Τὸ οὖν παιδίον αὐξεῖ καὶ μεγεθύνεται καὶ καθ' ἡμέραν κατὰ βραχὺ τρέφεται ἐκ τῶν αἱμάτων τῶν κατερχομένων τῶν καταμηνίων τῆς μήτρας, ὥς φησιν ὁ Ἱπποκράτης. γυνὴ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα καὶ φλεβοτομηθεῖσα ἀντιτρώσκει, γνοὺς ὅτι τὸ αἷμα τροφή ἐστι τοῦ παιδίου, καὶ μᾶλλον τὸ ἔμβρυον διὰ στέρησιν τροφῆς ἐκτιτρώσκεται.
