56. Οἷσι κεφαλῆς ὀδύνη δεινὴ ξὺν θέρμῃ, οἷσι μὲν ἐς τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς κεφαλῆς, καὶ κατὰ ῥῖνάς τι ὑγρὸν ἀποχωρέει λεπτὸν ἢ πέπον, ἢ ἐς ὦτα, ἢ ἐς φάρυγγα ἐκ κεφαλῆς, ἀσφαλέστερον· οἷσι δὲ ξηρὰ ταῦτα, ὁ δὲ σφάκελος δεινὸς, ἐπικίνδυνα· ἢν δὲ προσῇ ἀσώδης, ἢ χολώδης ἔμετος, ἢ κατάπληξις ὀμμάτων, ἢ ἀφωνίη, καὶ σπάνιόν τι φθέγγηται, ἢ λῆρός τις, θανάσιμα. καὶ σπασμώδεα. Ὁπόσοι δ᾿ ἂν ἐκ κατάῤῥου τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς κεφαλῆς πονέοντες, καὶ κατὰ ῥῖνας ὑγροῦ ὑποχωρέοντος, ἐπιπυρετήνωσιν, ἐπιεικῶς ἐν τῇ πέμπτῃ ἢ ἕκτῃ περιψύχονται.
