Examples

  • Ἕτοιμον γὰρ ταύτῃ Ῥήγνυσθαι τὸ ὀστέον καὶ διαχαλᾷν, διὰ τὴν ἀσθένείην τῆσ φύσιοσ τοῦ ὀστέου ταύτῃ καὶ διὰ τὴν ἀραιότητα, καὶ δὴ ἅτε τῆσ Ῥαφῆσ ἑτοίμησ ἐούσησ Ῥήγνυσθαι καὶ διαχαλᾷν‧ τὰ δ’ ἄλλα ὀστέα, τὰ περιέχοντα τὴν Ῥαφὴν, μένει ἀῤῬαγέα, ὅτι ἰσχυρότερά ἐστι τῆσ Ῥαφῆσ. (Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 12.4)
  • Ἡ δὲ Ῥῆξισ ἡ κατὰ τὴν Ῥαφὴν γινομένη καὶ διαχάλασίσ ἐστι τῆσ Ῥαφῆσ, καὶ φράσασθαι οὐκ εὐμαρὴσ, οὔτε ἢν ὑπὸ ἕδρησ τοῦ βέλεοσ γενομένησ ἐν τῇ Ῥαφῇ Ῥαγῇ καὶ διαχαλάσῃ, οὔτε ἢν, φλασθέντοσ τοῦ ὀστέου κατὰ τὰσ Ῥαφὰσ, Ῥαγῇ καὶ διαχαλάσῃ‧ ἀλλ’ ἔτι χαλεπώτερον φράσασθαι τὴν ἀπὸ τῆσ φλάσιοσ Ῥωγμήν. (Hippocrates, Oeuvres Completes D'Hippocrate., , 12.5)
