6. Ἕτερος τρόπος ἰήσιος αἱμοῤῥοΐδων· καυστῆρα ποιήσασθαι,
οἷον καλαμίσκον φραγμίτην· σιδήριον δὲ ἐναρμόσαι καλῶς ἁρμόζον·
ἔπειτα τὸν αὐλίσκον ἐνθεὶς ἐς τὴν ἕδρην, διαφαῖνον τὸ σιδήριον καθιέναι,
καὶ πυκνὰ ἐξαιρέειν, ἵνα μᾶλλον ἀνέχηται θερμαινόμενος·
καὶ οὔτε ἕλκος ἕξει ὑπὸ τῆς θερμασίης, ὑγιέα τε ξηρανθέντα τὰ
φλέβια.

Another method of curing hemorrhoids:—You must prepare a cautery like the arundo phragmites, and an iron that exactly fits is to be adapted to it; then the tube being introduced into the anus, the iron, red hot, is to be passed down it, and frequently drawn out, so that the part may bear the more heat, and no sore may result from the heating, and the dried veins may heal up.
