4. Οὐ χρὴ οὐδ’ ἐμπλάσσειν τὰ φάρμακα, πρὶν ἂν πάνυ ξηρὸν
ποιήσῃς τὸ ἕλκος· τότε δὲ δεῖ προστιθέναι, ἀνασπογγίζειν δὲ τὸ ἕλκος
πολλάκις σπόγγῳ, καὶ αὖθις ὀθόνιον ξηρὸν καὶ καθαρὸν προσίσχων
πολλάκις, οὕτω δὲ ἐπιθεὶς τὸ φάρμακον τὸ δοκέον ξυμφέρειν,
ἐπιδεῖν ἢ μὴ ἐπιδεῖν.

οὐ χρὴ οὐδʼ ἐμπλάσσειν τὰ φάρμακα, πρὶν ἂν πάνυ ξηρὸν ποιήσῃς τὸ ἕλκος· τότε δὲ δεῖ προστιθέναι, ἀνασπογγίζειν δὲ τὸ ἕλκος πολλάκις σπόγγῳ, καὶ αὖθις δθόνιον ξηρὸν καὶ καθαρὸν προσίσχων πολλάκις, οὕτω δὲ ἐπιθεὶς τὸ φάρμακον τὸ δοκέον ξυμφέρειν, ἐπιδεῖν ἢ μὴ ἐπιδεῖν.

[4] And when you want to apply a bandage, no plasters are to be used until you have rendered the sore dry, and then indeed you may apply them. The ulcer is to be frequently cleaned with a sponge, and then a dry and clean piece of cloth is to be frequently applied to it, and in this way the medicine which it is supposed will agree with it is to be applied, either with or without a bandage.
