LISTS OF THE HIPPOCRATIC COLLECTION
[Works known to the authors, not necessarily attributed
by them to Hippocrates.]
[p. xxxix]
Erotian knew also
περὶ τραυμάτων καὶ βελῶν, now lost.
The double XX means "by quotation, but not in the list."
[p. xl]
N.B.--The list of Bacchius is made by noting
where in the Hippocratic collection occur the
strange words upon which he commented ; that of
Celsus by a comparison of similar passages ; that
of Erotian from his list, by noting where occur the
γλῶς1ς1αι explained by him, and from fragments in
scholia (see E. Nachmanson's edition, pp. 99 foll.).
Of course the list of Celsus is dubious from its
nature, and Bacchius may have known many more
treatises than those we are sure he did know.
The recently discovered history of medicine called
Menon's
Iatrica1 contains several references to
Hippocrates. Diels is of opinion that they are very
erroneous.

In V. the writer says that according to Hippocrates
diseases are caused by "airs" (
φῦς1αι), a statement
which seems to be taken from
περὶ φυς1ῶν, VI.
98 foll. Littré, and the doctrine is described in V.
and VI. In VII. Hippocrates is said to hold doctrines
which are taken from
Nature of Man, VI. 52 foll.
Littré. In VIII. occur references to
Places in Man,
VI. 276, 294 Littré, and
Glands, VIII. 564 Littré.
In XIX. occur references to
Nature of Man, VI. 38
Littré, but the physician named is Polybus.
