Note 782 — ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD.
Francis Adams translation
It is difficult to say what can be meant by caruncles in this place, but still I agree with M. Littré that Scaliger was not warranted in proposing to eject the passage from the text as an interpolation. Unless the glandulæ Pacchioni are meant (and the description must be admitted not to be quite applicable to them), I cannot pretend to explain or account for the description.
