Ὅσα δὲ καὶ περὶ τῆς τοῦ ἡγεμονικοῦ χώρας διηνέχθησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, ῥᾴδιον διαγνῶναι. Ἱπποκράτης μὲν γὰρ καὶ Δημόκριτος καὶ Πλάτων ἐν ἐγκεφάλῳ τοῦτο ἱδρῦσθαι εἰρήκασιν· ὁ δὲ Στράτων ἐν μεσοφρύῳ· Ἐρασίστρατος δὲ ὁ ἰατρὸς περὶ τὴν τοῦ ἐγκεφάλου μήνιγγα, ἣν ἐπικρανίδα λέγει· Ἡρόφιλος δὲ ἐν τῇ τοῦ ἐγκεφάλου κοιλίᾳ· Παρμενίδης δὲ καὶ Ἐπίκουρος ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ θώρακι· Ἐμπεδοκλῆς δὲ καὶ Ἀριστοτέλης καὶ τῶν Στωϊκῶν ἡ ξυμμορία τὴν καρδίαν ἀπεκλήρωσαν τούτῳ. Καὶ τούτων δ' αὖ πάλιν οἱ μὲν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τῆς καρδίας, οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ αἵματι· καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐν τῷ περικαρδίῳ ὑμένι, οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ διαφράγματι.
