10. Ἀθήνῃσιν, ἄνδρα χολέρη ἔλαβεν, ἤμει τε καὶ κάτω διῄει, καὶ ὠδυνᾶτο, καὶ στῆναι οὐκ ἠδύνατο οὔτε ὁ ἔμετος, οὔτε ἡ ὑποχώρησις, καὶ ἥ τε φωνὴ ὑπολελοίπει, καὶ κινέεσθαι ἐκ τῆς κλίνης οὐκ ἠδύνατο, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἀχλυώδεες καὶ ἔγκοιλοι ἦσαν, καὶ σπασμοὶ εἶχον ἐκ τῆς κοιλίης· ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐντέρου ὁμοίως, λύγξ· ἡ δ᾿ ὑποχώρησις πολλῷ πλείων ἦν τοῦ ἐμέτου. Οὗτος ἔπιεν Ἐλλέβορον ἐπὶ φακῶν χυλῷ, καὶ ἐπέπιε φακῶν χυλὸν ἕτερον ὅσον ἠδύνατο, καὶ ἔπειτα ἐπήμεσε, καὶ προσηναγκάσθη, καὶ ἔστη αὐτῷ ἄμφω· ψυχρὸς δὲ ἐγένετο· ἐλούετο δὲ μέχρι τῶν αἰδοίων κάτω πάνυ πολλῷ, ἕως καὶ τὰ ἄνω διεθερμάνθη, καὶ ἐβίω· τῇ δ᾿ ὑστεραίῃ ἄλφιτα ἔπιε λεπτὰ ἐφ᾿ ὕδατι.
