Note 466 — ON THE PROGNOSTICS.

It will be remarked that our author modifies his judgment on the result of the ensemble of dangerous symptoms which he has just described, provided they be connected with want of food and of rest, or with looseness of the bowels. See Galen’s Commentary on this passage. Celsus renders this clause of the sentence as follows: “Si ita hæc sunt, ut neque vigilia præcesserit, neque ventris resolutio, neque inedia.”—ii., 6. I may briefly mention that both Galen and Stephanus seem to have understood this passage as I have translated it. Littré it will be seen has rendered it somewhat differently.
