Πυρετὸν τοίνυν, ἵν᾽ ἐντεῦθεν τοῦ λόγου ἄρξωμαι, ἄλλοι μὲν ἄλλως ὡρίσαντο, Ἐμπεδοκλῆς δὲ καὶ Ζήνων καὶ τῶν Ἱπποκρατείων οἱ πλείους θερμασίαν παρὰ φύσιν, ἀπὸ καρδίας μὲν ἀρχομένην, προϊοῦσαν δὲ ἐκ ταύτης δι᾽ ἀρτηριῶν καὶ φλεβῶν ἐφ᾽ ἅπαν τὸ σῶμα, καὶ τὰς φυσικὰς αἰσθγτῶς βλάπτουσαν ἐνεργείας, ἔφασαν εἶναι· καὶ εἰκότως.
