Ἐπιστῆσαι δὲ ἄξιον, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ταῦτα τὰ ῥηθέντα αἴτια τῶν νοσημάτων γίνεται αἴτια, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὰ τὰ νοσήματα νοσημάτων ἑτέρων ἐστιν ὅτε γένοιτ’ ἂν αἴτια. Ἐκ γὰρ τοῦ ἐφημέρου, ὥσπερ τινὸς αἰτίου, πυρετὸς ἔστιν ὅτε γίγνεται καὶ σηπεδονώδης ἀμέσως καὶ ἑκτικός, καὶ ἐκ σηπεδονώδους αὖ πάλιν ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πλεῖστον ὁ ἑκτικός. Εἰ δ᾽ ἐξ ἑκτικοῦ κατὰ τὸ ἀνάπαλιν δυνατὸν γενέσθαι ποτὲ σηπεδονώδη τε καὶ ἐφήμερον, καὶ ἐκ σηπεδονώδους πάλιν ἐφήμερον, ἴσως ἐν τοῖς ἑξῆς θεωρήσομεν.
