42. Ὁ ἐν τοῖσι λιθίνοισι προπύλοισι πρέσβυς ὀσφὺν ἤλγησε καὶ σκέλεα ἄμφω· καὶ θάτερον κατέβαινεν ἐπὶ μηροὺς, καί ποτε κνήμας, καί ποτε γούνατα. Ἐγχρονιζούσης μάλιστα, πολλαὶ παλινδρομίαι ἐγεγένηντο· οἴδημα ἐν ποσὶν, ὀσφύϊ, κνήμῃ· βραχὺ βουβῶνες, γαστὴρ σκληρὴ, καὶ ἔντασις ἤτρου ἡ πᾶσα, καὶ ὀδυνώδης τὰ πλεῖστα· εὑρέθη ἔχων καὶ κύστιν σκληρὴν καὶ ὀδυνώδεα· καὶ βλαστήματα, καὶ θέρμαι. Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἠλγήκει παρ᾿ οὖς· ταὐτὸν σύστρεμμα, ἀδένος οὐκ ἐπιψαύοντος, ὀστέον οὐκ ἀποπυοῦν, καὶ τοῦτο ἐμωλύνθη, καὶ τότε εὐθὺς ἐπυρέτηνεν.
