17. αἱ δὲ καθʼ ἡμέρην καταστάσιες, αἱ μὲν βόρειοι τά τε σώματα ξυνιστᾶσι, καὶ εὔτονα καὶ εὐκίνητα καὶ εὔχροα καὶ εὐηκοώτερα ποιέουσι, καὶ τὰς κοιλίας ξηραίνουσι, καὶ τὰ ὄμματα δάκνουσι, καὶ περὶ τὸν θώρηκα ἄλγημα ἤν τι προϋπάρχῃ, μᾶλλον πονέουσιν· αἱ δὲ νότιοι διαλύουσι τὰ σώματα καὶ ὑγραίνουσι, καὶ βαρυηκοΐας καὶ καρηβαρίας καὶ ἰλίγγους ποιέουσιν, ἐν δὲ τοῖσιν ὀφθαλμοῖσι καὶ τοῖσι σώμασι δυσκινησίην, καὶ τὰς κοιλίας ὑγραίνουσιν.
