9.

ποὺς δὲ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ πολλῶν καὶ μικρῶν ὀστέων ξύγκειται, ὥσπερ χεὶρ ἄκρη.

κατάγνυται μὲν οὐ πάνυ τι ταῦτα τὰ ὀστέα, ἢν μὴ ξὺν τῷ χρωτὶ τιτρωσκομένῳ ὑπὸ ὀξέος τινὸς ἢ βαρέος: τὰ μὲν οὖν τιτρωσκόμενα, ἐν ἑλκωσίων μέρει εἰρήσεται, ὡς χρὴ ἰητρεύειν.

ἢν δέ τι κινηθῇ ἐκ τῆς χώρης, ἢ τῶν δακτύλων ἄρθρον, ἢ ἄλλο τι τῶν ὀστέων τοῦ ταρσοῦ καλεομένου, ἀναγκάζειν μὲν χρὴ ἐς τὴν ἑωυτοῦ χώρην ἕκαστον, ὥσπερ

καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ εἴρηται: ἰητρεύειν δὲ κηρωτῇ καὶ σπλήνεσι καὶ ὀθονίοισιν, ὥσπερ καὶ τὰ κατήγματα, πλὴν τῶν ναρθήκων, τὸν μὲν ατὸν τρόπον πιεζεῦντα, διὰ τρίτης δὲ ἐπιδέοντα: ὑποκρινέσθω δὲ ὁ ἐπιδεόμενος παραπλήσια, οἷά περ καὶ ἐν τοῖσι κατήγμασι, καὶ περὶ τοῦ πεπιέχθαι, καὶ περὶ τοῦ χαλᾷν.

ὑγιέα δὲ γίνεται ἐν εἴκοσιν ἡμέρῃσι τελέως ἅπαντα, πλὴν ὁκόσα κοινωνέει τοῖσι τῆς κνήμης ὀστέοισι: καὶ αὐτέῃ τῇ ἴξει.

ξυμφέρει δὲ κατακεῖσθαι τοῦτον τὸν χρόνον: ἀλλὰ γὰρ οὐ τολμέουσιν ὑπερορῶντες τὸ νόσημα, ἀλλὰ περιέρχονται, πρὶν ὑγιέες γενέσθαι.

διὰ τοῦτο καὶ οἱ πλεῖστοι οὐκ ἐξυγιαίνουσι τελέως.

ἀλλὰ πολλάκις αὐτοὺς ὁ πόνος ὑπομιμνήσκει: εἰκότως: ὅλον γὰρ τὸ ἄχθος τοῦ σώματος οἱ πόδες ὀχέουσιν.

ὁκόταν οὖν μήπω ὑγιέες ἐόντες ὁδοιπορέωσι, φλαύρως ξυναλθάσσεται τὰ ἄρθρα τὰ κινηθέντα: διὰ τοῦτο ἄλλοτε καὶ ἄλλοτε ὁδοιπορέοντες ὀδυνῶνται τὰ πρὸς τῇ κνήμῃ.
