σύριγξ, ἄνθει χαλκοῦ καὶ σμύρνῃ καὶ λίτρῳ οὔρῳ διεὶς, κλύζειν,
καὶ ἐς τὸ στόμα τῆς σύριγγος μολύβδιον ἐντιθέναι, ὅπως μὴ ξυμφύηται·
κλύζειν δὲ πτεροῦ σύριγγα προσδήσας πρὸς κύστιν, καὶ καθεὶς ἐς τὴν σύριγγα, πρὸς τοῦτο διάγειν κλύζων. Ὑγιὴς δὲ οὐ γίνεται,
ἢν μὴ τμηθῇ.

ἢν δὲ ἐν χωρίῳ ᾖ, ὃ μὴ οἷόν τε τάμνειν, βαθείη δὲ καὶ ἡ σύριγξ, ἄνθει χαλκοῦ καὶ σμύρνῃ καὶ λίτρῳ οὔρῳ διεὶς, κλύζειν, καὶ ἐς τὸ στόμα τῆς σύριγγος μολύβδιον ἐντιθέναι, ὅπως μὴ ξυμφύηται· κλύζειν δὲ πτεροῦ σύριγγα προσδήσας πρὸς κύστιν, καὶ καθεὶς ἐς τὴν σύριγγα, πρὸς τοῦτο διάγειν κλύζων. ὑγιὴς δὲ οὐ γίνεται, ἢν μὴ τμηθῇ.

[6] But if the fistula be in a part which does not admit of this treatment, and if it be deep, syringe it with the flowers of copper, and myrrh, and natron, diluted with urine, and introduce a piece of lead into the orifice of the fistula so that it may not close. Syringe the fistula by means of a quill attached to a bladder, so that the injection may distend the fistula. But it does not heal unless it be cut open.
