εἰσὶ δέ τινες, ὧν τοῖσι μὲν ἐκ γενεῆς αὐτίκα, τοῖσι δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ νούσου ἀμφοτέρων τῶν σκελέων ἐξέστη τὰ ἄρθρα ἐς τὸ ἔξω μέρος: τούτοισιν οὖν τὰ μὲν ὀστέα ταὐτὰ παθήματα πάσχει: αἱ μέντοι

σάρκες ἥκιστα ἐκθηλύνονται τοῖσι τοιούτοισιν: εὔσαρκα δὲ καὶ τὰ σκέλεα γίνεται, πλὴν εἴ τι ἄρα κατὰ τὸ εἴσω μέρος ἐλλείποι ὀλίγον: διὰ τοῦτο δὲ εὔσαρκά ἐστιν, ὅτι ἀμφοτέροισι τοῖσι σκέλεσιν ὁμοίως ἡ χρῆσις γίνεται: ὁμοίως γὰρ σαλεύουσιν ἐν τῇ ὁδοιπορίῃ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα: ἐξεχέγλουτοι δὲ οὗτοι ἰσχυρῶς φαίνονται διὰ τὴν ἔκστασιν τῶν ἄρθρων.

ἢν δὲ μὴ ἐπισφακελίσῃ αὐτοῖσι τὰ ὀστέα, μηδὲ κυφοὶ ἀνωτέρω τῶν ἰσχίων γένωνται ῾ἐνίους γὰρ καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα καταλαμβάνεἰ, ἢν οὖν μὴ τοιοῦτόν τι γένηται, ἱκανῶς ὑγιηροὶ τἄλλα διαφέρονται: ἀναυξέστεροι μέντοι τὸ πᾶν σῶμα οὗτοι γίνονται, πλὴν τῆς κεφαλῆς.
