  • Κύστισ δὲ καὶ τὸ χαλαρὸν ἀρχοῦ ἄλλοτε μὲν ἐσ ἔκκρισιν παρεῖται, καὶ ἔστι τῶν περιττῶν ἀεὶ ἔντερα πλήρεα, κύστισ δὲ καὶ ἐσ ὄγκον μέγιστον ἀείρεται, ἄλλοτε δὲ εἰσ κάθεξιν αὐτέων, διαρρέει γὰρ τὰ περιττὰ ὡσ δι’ ἀψύχων. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., ARETAIOU KAPPADOKOU OCEWN NOUSWN QERAPEUTIKON, 199)

(Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., ARETAIOU KAPPADOKOU OCEWN NOUSWN QERAPEUTIKON, 166)
