12. Νηπίοισι βηχίον ξὺν γαστρὸς ταραχῇ καὶ πυρετῷ ξυνεχεῖ σημαίνει μετὰ κρίσιν, διμηνιαίῳ τὸ ξύμπαν, εἰκοσταίῳ, καὶ οἰδήματα ἐς ἄρθρα· καὶ ἢν μὲν κάτω τοῦ ὀμφαλοῦ καταστῇ, τὰ ἄνω ἐν τοῖσι κάτω ἄρθροισιν, ἀγαθόν· ἢν δὲ ἄνω, οὐχ ὁμοίως λύει τὴν νοῦσον, ἢν μὴ ἐκπυήσῃ· τὰ δὲ ἐν ὤμοισιν ἐκπυεῦντα τοῖσι τηλικούτοισι γαλιάγκωνας ποιέει· λύσειε δ᾿ ἂν καὶ ἑλκυδρίων κάτω ἔκθυσις, ἢν μὴ στρογγύλακαὶ βαθέα ᾖ, τὰ δὲ τοιαῦτα ὀλέθρια καὶ ἄλλως παιδίοισιν· καὶ αἷμα λύσειεν ἂν ῥαγὲν, μᾶλλον δὲ τοῖσι τελειοτέροισιν ἐπιφαίνεται.
