6. Τὰ πνεύματα ἐν ὑποχονδρίοισιν ἔπαρσις μαλθακὴ, καὶ ἔντασις οὐδετέρη. Ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἄνω στρογγύλον ἐν τοῖσι δεξιοῖσιν οἷον περιφέρεια ἀποπυητική· ἄλλο πρόμακρον ἐπὶ πλέον· ἄλλο κεχυμένον· ἄλλο κάτω ῥέπον, καὶ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ξύντασις μέχρι τοῦ ὀμφαλοῦ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἄνω ἴξει, καὶ ἐπανειλεῖται, καὶ ἐπείληπται ἐς τὸ περιφερές. Ἢν μὲν πνεῦμα ᾖ, ἀκρίτως λεπτύνεται θέρμῃ· ἢν δὲ τοῦτο διαφύγῃ, ἐς ἐμπύησιν ὁρμᾷ.
