3 Est etiam ulcus, quod a fici similitudine sycosis a Graecis nominatur: caro excrescit. Et id quidem generale est: sub eo vero duae species sunt: alterum ulcus durum et rotundum est, alterum umidum et inaequale. Ex duro exiguum quiddam et glutinosum exit, ex † sumplus et mali odoris. Fit utrumque in is partibus, quae pilis conteguntur: sed id quidem, quod callosum et rotundum est, maxime in barba, id vero, quod umidum, praecipue in capillo.— Super utrumque oportet inponere elaterium aut lini semen contritum et aqua coactum aut ficum in aqua decoctam aut emplastrum tetrapharmacum ex aceto subactum; terra quoque Eretria ex aceto liquata recte inlinitur.
