2.14. The physical characteristics of the consumptives were:—-skin smooth, whitish, lentil-coloured, reddish; bright eyes; a leucophlegmatic condition; shoulder-blades projecting like wings. Women too so. As to those with a melancholic or a rather sanguine complexion, they were attacked by ardent fevers, phrenitis and dysenteric troubles. Tenesmus affected young, phlegmatic people; the chronic diarrhoea and acrid, greasy stools affected persons of a bilious temperament.
2.14. εἶδος δὲ τῶν φθινωδέων ἦν τὸ λεῖον, τὸ ὑπόλευκον, τὸ φακῶδες, τὸ ὑπέρυθρον, τὸ χαροπόν, λευκοφλεγματίαι, πτερυγώδεες· καὶ γυναῖκες οὕτω. τὸ μελαγχολικὸν καὶ ὕφαιμον· οἱ καῦσοι καὶ τὰ φρενιτικὰ καὶ τὰ δυσεντεριώδεα τούτων ἥπτετο. τεινεσμοὶ νέοισι φλεγματώδεσιν· αἱ μακραὶ διάρροιαι καὶ τὰ δριμέα διαχωρήματα καὶ λιπαρὰ πικροχόλοισιν.
2.15. In all the cases described spring was the worst enemy, and caused the most deaths; summer was the most favourable season, in which fewest died. In autumn and during the season of the Pleiades, on the other hand, there were again deaths, usually on the fourth day. And it seems to me natural that the coming on of summer should have been helpful. For the coming on of winter resolves the diseases of summer, and the coming on of summer removes those of winter. And yet in itself the summer in question was not healthful; in fact it was suddenly hot, southerly, and calm. But nevertheless the change from the other constitution proved beneficial.
2.15. ἦν δὲ πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπογεγραμμένοις χαλεπώτατον μὲν τὸ ἔαρ καὶ πλείστους ἀπέκτεινε, τὸ δὲ θέρος ῥήϊστον, καὶ ἐλάχιστοι ἀπώλλυντο. τοῦ δὲ φθινοπώρου καὶ ὑπὸ πληϊάδα πάλιν ἔθνῃσκον, οἱ πολλοὶ τεταρταῖοι. δοκεῖ δέ μοι προσωφελῆσαι κατὰ λόγον τὸ γενόμενον θέρος. τὰς γὰρ θερινὰς νούσους χειμὼν ἐπιγενόμενος λύει, καὶ τὰς χειμερινὰς θέρος ἐπιγενόμενον μεθίστησι. καίτοι αὐτό γε ἐπὶ ἑωυτοῦ τὸ γενόμενον θέρος οὐκ εὐσταθὲς ἐγένετο· καὶ γὰρ ἐξαίφνης θερμὸν καὶ νότιον καὶ ἄπνοον· ἀλλʼ ὅμως πρὸς τὴν ἄλλην κατάστασιν μεταλλάξαν ὠφέλησε.
2.16. The power, too, to study correctly what has been written I consider to be an important part of the art of medicine. The man who has learnt these things and uses them will not, I think, make great mistakes in the art. And it is necessary to learn accurately each constitution of the seasons as well as the disease; what common element in the constitution or in the disease is good, and what common element in the constitution or in the disease is bad; what malady is protracted and fatal, what is protracted and likely to end in recovery; what acute illness is fatal, what acute illness is likely to end in recovery. With this knowledge it is easy to examine the order of the critical days, and to prognosticate therefrom. One who has knowledge of these matters can know whom he ought to treat, as well as the time and method of treatment.
2.16. μέγα δὲ μέρος ἡγεῦμαι τῆς τέχνης εἶναι τὸ δύνασθαι σκοπεῖν καὶ περὶ τῶν γεγραμμένων ὀρθῶς. ὁ γὰρ γνοὺς καὶ χρεώμενος τούτοις οὐκ ἄν μοι δοκεῖ μέγα σφάλλεσθαι ἐν τῇ τέχνῃ. δεῖ δὲ καταμανθάνειν τὴν κατάστασιν τῶν ὡρέων ἀκριβῶς ἑκάστην καὶ τὸ νόσημα, ἀγαθὸν ὅ τι κοινὸν ἐν τῇ καταστάσει ἢ ἐν τῇ νούσῳ, κακὸν ὅ τι κοινὸν ἐν τῇ καταστάσει ἢ ἐν τῇ νούσῳ, μακρὸν ὅ τι νόσημα καὶ θανάσιμον, μακρὸν ὅ τι καὶ περιεστικόν, ὀξὺ ὅ τι θανάσιμον, ὀξὺ ὅ τι περιεστικόν· τάξιν τῶν κρισίμων ἐκ τούτων σκοπεῖσθαι καὶ προλέγειν ἐκ τούτων εὐπορεῖται. εἰδότι περὶ τούτων ἔστιν εἰδέναι οὓς καὶ ὅτε καὶ ὡς δεῖ διαιτᾶν.

