13. Τὸ μὲν οὖν αἴτιον τοῦ ὕδρωπος ἤδη εἴρηται· αἱ δὲ ἀποπληξίαι γίνονται καὶ αὐταὶ διὰ τὰς φύσας· ὅταν γὰρ αἱ φῦσαι ψυχραὶ οὖσαι καὶ πολλαὶ διαδύνωσι καὶ ἐμφυσήσωσι τὰς σάρκας, ἀναίσθητα ταῦτα γίνεται τοῦ σώματος· ἢν μὲν οὖν πολλαὶ φῦσαι ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ σώματι διατρέχωσιν, ὅλος ὥνθρωπος ἀπόπληκτος γίνεται· ἢν δὲ ἐν μέρει τινὶ, τοῦτο τὸ μέρος· καὶ ἢν μὲν ἀπέλθωσιν αὗται, παύεται ἡ νοῦσος· ἢν δὲ παραμείνωσι, παραμένει· ὅτι δὲ ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχει, χασμῶνται συνεχῶς.
