  • ὅθεν καὶ τὴν νόσον ἀπ’ αἰτίασ ἐλαφρᾶσ ἀρξαμένην ἐξέθρεψε, καὶ πολὺν χρόνον ἠγνόει περὶ τὰ σπλάγχνα γεγονὼσ ἔμπυοσ, ὑφ’ ἧσ καὶ τὴν σάρκα διαφθαρεῖσαν εἰσ φθεῖρασ μετέβαλε πᾶσαν, ὥστε πολλῶν δι’ ἡμέρασ ἅμα καὶ νυκτὸσ ἀφαιρούντων μηδὲν εἶναι μέροσ τοῦ ἐπιγινομένου τὸ ἀποκρινόμενον, ἀλλὰ πᾶσαν ἐσθῆτα καὶ λουτρὸν καὶ ἀπόνιμμα καὶ σιτίον ἀναπίμπλασθαι τοῦ ῥεύματοσ ἐκείνου καὶ τῆσ φθορᾶσ· (Plutarch, Sulla, chapter 36 2:1)
  • καὶ ὡσ μὲν ὁ ἰατρὸσ ἔφη, εἰ μὴ κάθαρσισ αἵματοσ αὐτομάτη μοι πάνυ πολλὴ συνέβη περιωδύνῳ ὄντι καὶ ἀπορουμένῳ ἤδη, κἂν ἔμπυοσ γενόμενοσ διεφθάρην· (Demosthenes, Speeches 51-61, 20:1)
  • ἢν δὲ ταύτην ὑπερέλθῃ ὁ νοσέων, καὶ ἐντὸσ εἰκοστῆσ μὴ ἀποθνήσκῃ, ἔμπυοσ γίγνεται. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 131)

  • Καὶ ἔμπυοσ δὲ ἐξ ἀποστάσιοσ γίγνεται· κύστιοσ σημήϊα, τάπερ ἐπ’ ἄλλοισι · ἐπὶ φλεγμασίῃ γὰρ , καὶ ἐπὶ πυρετοῖσι, καὶ Ῥίγεσι, ἡ ἀπόστασισ· κίνδυνοι οἱ ὠυτοί· πῦον δὲ ἀλλ’ εἰ παχὺ, λευκὸν, οὐ κάκοδμον ἐκδιδοῖ, εὐηθέα τὰ ἀπὸ τῶνδε ἕλκεα· ἢν δὲ ἐπινέμηται, τρυγώδεα, μυξοποιὰ, κάκοδμα οὐρέουσι· τῶν τοιῶνδε οὐ βραδύνει θάνατοσ · δακνώδε α μὲν τὰ οὖρα· ὀδυνηρὰ δὲ ἡ πρόεσισ αὐτῶν, διαί̈σσει δὲ ἡ ὀδύνη μέσφι ἄκρων τοῦ καυλοῦ· βλάπτει δὲ αὐτέουσ πάντα καὶ τἀναντία· καὶ πλησμονὴ καὶ κένωσισ, καὶ ἀργίη καὶ κίνησισ, καὶ λουτρὰ καὶ ἀλουσίη, καὶ τροφὴ καὶ ἀτροφίη, καὶ γλυκέα καὶ ὀξέα, ἄλλων ἄλλα μὲν ὠφελεύντων , ἄλλα δὲ βλαπτόντων, εἰσ ἓν ξυμβῆναι μὴ δυναμένων. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 125)
