4. Περὶ δὲ χειρῶν φορῆς τάδε γιγνώσκω· ὁκόσοισιν ἐν πυρετοῖσιν
ὀξέσιν, ἢ ἐν περιπλευμονίῃσιν, ἢ ἐν φρενίτισιν, ἢ ἐν
κεφαλαλγίῃσι, πρὸ τοῦ προσώπου φερομένας καὶ θηρευούσας
διὰ κενῆς, καὶ ἀποκαρφολογεούσας, καὶ κροκίδας ἀπὸ τῶν ἱματίων
ἀποτιλλούσας, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ τοίχου ἄχυρα ἀποσπώσας, πάσας
εἶναι κακὰς καὶ θανατώδεας.
