7. Ἐπιδέσιος δύο εἴδεα, εἰργασμένον, καὶ ἐργαζόμενον.
Ἐργαζόμενον μὲν, ταχέως, ἀπόνως, εὐπόρως, εὐρύθμως· ταχέως
μὲν, ἀνύειν τὰ ἔργα· ἀπόνως δὲ, ῥηῖδίως δρῇν· εὐπόρως δὲ, ἐς
πᾶν ἑτοίμως· εὐρύθμως δὲ, ὁρῆσθαι ἡδέως· ἀφ᾿ ὧν δὲ ταῦτα
ἀσκημάτων, εἴρηται. Εἰργασμένον δὲ ἀγαθῶς, καλῶς· καλῶς μὲν,
ἁπλῶς, εὐκρινέως· ἢ ὅμοια καὶ ἴσα, ἴσως καὶ ὁμοίως· ἢ ἄνισα
καὶ ἀνόμοια [, ἀνίσως καὶ ἀνομοίως]· τὰ δὲ εἴδεα, ἁπλοῦν, σκέπαρνον, σιμὸν, ὀφθαλμὸς, ῥόμβος, καὶ ἡμίτομον·
ἁρμόζον τὸ εἶδος τῷ εἴδει καὶ τῷ πάθει τοῦ ἐπιδεομένου.

[7] There are two views of bandaging: that which regards it while doing, and that which regards it when done. It should be done quickly, without pain, with ease, and with elegance; quickly, by despatching the work; without pain, by being readily done; with ease, by being prepared for everything; and with elegance, so that it may be agreeable to the sight. By what mode of training these accomplishments are to be acquired has been stated. When done, it should fit well and neatly; it is neatly done when with judgment, and when it is equal and unequal, according as the parts are equal or unequal. The forms of it (the bandage?) are the simple, the slightly winding (called ascia), the sloping (sima), the monoculus, the rhombus, and the semi-rhombus. The form of bandage should be suitable to the form and the affection of the part to which it is applied.
