  • τέκτονοσ ἄρμενα ταῦτα Λεοντίχου, αἵ τε χαρακταὶ ῥῖναι, καὶ κάλων οἱ ταχινοὶ βορέεσ, στάθμαι καὶ μιλτεῖα, καὶ αἱ σχεδὸν ἀμφιπλῆγεσ σφῦραι, καὶ μίλτῳ φυρόμενοι κανόνεσ, αἳ τ’ ἀρίδεσ, ξυστήρ τε, καὶ ἐστελεωμένοσ οὗτοσ ἐμβριθήσ, τέχνασ ὁ πρύτανισ, πέλεκυσ, τρύπανά τ’ εὐδίνητα, καὶ ὠκήεντα τέρετρα, καὶ γόμφων οὗτοι τοὶ πίσυρεσ τορέεσ, ἀμφίξουν τε σκέπαρνον· (Unknown, Greek Anthology, book 6, chapter 2051)
  • Τῇ δ’ ὑστεραίῃ ἡμέρῃ, ἐπειδὰν ἐξέλῃσ τὸν μοτὸν, κατιδὼν τὸ ὀστέον ὅ τι πέπονθεν, ἐὰν μή σοι καταφανὴσ ᾖ ἡ τρῶσισ, ὁκοίη τίσ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ὀστέῳ, μηδὲ διαγινώσκῃσ εἴ τέ τι ἔχει τὸ ὀστέον κακὸν ἐν ἑωυτέῳ, ἢ καὶ οὐκ ἔχει, τὸ δὲ βέλοσ δοκέῃ ἀφικέσθαι ἐσ τὸ ὀστέον καὶ σίνασθαι, ἐπιξύειν χρὴ τῷ ξυστῆρι κατὰ βάθοσ καὶ κατὰ μῆκοσ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὡσ πέφυκε, καὶ αὖθισ ἐπικάρσιον τὸ ὀστέον, τῶν Ῥηξίων εἵνεκα τῶν ἀφανέων ἰδεῖν, καὶ τῆσ φλάσιοσ εἵνεκα τῆσ ἀφανέοσ, τῆσ οὐκ ἐσφλωμένησ ἔσω ἐκ τῆσ φύσιοσ τῆσ κεφαλῆσ τοῦ ἄλλου ὀστέου. (Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 14.3)
  • Ἐπειδὰν δὲ ξύσῃσ τὸ ὀστέον τῷ ξυστῆρι, ἢν μὲν δοκέῃ ἐσ πρίσιν ἀφίκειν ἡ τρῶσισ τοῦ ὀστέου, πρίειν χρὴ, καὶ οὐ δεῖ τὰσ τρεῖσ ἡμέρασ μὴ ὑπερβάλλειν ἀπρίωτον, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταύτῃσι πρίειν, ἄλλωσ τε καὶ τῆσ θερμῆσ ὡρ́ησ, ἢν ἐξ ἀρχῆσ λαμβάνῃσ τὸ ἰήμα. (Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 14.6)
  • Ἀλλὰ χρὴ, εἰ ἐννοοίησ τὸν πυρετὸν ἐπιλαμβάνοντα, καὶ τῶν ἄλλων τι σημεῖον τούτῳ προσγενόμενον, μὴ διατρίβειν, ἀλλὰ πρίσαντα τὸ ὀστέον πρὸσ τὴν μήνιγγα, ἢ καταξύσαντα τῷ ξυστῆρι εὑ̓́πριστον δὲ γίνεται καὶ εὔξυστον̓, ἔπειτα τὰ λοιπὰ οὕτωσ ἰητρεύειν, ὅκωσ ἂν δοκέῃ ξυμφέρειν, πρὸσ τὸ γινόμενον ὁρῶν. (Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 19.9)
