Note 526 — ON THE PROGNOSTICS.

Foës inclines to think that the proper reading in this place is νοὔσος φοινικίη, and not φθινικὴ, and that Galen alludes to this passage in his Exegesis under the former of these terms, where he says that by φοινικίη νοῡσος was probably meant elephantiasis. The other reading, however, would seem quite applicable, for I have known phthisis and leprosy combined in the same case.
