Κεφ. η. περὶ Κωλικῶν.

Κωλικοὶ δὴ κτείνον ται εἰλεῷ καὶ στρόφῳ ὀξέως. πάνυ μὲν οὖν αἴτια μυρία ἴσχει τῆς διαθέσιος: σημήϊα, βάρος μὲν ἐπ᾽ ἀσιτίῃ, ἔνθα δὴ τὸ πάθος μάλιστά γε κραίνει : ὄκνος πουλὺς, νωθέες, ἀπόσιτοι, ἰσχνοὶ, ἄγρυπνοι, οἰδαλέοι πρόσωπα: κἢν μὲν πρὸς τῷ σπληνὶ νοσέῃ κῶλον, μελάγχλωροι. λευκόχλωροι δὲ, ὁκόσοις πρὸς ἥπατι, ξυμπαθείῃ τῶν ἄγχιστα σπλάγχνων: ἢν δὲ προσαίρωνται τροφὴν, καὶ ἐπὶ σμικρῇ καὶ ἀφύσῳ κάρτα φυσώδεες, καὶ προθυμίη μὲν ἐς διαπνοὴν,

[p. 109] ἀδιέξοδοι δὲ φῦσαι, ἐρυγαί τε ἄνω βιώμεναι, ἀτὰρ καὶ αἵδε ἀτελέες. ἢν δέ πηπερήσῃ βίᾳ, φῦσαι βρωμώδεες μὲν αἱ ἄνω καὶ ὀξυρεγμιώδεες: νεφροὶ καὶ κύστις ξυμπαθέα πόνῳ καὶ ἰσχουρίῃ: τουτέοισι ἄλλα ἀντ᾽ ἄλλων. θωῦμα δὲ τουτέων μέζον, ἐς ὄρχιας καὶ κρεμαστῆρας ἀδόκητον ἄλγος ἐπιφοιτῇ : πολλοὺς τῶν ἰητρῶν ἥδε ἡ ξυμπαθείη λήθει. καὶ γὰρ καὶ ἐξέταμόν κοτε τοὺς κρεμαστῆρας, ὡς ἰδίην ἔχοντας αἰτίην. ἀλλὰ γὰρ καὶ τουτέοισι ἀντ᾽ ἄλλων ἄλλα.

γίγνονται δὲ καὶ ἀπότοκοι τοῦδε νοῦσοι, ἀποστάσιες μὲν καὶ ἕλκεα οὐκ εὐήθεα: ὕδεροι δὲ καὶ φθίσιες, ἀναλθέα. ἐπὶ γὰρ ψύξι καὶ χυμοῖσι παχέσι καὶ φλέγματι πολλῷ κολλώδεϊ ξυνίσταται ἡ νοῦσος: ἀτὰρ καὶ ἡλικίῃ καὶ ὥρῃ ψυχρῇ ἐπιφοιτῇ, χώρῃ, καὶ χείματι καρτερῷ.
