Οἱ ἐπὶ βουβῶσι πυρετοὶ πάντες κακοὶ, πλὴν τῶν ἐφημέρων. Ἐφήμεροι πυρετοὶ πάντες πρὸς αὐτοῦ καλοῦνται ὅσοι κατὰ τὸν ἴδιον λόγον ἡμέρᾳ γίγνονται μιᾷ. τοιοῦτοι δέ εἰσι καὶ οἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς βουβῶσιν, ὅταν ἐπὶ φανεροῖς αἰτίοις συστῶσι. τοὺς δ’ ἄλλους βουβῶνας, ὅσοι χωρὶς αἰτίας φανερᾶς ἐγένοντο, ταῖς τῶν σπλάγχνων εἰκός ἐστι συνεισβάλλειν φλεγμοναῖς καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ τοὺς ἅμα αὐτοῖς γιγνομένους πυρετοὺς κακοὺς εἶναι.
