(Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 21.11)
  • Καὶ ἢν, ἐξ ἀρχῆσ λαβὼν τὸ ἰήμα, αὐτίκα βούλῃ ἐκπρίσασ τὸ ὀστέον ἀφελεῖν ἀπὸ τῆσ μήνιγγοσ, ὡσαύτωσ χρὴ πυκινά τε σκοπεῖσθαι τῇ μήλῃ τὴν περίοδον τοῦ πρίονοσ, καὶ ἐσ τὸ παχύτατον ἀεὶ τοῦ ὀστέου τὸν πρίονα ἐνστηρίζειν, καὶ ἀνακινέων βούλεσθαι ἀφελέειν τὸ ὀστέον.
