Παραλύσεως σφυγμὸς μικρὸς καὶ ἀμυδρὸς καὶ βραδύς ἐστι, καὶ τισὶ μὲν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀραιὸς, τισὶ δὲ καὶ πυκνὸς μὲν, ἀλλ’ ὑποδιαλείπων ἀτάκτως. Μικρὸς μὲν καὶ βραδύς ἐστιν ὁ τῶν παραλελυμένων σφυγμὸς, ὅτι ψυχρὸν τὸ πάθος· ἀμυδρὸς δὲ, ὅτι καὶ ἡ δυνάμις ἀῤῥωστοτέρα. μείζονος δὲ τῆς ἐν αὐτῷ γενομένης καταλύσεως πυκνὸς ἅμα καὶ ἀνώμαλος καὶ ὑπολείπων ἀτάκτως. εἴρηται δ’ ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν ἡ αἰτία κατὰ τὸ δεύτερον τῶνδε τῶν ὑπομνημάτων.
