they were generally saved by it, and I do not know a single person who

had a proper hemorrhage who died in this constitution. Philiscus,

Epaminon, and Silenus, indeed, who had a trifling epistaxis on the

fourth and fifth day, died. Most of those taken with had a rigor about

the time of the crisis, and notably those who had no hemorrhage; these

had also rigor associated.

9. Some were attacked with jaundice on the sixth day, but these were

benefited either by an urinary purgation, or a disorder of the bowels,

or a copious hemorrhage, as in the case of Heraclides, who was

lodged with Aristocydes: this person, though he had the hemorrhage

from the nose, the purgation by the bladder, and disorder of the

bowels, experienced a favorable crisis on the twentieth day, not

like the servant of Phanagoras, who had none of these symptoms, and

died. The hemorrhages attacked most persons, but especially young

persons and those in the prime of life, and the greater part of

those who had not the hemorrhage died: elderly persons had jaundice or

disorder of the bowels, such as Bion, who was lodged with Silenus.

Dysenteries were epidemical during the summer, and some of those cases

in which the hemorrhage occurred, terminated in dysentery, as happened

to the slave of Eraton, and to Mullus, who had a copious hemorrhage,

which settled down into dysentery, and they recovered. This humor

was redundant in many cases, since in those who had not the hemorrhage

about the crisis, but the risings about the ears disappeared, after

their disappearance there was a sense of weight in the left flank

extending to the extremity of the hip, and pain setting in after the

crisis, with a discharge of thin urine; they began to have small

hemorrhages about the twenty-fourth day, and the swelling was

converted into the hemorrhage. In the case of Antiphon, the son of

Critobulus' son, the fever ceased and came to a crisis about the

fortieth day.

10. Many women were seized, but fewer than of the men, and there

were fewer deaths among them. But most of them had difficult
