Examples

  • καὶ τοῦτο τὸ πάθοσ ὥσ μοι δοκεῖ γίνεσθαι φράσω‧ ὑπὸ τῆσ ἱππασίησ αὐτοὺσ κέδματα λαμβάνει, ἅτε αἰεὶ κρεμαμένων ἀπὸ τῶν ἵππων τοῖσ ποσίν‧ ἔπειτα ἀποχωλοῦνται καὶ ἑλκοῦνται τὰ ἰσχία, οἳ ἂν σφόδρα νοσήσωσιν. (Hippocrates, Hippocrates Collected Works I, , xxii.5)
  • Γίγνεται δ’ οὖν ἀμφὶ τήνδε τὴν φλέβα καὶ κέδματα · εὖτε Ῥηγνυμένη αἱμορραγίῃ ὤκιστα κτείνει · ὕπερθεν μὲν διὰ πλεύμονοσ καὶ ἀρτηρίησ ἐκχεομένου , ἢν ἐν τῷ θώρηκι Ῥαγῇ· ἢν δὲ παρὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν, ἐσ τὴν κάτω κοιλίην τοῖσι ἐντέροισι περιχέεται, ὡσ ἐμπλείειν τὰ ἔντερα, εὖτε πρὶν ἢ καθὲν ἐκφανῆναι τὸ αἷμα, θνήσκουσι οἵδε· ἦν δὲ ἡ κοιλίη πληρευμένη αἵματοσ. (Aretaeus, The Extant Works of Aretaeus, The Cappadocian., , 176)