3.9. In Abdera Heropythus had pain in the head without taking to bed, but shortly afterwards was compelled to do so. He lived close to the Upper Road. An acute, ardent fever seized him. Vomited at the beginning copious, bilious matters; thirst; great discomfort; urine thin and black, sometimes with, sometimes without, substances suspended in it. Painful night, with fever rising now in this way, now in that, but for the most part irregularly. About the fourteenth day, deafness; the fever grew worse; urine the same. Twentieth day. Much delirium, also on the following days. Fortieth day. Copious epistaxis; more rational; some deafness, but less than before; the fever went down. Frequent, but slight, epistaxis on the following days. About the sixtieth day the bleedings from the nose ceased, but there was violent pain in the right hip and the fever increased. Not long afterwards, pains in all the lower parts. It happened that either the fever was higher and the deafness great, or else, though these symptoms were relieved and less severe, yet the pains in the lower parts about the hips grew worse. But from about the eightieth day all the symptoms were relieved without any disappearing. The urine that was passed was of good colour and had greater deposits, while the delirious mutterings were less. About the hundredth day the bowels were disordered with copious, bilious stools, and copious evacuations of this nature were passed for a long time. Then followed painful symptoms of dysentery, with relief of the other symptoms. In brief, the fever disappeared and the deafness ceased. Hundred and twentieth day. Complete crisis.

3.11. In Thasos a woman of gloomy temperament, after a grief with a reason for it, without taking to bed lost sleep and appetite, and suffered thirst and nausea. She lived near the place of Pylades on the plain. First day. As night began there were fears, much rambling, depression and slight feverishness. Early in the morning frequent convulsions; whenever these frequent convulsions intermitted, she wandered and uttered obscenities; many pains, severe and continuous. Second day. Same symptoms; no sleep; fever more acute. Third day. The convulsions ceased, but were succeeded by coma and oppression, followed in turn by wakefulness. She would jump up; could not restrain herself; wandered a great deal; fever acute; on this night a copious, hot sweating all over; no fever; slept, was perfectly rational, and had a crisis. About the third day urine black and thin, with particles mostly round floating in it, which did not settle. Near the crisis copious menstruation.

3.13. Apollonius in Abdera was ailing for a long time without being confined to bed. He had a swollen abdomen, and a continual pain in the region of the liver had been present for a long time; moreover, he became during this period jaundiced and flatulent; his complexion was whitish. After dining and drinking unseasonably cow’s milk he at first grew rather hot; he took to his bed. Having drunk copiously of milk, boiled and raw, both goat’s and sheep’s, and adopting a thoroughly bad regimen, he suffered much therefrom. For there were exacerbations of the fever; the bowels passed practically nothing of the food taken; the urine was thin and scanty. No sleep. Grievous distension; much thirst; coma; painful swelling of the right hypochondrium; extremities all round rather cold; slight delirious mutterings; forgetfulness of every-thing he said; he was not himself. About the fourteenth day from his taking to bed, after a rigor, he grew hot; wildly delirious; shouting, distress, much rambling, followed by calm; the coma came on at this time. Afterwards the bowels were disordered with copious stools, bilious, uncompounded and crude; urine black, scanty and thin. Great discomfort. The evacuations showed varying symptoms; they were either black, scanty and verdigris-coloured, or else greasy, crude and smarting; at times they seemed actually to be like milk. About the twenty-fourth day comfortable; in other respects the same, but he had lucid intervals. He remembered nothing since he took to bed. But he quickly was again delirious, and all symptoms took a sharp turn for the worse. About the thirtieth day acute fever; copious, thin stools; wandering; cold extremities; speechlessness. Thirty-fourth day. Death. This patient throughout, from the time I had knowledge of the case, suffered from disordered bowels; urine thin and black; coma; sleeplessness; extremities cold; delirious throughout.

3.15. In Thasos the wife of Delearces, who lay sick on the plain, was seized after a grief with an acute fever with shivering. From the beginning she would wrap herself up, and throughout, without speaking a word, she would fumble, pluck, scratch, pick hairs, weep and then laugh, but she did not sleep; though stimulated, the bowels passed nothing. She drank a little when the attendants suggested it. Urine thin and scanty; fever slight to the touch; coldness of the extremities. Ninth day. Much wandering followed by return of reason; silent. Fourteenth day. Respiration rare and large with long intervals, becoming afterwards short. Seventeenth day. Bowels under a stimulus passed disordered matters, then her very drink passed unchanged; nothing coagulated. The patient noticed nothing; the skin tense and dry. Twentieth day. Much rambling followed by recovery of reason; speechless; respiration short. Twenty-first day. Death. The respiration of this patient throughout was rare and large; took no notice of anything; she constantly wrapped herself up; either much rambling or silence throughout.
