13. Ὁ δὴ οὖν πλεῖστός μοι λόγος γέγονε περὶ τῆς μεταβολῆς
τῆς ἐπὶ τὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τά· ἐς πάντα μὲν οὖν εὔχρηστον ταῦτα εἰδέναι· ἀτὰρ καὶ περὶ οὗ ὁ λόγος ἦν, ὅτι ἐν
τῇσιν ὀξείῃσι νούσοισιν ἐς τὰ ῥοφήματα μεταβάλλουσιν ἐκ
τῆς κενεαγγείης· μεταβλητέον γὰρ ὡς ἐγὼ κελεύω· ἔπειτα οὐ
χρηστέον ῥοφήμασι πρὶν ἡ νοῦσος πεπανθῇ, ἢ ἄλλο τι σημεῖον
φανῇ, ἢ κατ᾿ ἔντερον κενεαγγικὸν, ἢ ἐρεθιστικὸν, ἢ
κατὰ τὰ ὑποχόνδρια, ὁκοῖα γεγράψεται. Ἀγρυπνίη ἰσχυρὴ
πόμα καὶ σιτίον ἀπεπτότερα ποιέει, καὶ ἡ ἐπὶ τὰ ἕτερα αὖ μεταβολὴ διαλύει σῶμα, καὶ ἑφθότητα καὶ καρηβαρίην
ἐμποιέει.

ὁ δὴ οὖν πλεῖστός μοι λόγος γέγονε περὶ τῆς μεταβολῆς τῆς ἐπὶ τὰ καὶ ἐπὶ τά· ἐς πάντα μὲν οὖν εὔχρηστον ταῦτα εἰδέναι· ἀτὰρ καὶ περὶ οὗ ὁ λόγος ἦν, ὅτι ἐν τῇσιν ὀξείῃσι νούσοισιν ἐς τὰ ῤοφήματα μεταβάλλουσιν ἐκ τῆς κενεαγγείης· μεταβλητέον γὰρ ὡς ἐγὼ κελεύω· ἔπειτα οὐ χρηστέον ῤοφήμασι πρὶν ἡ νοῦσος πεπανθῇ, ἢ ἄλλο τι σημεῖον φανῇ, ἢ κατʼ ἔντερον κενεαγγικὸν, ἢ ἐρεθιστικὸν, ἢ κατὰ τὰ ὑποχόνδρια, ὁκοῖα γεγράψεται. ἀγρυπνίη ἰσχυρὴ πόμα καὶ σιτίον ἀπεπτότερα ποιέει, καὶ ἡ ἐπὶ τὰ ἕτερα αὖ μεταβολὴ διαλύει σῶμα, καὶ ἑφθότητα καὶ κα ρηβαρίην ἐμποιέει.

[13] The greater part of my discourse has related to changes, this way or that. For all purposes it is profitable to know these things, and more especially respecting the subject under consideration,—that in acute diseases, in which a change is made to ptisans from a state of inanition, it should be made as I direct; and then that ptisans should not be used until the disease be concocted, or some other symptom, whether of evacuation or of irritation, appear in the intestines, or in the hypochondria, such as will be described. Obstinate insomnolency impairs the digestion of the food and drink, and in other respects changes and relaxes the body, and occasions a heated state, and heaviness of the head.¹
