The genuine works of Hippocrates, Vol. 1 (of 2)

Note 423 — ON AIRS, WATERS, AND PLACES.

Francis Adams translation

The term here used meant particularly the fructus horæi, or summer fruits; namely, cucumbers, gourds, and the like. (See Paulus Ægineta, B. I., § 80.) Surely Coray forgot himself, when he wrote thus regarding the distinction between the summer and autumnal fruits of his country: “les Grecs entendoient particulièrement par ὡρᾱια les fruits de la fin de l’été, c’est-à-dire, de cette partie de l’année qu’ils appelloient ὀπώραν, etc.”
