οἷσιν ἕλκεα ἐγένετο, ἢ αὐτίκα, ἢ ὀστέων ἐξισχόντων, ἢ ἔπειτα, ἢ κνησμῶν, ἢ τρηχυσμῶν, ταῦτα μὲν ἢν αἰσθῇ, εὐθέως σας, πισσηρὴν ἐπὶ τὸ ἕλκος ἐπιθεὶς, ἐπιδεῖν ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ ἕλκος πρῶτον τὴν ἀρχὴν βαλλόμενος, καὶ τἄλλα ὡς οὐ ταύτῃ τοῦ σίνεος ἐόντος: οὕτω γὰρ αὐτό τε ἰσχνότατον, καὶ ἐκπυήσει τάχιστα, καὶ περιῤΡ῾ήξεται, καὶ καθαρθέντα τάχιστα φύσεται νάρθηκας δὲ μήτε κατ᾽ αὐτὸ τοῦτο προσάγειν, μήτε πιέζειν: καὶ ὧν ὀστέα μὴ μεγάλα ἄπεισιν, οὕτω ποιέειν: ὧν δὲ μεγάλα, οὔ: πολλὴ γὰρ ἐμπύησις, καὶ ταῦτ᾽ οὐκ ἔτι οὕτως, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνέψυκται τῶν ὑποστασίων εἵνεκα.

τὰ δὲ τοιαῦτα ὁπόσα ἐξέσχε, καὶ, εἴ τε ἐμβληθῇ, εἴ τε μὴ, ἐπίδεσις μὲν οὐκ ἐπιτήδειον, διάτασις δὲ, σφαῖραι ποιηθεῖσαι, οἷαι πέδαις, ἡ μὲν παρὰ σφυρὸν, ἡ δὲ παρὰ γόνυ, ἐς κνήμην πλατεῖαι, προσηνέες, ἰσχυραὶ, κρίκους ἔχουσαι: ῥάβδοι τε σύμμετροι κρανίης καὶ μῆκος καὶ πάχος, ὥστε διατείνειν: ἱμάντια δὲ ἐξ ἄκρων ἀμφοτέρωθεν ἔχοντα εἰς τοὺς κρίκους ἐνδεδέσθαι, ὡς τὰ

ἄκρα ἐς τὰς σφαίρας ἐνστηριζόμενα διαναγκάζῃ.

ἴησις δὲ, πισσηρὴ θερμή: σχήματα, καὶ ποδὸς. θέσις καὶ ἰσχίου: δίαιτα ἀτρεκής.

ἐμβάλλειν τὰ ὀστέα τὰ ὑπερίσχοντα αὐθήμερα, ἢ δευτεραῖα, τεταρταῖα δὲ ἢ πεμπταῖα, μὴ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὴν ἰσχνὰ ᾖ.

ἡ δ᾽ ἐμβολὴ τοῖσι μοχλικοῖσιν: ἢ τὸ ἐμβαλλόμενον τοῦ ὀστέου, ἢν μὴ ἔχῃ ἀποστήριξιν, ἀποπρῖσαι τῶν κωλυόντων.

ἀτὰρ καὶ ὡς τὰ ψιλωθέντα ἀποπεσεῖται, καὶ βραχύτερα τὰ μέλεα.
