1 Hippocrat. Aph ... 2.
2 The common reading is θανάτου ἡ φύσις, to which Ermerins adds ἥδε, which I have substituted for ἡ, so as to produce a suitable reading with little violence to the text.
3 The common reading, κακόν τι, is obviously at fault. The present reading is adopted by Ermerins, only using ἰγνύῃ in place of ἰγνύη. Still there is something unsatisfactory in the text. Ἰγνὺς and ἰγνύη are applied, in strictness, to the back part of the thigh at its lower extremity.
4 Ermerins adopts this reading, partly on the suggestions of Petit, and partly from the margin of Henisch. It is also the reading of the Askew ms. The common reading is ἕλκει. Neither the one nor the other is quite satisfactory.
