83. Τὸ Φοίνικος, ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ τοῦ δεξιοῦ τοιοῦτόν τι ἦν· τὰ πολλὰ ὥσπερ ἀστραπὴν ἐδόκεεν ἐκλάμπειν· οὐ πολὺ δὲ ἐπισχόντι ὀδύνη ἐς τὸν κρόταφον τὸν δεξιὸν ἐνεστήκει δεινὴ, εἶτα ἐς ὅλην τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ ἐς τράχηλον, καθὸ δέδεται ἡ κεφαλὴ ὄπισθεν σπονδύλῳ· καὶ ξύντασις, καὶ σκληρότης ἀμφὶ τοὺς τένοντας· καὶ εἰ διοίγειν ἐπειρᾶτο, ξυντεινόμενος, Ἔμετοι ὁκότε γενοίατο, ἀπέτρεπον τὰς εἰρημένας ὀδύνας, καὶ ἠπιωτέρας ἐποίεον· ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ φλεβοτομίη ὠφέλεε, καὶ ἐλλεβοροποσίη ἀνῆγε παντοδαπὰ, οὐχ ἥκιστα δὲ πρασοειδέα.
