ἢν δὲ τὸ τοῦ μηροῦ ὀστέον καταγῇ, τὴν κατάτασιν χρὴ ποιέεσθαι περὶ παντὸς, ὅκως μὴ ἐνδεεστέρως σχήσει: πλεονασθεῖσα μὲν γὰρ οὐδὲν ἂν σίνοιτο.

οὐδὲ γὰρ, εἰ διεστεῶτα τὰ ὀστέα ὑπὸ τῆς ἰσχύος τῆς κατατάσιος ἐπιδέοι τις, οὐκ ἂν δύναιτο κρατέειν ἡ ἐπίδεσις, ὥστε διεστάναι, ἀλλὰ συνέλθοι ἂν πρὸς ἄλληλα τὰ ὀστέα, ὡς τάχιστα ἂν ἀφείησαν οἱ τείνοντες: παχεῖαι γὰρ καὶ ἰσχυραὶ αἱ σάρκες ἐοῦσαι, κρατήσουσι τῆς ἐπιδέσιος, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ κρατηθήσονται.

περὶ οὗ οὖν ὁ λόγος, διατείνειν εὖ μάλα καὶ ἀδιαστρέπτως χρὴ, μηδὲν ἐπιλείποντα: μεγάλη γὰρ ἡ αἰσχύνη καὶ βλάβη βραχύτερον τὸν μηρὸν ἀποδεῖξαι.

χεὶρ μὲν γὰρ, βραχυτέρη γενομένη, καὶ ξυγκρυφθείη ἂν, καὶ οὐ μέγα τὸ σφάλμα: σκέλος δὲ βραχύτερον γενόμενον, χωλὸν ἀποδείξειε τὸν ἄνθρωπον: τὸ γὰρ ὑγιὲς ἐλέγχει παρατιθέμενον, μακρότερον ἐὸν, ὥστε λυσιτελέει τὸν μέλλοντα κακῶς ἰητρεύεσθαι, ἀμφότερα καταγῆναι τὰ σκέλεα μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ ἕτερον: ἰσόῤΡ῾οπος γοῦν ἂν εἴη αὐτὸς ἑωυτῷ.

ἐπὴν μέντοι ἱκανῶς κατατανύσῃς, κατορθωσάμενον χρὴ τοῖσι θέναρσι τῶν χειρῶν ἐπιδεῖν τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον, ὥσπερ καὶ πρόσθεν γέγραπται, καὶ τὰς ἀρχὰς βαλλόμενον, ὥσπερ εἴρηται, καὶ νεμόμενον ἐς τὸ ἄνω τῇ ἐπιδέσει.

καὶ ὑποκρινέσθω ταὐτὰ ὥσπερ καὶ πρόσθεν, καὶ πονεέτω κατὰ ταὐτὰ καὶ Ρ῾ηϊζέτω, καὶ μετεπιδείσθω

ὡσαύτως: καὶ ναρθήκων πρόσθεσις ἡ αὐτή.

κρατύνεται δὲ ὁ μηρὸς ἐν πεντήκοντα ἡμέρῃσιν.
