1 Our author here has evidently in view a passage contained in the Hippocratic treatise “On the Sacred Disease.” See Syd. Soc. Ed ... ii ... 851. I cannot see the same objection to φθόνῳ, the common reading, as Ermerins does, who proposes to substitute φθόρῳ in place of it. The other, although metaphorical, is quite in the style of our author.
