γινέϲθω δ᾿ ἡ πεῖρά ϲοι διὰ τῶν ἐμετικῶν φαρμάκων ὅϲα μέτρια· ἐὰν γὰρ φαίνηται μὴ ῥᾳδίωϲ καθαιρόμενοϲ, οὐ χρὴ τὸν τοιοῦτον ἄνθρωπον ἐπὶ τὸν ἐλλέβορον ἄγειν ἄνευ τοῦ προπαραϲκευάϲαι. γένοιτο δ᾿ ἂν τὸ τοιοῦτο καὶ δι᾿ αὐτῶν μὲν τῶν ϲυνεχών ἐμέτων, ἐθιϲθέντοϲ ἑτοίμωϲ ἐμεῖν τοῦ ληψομένου τὸν ἐλλέβορον· γένοιτο δ᾿ ἂν ἄμεινον καὶ διὰ τοῦ προϋγρᾶναι τὰ ϲώματα, προϋγραίνεται δὲ πλείονι τροφῇ καὶ ἀναπαύϲει.
