18.

τῶν δὲ παιδίων τὰ ὀστέα καὶ λεπτότερά ἐστι καὶ μαλθακώτερα διὰ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἐναιμότερά ἐστι, καὶ κοῖλα, καὶ σηραγγώδεα, καὶ οὔτε πυκνὰ, οὔτε στερεά.

καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν βελέων ἴσων τε ἐόντων καὶ ἀσθενεστέρων, καὶ τρωθέντων ὁμοίως τε καὶ ἧσσον, τὸ τοῦ νεωτέρου παιδίου καὶ μᾶλλον καὶ θᾶσσον ὑποπυΐσκεται, ἢ τὸ τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου, καὶ ἐν ἐλάσσονι χρόνῳ: καὶ ὅσα ἂν ἄλλως μέλλῃ ἀποθανεῖσθαι ἐκ τοῦ τρώματος, ὁ νεώτερος τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου θᾶσσον ἀπόλλυται.

ἀλλὰ χρὴ, ἢν ψιλωθῇ τῆς σαρκὸς τὸ ὀστέον, προσέχοντα τὸν νόον, πειρῆσθαι διαγινώσκειν ὅ τι μή ἐστι τοῖσιν ὀφθαλμοῖσιν ἰδεῖν, καὶ γνῶναι εἰ ἔῤΡ῾ωγε τὸ ὀστέον καὶ εἰ πέφλασται, ἢ μοῦνον πέφλασται, καὶ εἰ, ἕδρης γενομένης τοῦ βέλεος, πρόσεστι φλάσις, ἢ Ρ῾ωγμὴ, ἢ ἄμφω ταῦτα: καὶ ἤν τι τούτων πεπόνθῃ τὸ ὀστέον, ἀφεῖναι τοῦ αἵματος τρυπῶντα τὸ ὀστέον σμικρῷ τρυπάνῳ, φυλασσόμενον ἐπ᾽ ὀλίγον: λεπτότερον γὰρ τὸ ὀστέον, καὶ ἐπιπολαιότερον τῶν νέων ἢ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων.
