24.

ταῦτα μὲν δὴ, ὅσοισι τὰ μὲν ὀστέα κατέηγεν, ἐξέχει δὲ μὴ, μηδὲ ἄλλως ἕλκος ἐγένετο.

οἷσι δὲ τὰ ὀστέα

κατέηγεν ἁπλῷ τῷ τρόπῳ, καὶ μὴ πουλυσχιδεῖ, ἐξέσχε δὲ, αὐθήμερα ἐμβληθέντα, ἢ τῇ ὑστεραίῃ, καὶ κατὰ χώρην ἱζόμενα, καὶ μὴ ἐπίδοξος ἡ ἀπόστασις παρασχίδων ὀστέων ἀπιέναι, ἢ καὶ οἷσιν ἕλκος μὲν ἐγένετο, τὰ δὲ ὀστέα τὰ κατεηγότα οὐκ ἐξίσχει, οὐδ᾽ ὁ τρόπος τῆς κατήξιος τοιοῦτος, οἷος παρασχίδας ὀστέων εἶναι ἐπιδόξους ἀναπλῶσαι, τοὺς τοιούτους οἱ μὲν μήτε μέγα

ἀγαθὸν, μήτε μέγα κακὸν ποιέοντες, ἰητρεύουσι τὰ μὲν ἕλκεα καθαρτικῷ τινι, ἢ πισσηρὴν ἐπιθέντες, ἢ ἔναιμον, ἢ ἄλλο τι ὧν εἰώθασι ποιέειν: ἐπάνω δὲ τοὺς οἰνηροὺς σπλῆνας ἢ εἴρια Ρ῾υπαρὰ ἐπιδέουσιν, ἢ ἄλλο τι τοιοῦτον.

ἐπὴν δὲ τὰ ἕλκεα καθαρὰ γένηται, καὶ ἤδη ξυμφύηται, τότε τοῖσιν ὀθονίοισί συχνοῖσι πειρῶνται ἐπιδεῖν, καὶ νάρθηξι κατορθοῦν.

αὕτη μὲν ἡ ἴησις ἀγαθόν τι ποιέει, κακὸν δὲ οὐ μέγα.

τὰ μέντοι ὀστέα οὐχ ὁμοίως δύναται ἱδρύεσθαι ἐς τὴν ἑωυτῶν χώρην, ἀλλά τινι ὀγκηρότερα τὰ ὀστέα τοῦ καιροῦ ταύτῃ γίνεται: γένοιτο δ᾽ ἂν καὶ βραχύτερα, ὧν ἀμφότερα τὰ ὀστέα κατέηγεν ἢ πήχεος, ἢ κνήμης.
