we correctly estimate the sequence of the sentences as a whole. If we
are not greatly mistaken, it is as follows: First of all the question
is of a Eunuch who became dropsical; then in connection with this, the
_rest_ is added applying to _another Eunuch_. In the Book περὶ γονῆς
(Of the Seed), (Vol. I. p. 273. K.) we read: οἱ δὲ εὐνοῦχοι διὰ ταῦτα
οὐ λαγνεύουσιν, ὅτι σφέων ἡ δίοδος ἀμαλδύνεται τῆς γονῆς—αὕτη δὲ ἡ
δίοδος ὑπὸ τῆς τομῆς _οὐλῆς_ γενομένης στερεὴ γέγονεν. (Now Eunuchs
are not lascivious, because in them the passage of the seed is wasted
away, ... and this passage has become hardened by the wound where they
were cut getting _skinned over but festering within_). Now we might
well be tempted to read in the text: ὁ περὶ τὰ ἓξ ἔτεα ὑπὸ τῆς τομῆς
οὐλῆς καὶ βουβῶνα, that is to say, the man suffered for six years in
consequence of the skinning over of the cut from swelling in the groin,
etc. However this could hardly be justified, and we think it much
better to join ὑπὸ and οὐλῆς and either to read ὕπουλος, ὑπουλῶς or
ὑπουλὴν περὶ τὰ βουβῶνα, that is, he had had for six years festering
places in the inguinal region,—which idea possibly Calvus may have had
in his mind, or else ὑπουλήν τε καὶ βουβῶνας, he had had for six years
festering places (fistulas), inguinal swellings, etc., or finally,
what might seem the best of all, ὕπουλον βουβῶνα, a festering inguinal
region[407]. In the _De morbis mulierum_, (On the Diseases of Women),
bk. I., edit Kühn, Vol. II. 680. we read, ὀδύνη ἔχει καὶ τὰς ἰξύας
καὶ τοὺς κενεῶνας καὶ τοῦς βουβῶνας (pain holds both the loins and
belly and the inguinal regions),—so we might perhaps similarly read
here, ὕπουλον (ἔχει) καὶ βουβῶνα καὶ ἰξύα καὶ κενεῶνα καὶ κέδματα,
πορνείη ἄχρωμος, φθινήσας κ. τ. λ. (he has in a festering condition
both inguinal region and loin and belly and also varicosities, being
inordinate in fornication, in pain etc.), which would give κέδματα
the meaning of _Varices_ (varicosities), and the sense of the whole
passage would then be as follows: “A Eunuch in consequence of hunting
and running became dropsical; another at the fountain of Elealces, who
for six years had had festering (fistulous) ulcers in the inguinal
region, the loins and in the region of the _os sacrum_, as well as
varicosities, had grown pallid and suffered wasting through indulgence
in the vice of the pathic, died, after making involuntary evacuations,
to counteract which he had taken salt with honey, a usual remedy
against dysentery, on the seventh day.”
Be this as it may, at any rate it is shown very distinctly by the
passage that its author was but very slightly acquainted with the
consequences resulting from the vice of the Pathic, for he ascribes
to it nothing but the pallidness of complexion, whereas the whole
series of morbid symptoms might very well have been due to it (Comp. p.
180.). Certainly the Author is to be excused, for as a rule the bodily
consequences resulting from the vice of the Pathic were in Greece very
slight and of rare occurrence, neither did the vice in that country
reach anything like such a height. Again among the pastoral Scythians,
whose racial character in other respects was but little marked, the
local bodily consequences fell rather into the background, while the
assimilation of the whole person to the female type occurred the
more readily; but at the same time stood out all the more glaringly
conspicuous to the eyes of a foreign observer, as he had noted nothing
to correspond at home. Thus it was easy for him to be misled in
considering the marvellous phœnomenon into forgetting its real origin,
which no doubt was, in seeming, somewhat remote; and was apt to think
of any other cause rather than the vice of the pathic, the consequences
of which even distinguished Physicians of more modern times failed
adequately to appreciate. Is it for us to throw a stone on these
grounds at Hippocrates and his contemporaries?
In confirmation of our view as to the νοῦσος θήλεια (feminine disease)
we might further cite from more modern times the examples given by
_Reineggs_ and _J. von Potocki_ in the case of the Mongolian race of
the Nogay, and by the older Historians of America, particularly in
connection with Florida and Mexico. Notoriously down to the present day
Paederastia is in Asia one of the common vices, while as to America
some reporters when speaking of the Men-women and Hermaphrodites of
that Continent, expressly state that they indulged in the vice. But
as the original Authorities are not accessible to us, we can only
refer to _Heyne_, loco citato, p. 41. and _Stark_, loco citato, pp. 29
and 31., especially as without this the subject has already occupied
overmuch space. Still we trust the less blame may attach to us on this
account from the fact that so distinguished a scholar as _Stark_, whose
conclusions even professed Philologists have endorsed, may naturally
claim of a younger enquirer in the same field who challenges his views,
not mere general phrases, but the most complete and satisfactory
reasons possible. This much merit we trust he cannot deny us!

_Astruc_, II. p. 780., rightly censures the unsystematic arrangement
of the different Writings, the omission of Prefaces, Dedications and
indeed all matter except the actual texts. This edition received
subsequently a new Title-page, as is shown, according to _Astruc_, II.
p. 846., by the fact that not only does the number of pages, lines and
words closely agree with the above mentioned edition, but also at the
end of the First Part the name of the printer Ziletti occurs with the
date 1556. The new Title reads as follows:—

This third Supplement to Luisinus was never regularly published; the
separate Selections were issued as “Programs” in connection with
the Public Announcements of Doctorial Graduations in the Faculty of
Medicine at Jena. Selections I-VI. contain Investigations as to the

_Erasmus_, _Jac. von Bethencourt_, _Jo. Lud. Vives_, _Enric. Cordus_,
_Georg_, _Bersmannus_, _Engelbert_, _Werlichius_, and the Latin
translation of a Fragment from a Book written in the Coptic language
which the Society of Missions had sent to Cardinal Borgia; _Domeier_
communicated it to _Baldinger_ and the latter handed it on to _Gruner_
to make use of in his Collection.
In Selection XV. _Gruner_ makes some objections against the view
expressed by _Hensler_ in his “Program,” “De herpete seu formica
Veterum”. This Collection belongs in part to the Works mentioned in the
next section (“Historians”), but appears to be little known generally,
for it has escaped even _Choulant_ in his usually complete Survey of
the “Scripta Historica de Morbo Gallico”,—Historical Works on Syphilis,
in the Edition of the Poem of Fracastor, pp. 5-9. _Hacker_, p. 20.
mentions it indeed, but appears not even to have seen it, as he gives
nothing more precise as to its contents.
