Translation
A condition that afflicts sows. There are three conditions: sore throat, fever, diarrhea. So sore throat is [a condition] of one part of the body, while fever [is] a burning heat accompanied by headache. This is evidenced by drooping ears and downcast eyes. So diarrhea is untreatable, but herdsmen treat fever with infusions, while in the case of sore throat they cut off the little pieces of flesh that have putrefied.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Διάρροια· πάθος περὶ τὰς ὗς γινόμενον. τρία δέ εἰσι πάθη βράγχη, κραῦρα, διάρροια. ἡ μὲν οὖν βράγχη μέρους τινὸς τοῦ σώματος, ἡ δὲ κραῦρα πυρετὸς σὺν κεφαλῆς πόνῳ. σημειοῦται δὲ τοῦτο τῷ καταβεβλῆσθαι τὰ ὦτα καὶ κατηφὴς εἶναι τὸ ὄμμα. ἡ μὲν οὖν διάρροιά ἐστιν ἀθεράπευτος, τὴν δὲ κραῦραν οἱ νομεῖς ἐγχυματίζουσι, τῆς δὲ βράγχης περιτέμνουσι τὰ σεσηπότα τῶν σαρκιδίων.
