ἐν αὔξῃ δὲ τοῦ κακοῦ καὶ πελιδνότης τοῦ προσώπου προσγίγνεται, ἀγγείων τῶν ἐν τῷ αὐχένι διάτασις, ὡς ἐν πνιγὶ ἀφωνίη, ἀναισθησίη , καὶ εἰ μέγα ἐμβοῇς· μυγμὸς δὲ καὶ στεναγμὸς ἡ φωνὴ, καὶ ἡ ἀναπνοὴ πνὶξ, ὡς ἀπαγχομένῳ· The common reading before Ermerins was καὶ ἡ πνίξ. I have cheerfully adopted, also, his emendation of νυγμὸς into μυγμὸς, as suggested by Petit; and only wonder that neither of them refers to the Eumenides of aeschylus (l. 116) as an authority for this meaning of the term. σφυγμοὶ σφοδροὶ καὶ ταχέες, καὶ σμικροὶ ἐν τῇσι ἀρχῇσι· μεγάλοι δὲ καὶ βραδέες καὶ νωθροὶ ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει, ἄτακτοι δὲ ἐς τὸ ξύνολον· αἰδοίων ξύντασι ς. τάδε μὲν οὖν ἐς τέλος τῆς σημασίης πάσχουσι.
