16. Ἱπποκόμος Παλαμήδεος, ἐν Λαρίσσῃ, ἑνδεκαετὴς, ἐπλήγη κατὰ τοῦ μετώπου ὑπὲρ τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν τὸν δεξιὸν ὑφ᾿ ἵππου, καὶ ἐδόκεε τὸ ὀστέον οὐχ ὑγιὲς εἶναι, καὶ ἐπίδυεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ὀλίγον αἷμα. Οὗτος ἐπρίσθη μέγα μέχρι τῆς διπλόης· καὶ ἰητρεύετο, οὕτως ἔχων τὸ ὀστέον, δ καὶ πρισθὲν αὐτίκα, τὸ δστέον ἔκηεν. Ἐπὶ εἴκοσιν, οἴδημα παρὰ τὸ οὖς ἤρξατο, καὶ πυρετὸς, καὶ ῥῖγος· καὶ ἡμέρῃ μᾶλλον ᾠδίσκετο καὶ ὠδυνᾶτο τὸ οἴδημα· καὶ ἐπύρεσσεν ἀρχόμενος ἐκ ῥίγεος· καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ᾤδησαν, καὶ τὸ μέτωπον, καὶ ἅπαν τὸ πρόσωπον· ἔπασχε δὲ ταῦτα ἐπὶ δεξιὰ μᾶλλον τῆς κεφαλῆς, παρῆλθε δὲ καὶ ἐς τὰ ἀριστερὰ τὸ οἴδημα· οὐδὲν οὖν τοῦτο ἔβλαπτεν· τελευτῶν δὲ πυρετὸς ξυνεχὴς ἔσχεν ἧσσον· ταῦτα ἦν μέχρις ἡμερέων ὀκτώ. ἐβίω δὲ καυθεὶς, καὶ καθηράμενος διὰ καταπότου, καὶ περιπλασσόμενος τὸ οἴδημα· τὸ δὲ ἕλκος τῶν κακῶν οὐδὲν αἴτιον ἦν.
