ἀτὰρ καὶ αἵδε δῆλαι διασφύξεσι. τάμνειν δὲ πρὸς τοῖς ὀστέοις τὰς μέζονας · αἵδε γὰρ ὀνηϊσταί. ἐπικέαται καὶ ἕτεραι ἑκάστῃσι, κάρτα λεπταὶ, ἃς οὐδʼ ὄφελος ἐκτάμνειν. ὁ δὲ τρόπος ἐν τῇσι χειρουργίῃσι λέλεκται. μέγα δὲ τὸ ἄκος κεφαλαίῃσι καὶ ἐπιληψίῃ, καὶ σκοτώμασι, καὶ ξυμβλήδην ἁπάσῃσι τῇσι τῆς κεφαλῆς νούσοισι.The common reading, instead of μέγα, is μετά; in Kühn's edition, κατά. The reading I have introduced seems to me self-evident.
