Note 407 — FIRST SECTION. (continued 3)

Suidas writes: ὕπουλος—ὡς ἐπὶ τῶν ἑλκῶν, τῶν ἐχόντων οὐλὰς ὑγιεῖς ἐπιπολαίως, ἔνδοθεν δὲ σηπεδόνας πυώδεις.—ὕπουλα γόνατα καὶ ὕπουλον πόδα καὶ ὕπουλον χεῖρα καὶ σῶμα· τὸ φλεγμαῖνον διά τινας πληγὰς καὶ ἑγγὺς τοῦ ἀφίστασθαι ὄν· Κρατῖνος· ὕπουλα ἕλκη· τὰ κρυπτά.—Hesychius: ὕπουλα δὲ λέγεται τὰ μὴ φανερὰ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ἕλκη. ὕπουλος—applied to wounds, those that have healthy scars on the surface, but underneath offensive putrefactions,—said of the knees, or foot, or hand, or body; the part that is highly inflamed in consequence of blows and is near breaking. Cratinus gives: ὕπουλα wounds, i.e. hidden ones.—Hesychius: ὕπουλα is said of wounds that are not manifest to the eye.—The word ὕπαφρον (frothy beneath), which is found in Hippocrates, De Arte, Vol. I. p. 17. K., instead of which the MSS. also have ὑπόῤῥοον (liquid underneath), and Schneider in his Lexicon wished to read ὑπόφερον (bearing underneath), Hesychius explains as τὸ μὴ φανερὸν κρύφιον καὶ ὕπουλον (that which is not visible, concealed and festering underneath).—Ought we to read for καὶ ἴξιν perhaps κατ’ ἴξιν?
