28.

ἢν δ᾽ ἄρα ἐξαπατηθῇς ἐν τοῖσι νεοτρώτοισι, μὴ οἰόμενος ὀστέων ἀπόστασιν ἔσεσθαι, τὰ δ᾽ ἐπίδοξα ᾖ ἀναπλῶσαι, οὐ

χρὴ ὀῤΡ῾ωδέειν τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον τῆς ἰητρείης: οὐδὲν γὰρ ἂν μέγα φλαῦρον γένοιτο, ἢν μοῦνον οἷός τε ᾖς τῇ χειρὶ τὰς ἐπιδέσιας ἀγαθὰς καὶ ἀσινέας ποιέεσθαι.

σημεῖον δὲ τόδε, ἢν μέλλῃ ὀστέων ἀπόστασις ἔσεσθαι ἐν τῷ τρόπῳ τούτῳ τῆς ἰητρείης: πῦον γὰρ συχνὸν Ρ῾έει ἐκ τοῦ ἕλκεος, καὶ ὀργᾷν φαίνεται.

πυκνότερον οὖν μετεπιδέεσθαι διὰ τὸν πλάδον: ἐπεὶ ἄλλως τε καὶ ἀπύρετοι γίνονται, ἢν μὴ κάρτα πιέζωνται ὑπο τῆς ἐπιδέσιος, καὶ τὸ ἕλκος, καὶ τὰ περιέχοντα ἰσχνά.

ὅσαι μὲν οὖν λεπτῶν πάνυ ὀστέων ἀποστάσιες, οὐδεμιῆς μεγάλης μεταβολῆς δέονται, ἀλλ᾽ ἢ χαλαρωτέρως ἐπίδεῖν, ὡς μὴ ἀπολαμβάνηται τὸ

πῦον, ἀλλ᾽ εὐαπόῤΡ῾υτον ᾖ, καὶ πυκνότερον μετεπιδεῖν, ἔστ᾽ ἂν ἀποστῇ τὸ ὀστέον, καὶ νάρθηκας μὴ προστιθέναι.
