29. Δακτύλου δὲ ἄρθρον, ὀλισθὸν μὲν, εὔσημον. ἐμβολὴ δὲ, κατατείναντα ἐς ἰθὺ, τὸ μὲν ἐξέχον ἀπωθέειν, τὸ δὲ ἐναντίον ἀντωθέειν· ἴησις δὲ, ὀθονίοισιν. Μὴ ἐμπεσὸν δὲ, ἐπιπωροῦται ἔξωθεν Ἐκ γενεῆς δὲ ἢ ἐν αὐξήσει ἐξαρθρήσαντα, τὰ ὀστέα βραχύνεται τὰ κάτω τοῦ ὀλισθήματος, καὶ σάρκες μινύθουσι τἀναντία μάλιστα, ἢ ὡς τὸ ἔκπτωμα· ηὐξημένῳ δὲ τὰ ὀστέα μένει.
