3. Οὖρον δὲ ἄριστόν ἐστιν, ὃ ἂν ἔχῃ λευκότατον ὑπόστημα καὶ λεῖον καὶ ὁμαλὸν παρὰ πάντα τὸν χρόνον ἕως ἂν κριθῇ τὸ νόσημα· σημαίνει γὰρ ἀσφαλέα καὶ ὀλιγοχρονίην τὴν νοῦσον ἔσεσθαι. Ἢν ἱδρῶτος ἐγγενομένου ἡ νούσος ἐκλίπῃ, καὶ τὸ οὖρον πυῤῥὸν θεωρηθῇ λευκὴν ὑπόστασιν ἔχον, τουτέοισιν αὐθημερὸν ὑποστροφὴ τοῦ πυρετοῦ γίνεται, οὗτος καὶ ἐν πέντε ἀκινδύνως κρίνεται.
