  • ὅταν δ’ ἐγκυρήσῃ πλατεῖ τε καὶ ἀντικειμένῳ, καὶ πρὸσ αὐτὸ ἀντιπέσῃ, καὶ φύσει τοῦτο τύχῃ ἐὸν μήτε ἰσχυρόν, ὥστε δύνασθαι ἀνέχεσθαι τὴν βίην καὶ μηδὲν κακὸν παθεῖν, μήτε μαλθακόν τε καὶ ἀραιόν, ὥστ’ ἐκδέξασθαί τε καὶ ὑπεῖξαι, ἁπαλὸν δὲ καὶ τεθηλὸσ καὶ ἔναιμον καὶ πυκνόν, οἱο͂ν ἧπαρ, διὰ μὲν τὴν πυκνότητα καὶ πλατύτητα ἀνθέστηκέ τε καὶ οὐχ ὑπείκει, φῦσα δ’ ἐπισχομένη αὔξεταί τε καὶ ἰσχυροτέρη γίνεται καὶ ὁρμᾷ μάλιστα πρὸσ τὸ ἀντιπαῖον. (Hippocrates, Hippocrates Collected Works I, , xxii.20)
