  • ἀνάγκη δὲ ὧδε ἔχειν, ὁκόταν αἱ κοιλίαι σκληραὶ ἐώσιν‧ ἔμπυοί τε πολλοὶ γίνονται ἀπὸ πάσησ προφάσιοσ. (Hippocrates, Hippocrates Collected Works I, , iv.5)
  • Οἷσι ἐν τῇσι κοιλίῃσι τὰ ἄνω κατ’ ἴξιν τοῦ θώρηκοσ ἢ τὰ κάτω ὑπὸ τὸ διάφραγμα πύου ἀποστάσιεσ γίγνονται, ἢν μὲν ἀνάγωσι, ἔμπυοι οἵδε καλέονται· ἢν δὲ τὸ πῦον διεξίῃ κάτω, ἀποστηματίαι κικλήσκονται· καὶ ἐν μὲν θώρηκι ἐν τοῖσι ἕλκεσι, ἤτοι ἐν πλεύμονι, ἣν ἐκδέχεται φθόη, ἢ ὑπεζωκότι ἐν πλευρῷ, ἢ στέρνῳ, ἢ κάτωπη πρὸσ τῇ ξυμφύσι τοῦ πνεύμονοσ κατὰ Ῥάχιν, ἤ πη τοῦ θώρηκοσ ἄλλῃ,‐‐ ξυμπάντων δὲ ἐσ ἀναγωγὴν ὁδὸσ τῷ πύῳ πνεύμων. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 160)
  • Εὖτε ὁκόσοισι περιπνευμον ικοῖσι ἂν φλέγμα ἐῄ, καὶ μὴ διαχέηται, περιγίγνονται· οἱ δὲ διαδιδρήσκοντεσ τὸ κάτοξυ τοῦ πάθεοσ ἔμπυοι γίγνονται. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 193)
  • ἢν δὲ ἕλκοσ ἐγγένηται, ἐπὶ μὲν τοῖσι ἄνω στρόφοσ δακνώδησ, δριμὺσ, ὡσ ἀπὸ χολῆσ θερμῆσ σμικρῆσ, ἔμπυοι ἄλλοτε καὶ ἄλλοτε· τὸ δὲ πλέον, ἔμπυοι. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 227)
