4 Τὸ δὲ ἄφωνον τινὰ ἐξαίφνης γενέσθαι, φλεβῶν ἀπολήψιες λυπέουσιν, ἢν ὑγιαίνοντι τόδε ξυμβῇ ἄνευ προφάσιος ἢ ἄλλης αἰτίης ἰσχυρῆς· φλεβοτομέειν οὖν χρὴ τὸν βραχίονα τὸν δεξιὸν τὴν ἔσω φλέβα, καὶ ἀφαιρέειν τοῦ αἵματος, κατὰ τὴν ἕξιν καὶ τὴν ἡλικίην διαλογιζόμενον τὸ πλεῖον καὶ τὸ ἔλασσον. Ξυμπίπτει δὲ τοῖσι πλείστοισιν αὐτέων τοιάδε· ἐρυθήματα προσώπου, ὀμμάτων στάσιες, χειρῶν διαστάσιες, ὀδόντων τρισμοὶ, σφυγμοὶ, σιηγόνων ξυναγωγὴ, καὶ κατάψυξις ἀκρωτηρίων, πνευμάτων ἀπολήψιες ἀνὰ τὰς φλέβας.
