12. Γυνὴ ἐν Φερῇσι περιωδύνεε κεφαλὴν πουλὺν χρόνον, καὶ οὐδεὶς οὐδὲν ἠδύνατο ὠφελῆσαι, οὔτε καθαιρομένη τὴν κεφαλήν· ῥηΐστη δὲ ἐγένετο, ὁκότε τὰ ἐπιμήνια εὐχερῶς οἱ ἴοι. Αὕτη ὁκότε περιωδυνοῖ τὴν κεφαλὴν, προστιθέμενα προσθετὰ εὐώδεα πρὸς τὴν μήτρην ὠφέλει, καὶ ἀπεκαθάρθη ὀλίγον τι. Καὶ ὁκότε ἐκύησεν, ἐξέλιπον αἱ ὀδύναι τὴν κεφαλήν.
