, τουτέοισι φύματα ἢ ἐς τὰ ἄρθρα πόνοι ἐγγίνονται.

4.47. In fevers not of the intermittent type, expectorations which are livid bloody, fetid and bilious, are all bad; but if evacuated properly, they are favorable. So it is with the alvine evacuations and the urine. But if none of the proper excretions take place by these channels, it is bad.
4.47. 47. αἱ ἀποχρέμψιες αἱ ἐν τοῖσι πυρετοῖσι τοῖσι μὴ διαλείπουσιν, αἱ πελιδναὶ, καὶ αἱματώδεες, καὶ δυσώδεες, καὶ χολώδεες, πᾶσαι κακαί· ἀποχωρέουσαι δὲ καλῶς, ἀγαθαὶ, καὶ κατὰ τὰς διαχωρήσιας, καὶ κατὰ τὰ οὖρα· ἢν δε μή τι τῶν ξυμφερόντων ἐκκρίνηται διὰ τῶν τόπων τούτων, κακόν.
4.48. In fevers not of the intermittent type, if the external parts be cold, but the internal be burnt up, and if there be thirst, it is a mortal symptom.
4.48. 48. ἐν τοῖσι μὴ διαλείπουσι πυρετοῖσιν, ἢν τὰ μὲν ἔξω ψυχρὰ ᾖ, τὰ δὲ ἔνδον καίηται, καὶ δίψαν ἔχῃ, θανάσιμον.
4.49. In a fever not of the intermittent type, if a lip, an eye-brow, an eye, or the nose, be distorted; or if there be loss of sight or of hearing, and the patient be in a weak state-whatever of these symptoms occur, death is at hand.
4.49. 49. ἐν μὴ διαλείποντι πυρετῷ, ἢν χεῖλος, ἢ ὀφρὺς, ἢ ὀφθαλμὸς, ἢ ῥὶς διαστραφῇ, ἢν μὴ βλέπῃ, ἢν μὴ ἀκούῃ, ἀσθενέος ἐόντος τοῦ κάμνοντος, ὅ τι ἂν τουτέων γένηται, ἐγγὺς ὁ θάνατος.

4.52. When persons in fevers, or in other illnesses, shed tears voluntarily, it is nothing out of place; but when they shed tears involuntarily, it is more so.
4.52. 52. ὁκόσοι ἐν τοῖσι πυρετοῖσιν, ἢ ἐν τῇσιν ἄλλῃσιν ἀῤῥωστίῃσι κατὰ προαίρεσιν δακρύουσιν, οὐδὲν ἄτοπον· ὁκόσοι δὲ μὴ κατὰ προαίρεσιν, ἀτοπώτερον.
4.53. In whatever cases of fever very viscid concretions form about the teeth, the fevers turn out to be particularly strong.
4.53. 53. Ὁκόσοισι δὲ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀδόντων ἐν τοῖσι πυρετοῖσι περίγλισχρα γίνεται, ἰσχυρότεροι γίνονται οἱ πυρετοί.
4.54. In whatever case of ardent fever dry coughs of a tickling nature with slight expectoration are long protracted, there is usually not much thirst.
4.54. 54. Ὁκόσοισιν ἐπὶ πουλὺ βῆχες ξηραὶ, βραχέα ἐρεθίζουσαι, ἐν πυρετοῖσι καυσώδεσιν, οὐ πάνυ τι διψώδεές εἰσιν.

4.55. 55. οἱ ἐπὶ βουβῶσι πυρετοὶ, πάντες κακοὶ, πλὴν τῶν ἐφημέρων.

4.60. 60. Ὁκόσοισιν ἂν ἐν τοῖσι πυρετοῖσι τὰ ὦτα κωφωθῇ, αἷμα ἐκ ῥινῶν ῥυὲν, ἢ κοιλίη ἐκταραχθεῖσα, λύει τὸ νούσημα.

4.73. When the hypochondriac region is affected with meteorism and borborygmi, should pain of the loins supervene, the bowels get into a loose and watery state, unless there be an eruption of flatus or a copious evacuation of urine. These things occur in fevers.
4.73. 73. Ὁκόσοισιν ὑποχόνδρια μετέωρα, διαβορβορύζοντα, ὀσφύος ἀλγήματος ἐπιγενομένου, αἱ κοιλίαι τουτέοισι καθυγραίνονται, ἢν μὴ φῦσαι καταῤῥαγέωσιν, ἢ οὔρου πλῆθος ἐπέλθῃ· ἐν πυρετοῖσι δὲ ταῦτα.
4.74. When there is reason to expect that an abscess will form in joints, the abscess is carried off by a copious discharge of urine, which is thick, and becomes white, like what begins to form in certain cases of quartan fever, attended with a sense of lassitude. It is also speedily carried off by a hemorrhage from the nose.
