Translation
"Because of the cold and the lack of cleansing-oil and the misery, the so-called scurvy and such ill-effects afflicted nearly all the horses, and [sc. acted] similarly on the men."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Λιμόψωρος· ὑπὸ δὲ τοῦ ψύχους καὶ τῆς ἀνηλειψίας καὶ τῆς ταλαιπωρίας ἐπεγεγόνει σχεδὸν ἅπασι τοῖς ἵπποις, ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ὁ λεγόμενος λιμόψωρος καὶ τοιαύτη καχεξία.
