τὸ γοῦν μύρον ὁ μὲν κεφαλαλγικὸς ἀηδὲς εἶναί φησιν, ὁ δὲ μὴ οὕτως ἔχων ἡδύ. καὶ οἱ θεόληπτοι δὲ καὶ οἱ φρενιτίζοντες νιτίζοντες ἀκούειν δοκοῦσί τινων διαλεγομένων αὐτοῖς, ὧν ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἐπακούομεν. καὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ὕδωρ τοῖς μὲν φλεγμαίνουσιν ἀηδὲς εἶναι δοκεῖ δι’ ὑπερβολὴν θερμότητος,
τοῖς δ’ ἄλλοις χλιαρόν.

[52] Nay, even smell is not consistent with itself; for certainly the sufferer from headache declares myrrh to be unpleasant, while one who does not so suffer calls it pleasant. And those who are possessed or in a frenzy fancy they hear persons conversing with them whom we do not hear. And the same water seems to those in a fever to be unpleasant because of its excessive heat, but to all others tepid.
