17. Ἑτέρη νοῦσος· ἢν ὑπερεμήσαντα τὰ φλέβια τὰ ἔναιμα τὰ περὶ τὸν ἐγκέφαλον θερμήνῃ τὸν ἐγκέφαλον, πυρετὸς ἴσχει ἰσχυρὸς, καὶ ὀδύνη ἐς τοὺς κροτάφους καὶ τὸ βρέγμα καὶ ἐς τοὔπισθεν τῆς κεφαλῆς, καὶ τὰ ὦτα ἠχέει, καὶ πνεύματος ἐμπίπλαται, καὶ ἀκούει οὐδὲν, καὶ ἀλύει, καὶ ῥιπτάζει αὐτὸς ἑωυτὸν ὑπὸ τῆς ὀδύνης· οὗτος ἀποθνήσκει πεμπταῖος ἢ ἑκταῖος. Ὅταν οὕτως ἔχῃ, θερμαίνειν αὐτοῦ τὴν κεφαλήν· ἢν γὰρ ῥαγῇ διὰ τῶν ὤτων ἢ τῶν ῥινῶν ὕδωρ, οὕτως ἐκφυγγάνει τὸν ὄλεθρον· ἢν δ’ ἐκφύγῃ τὰς ἡμέρας τὰς ἓξ, διαιτᾷν ὥσπερ τὴν προτέρην.
