ἕλκεϊ νεοτρώτῳ παντὶ, πλὴν ἐν κοιλίῃ, ξυμφέρει ἐκ τοῦ τρώματος αἷμα Ρ῾υῆναι αὐτίκα πλέον ἢ ἔλασσον: φλεγμαίνει γὰρ ἧσσον αὐτὸ τὸ ἕλκος καὶ τὰ περιέχοντα.

καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πεπαλαιωμένων ἑλκέων ξυμφέρει αἷμα ποιέειν ἀποῤΡ῾έειν πυκνὰ, ὅκως ἂν δοκέῃ καιρὸς εἶναι, καὶ ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν τῶν ἑλκέων καὶ τῶν περιεχόντων τὸ ἕλκος, ἄλλως τε καὶ ἢν ἐν κνήμῃ ἔῃ τὸ ἕλκος ἢ ἐν δακτύλῳ ποδὸς ἢ χειρὸς, μᾶλλον ἤ κου ἄλλοθι τοῦ σώματος: γίνεται γὰρ, ἀποῤΡ῾έοντος τοῦ αἵματος, ξηρότερα καὶ μείονα ἰσχναινόμενα: κωλύει γὰρ μάλιστα μὲν τὰ τοιαῦτα ἕλκεα ὑγιαίνεσθαι, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ τἄλλα ξύμπαντα αἵματος σηπεδὼν, καὶ ὅ τι ἐξ αἵματος μεταστάσιος γεγένηται.

ξυμφέρει δὲ μετὰ τὴν τοῦ αἵματος ἀποῤΡ῾οὴν ἐπὶ τῶν τοιούτων ἑλκέων καὶ σπόγγον ἐπιδεῖν πυκνὸν καὶ μαλθακὸν, τετμημένον, ξηρότερον ἢ ὑγρότερον, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ σπόγγῳ ἄνωθεν φύλλα συχνὰ τίθεσθαι.

ἔλαιον δὲ καὶ ὅσα μαλθακώδεα ἢ ἐλαιώδεά ἐστι φάρμακα, οὐ ξυμφέρει τοῖσι τοιούτοισιν ἕλκεσιν, ἢν μὴ πάνυ ἤδη πρὸς ὑγιείην τείνῃ.

οὐδὲ τοῖσι νεοτρώτοισιν ἕλκεσι ξυμφέρει ἔλαιον, οὐδὲ μαλθακώδεα οὐδὲ στεατώδεα φάρμακα, ἄλλως τε καὶ ὅ τι ἂν δέηται ἕλκος πλείονος καθάρσιος: τὸ δὲ ξύμπαν εἰπεῖν, ἐλαίῳ τὴν χρῆσιν ποιέεσθαι καὶ ἐν θέρει καὶ ἐν χειμῶνι, πρὸς ἃ τῶν τοιούτων φαρμάκων δεόμεθα.
