42. Ἢν τριταῖος πυρετὸς ἔχῃ· ἢν μὲν οὖν μὴ παρεὶς τρεῖς λήψιας τῇ τετάρτῃ λάβῃ, φάρμακον πῖσαι κάτω· ἢν δέ σοι δοκέῃ φαρμάκου μὴ δεῖσθαι, τρίψας τοῦ πενταφύλλου τῶν ῥιζῶν ὅσον ὀξύβαφον ἐν ὕδατι, δοῦναι πιεῖν. Ἢν δὲ μηδὲ ἐν τούτῳ παύηται, λούσας αὐτὸν πολλῷ θερμῷ, πῖσαι τὸ τρίφυλλον καὶ ὀπὸν σιλφίου ἐν οἴνῳ ἰσοκρατεῖ, καὶ κατακλίνας ἐπιβαλέειν ἱμάτια πολλὰ ἕως ἱδρώσῃ· ἐπὴν δὲ ἐξιδρώσῃ, ἢν διψῇ, δοῦναι πιεῖν ἄλφιτον καὶ ὕδωρ· ἐς ἑσπέρην δὲ κέγχρον ἑψήσας λεπτὸν, ῥοφησάτω, καὶ οἶνον ἐπιπινέτω· ἕως δ’ ἂν διαλείπῃ, σιτίοισιν ὡς μαλθακωτάτοισι χρήσθω.
