Greek original · Adler’s text

Μαλιασμός· νόσος περὶ τοὺς ὄνους γινομένη, ὅς ἐστι κατάρρους διὰ μυκτήρων καὶ στρόφος περὶ τοὺς αὐτούς. οὐκ ἐκφεύγει δὲ οὐδέτερον τῶν νοσημάτων ὁ ὄνος.

Notes

  1. Here maliasmo/s; a.k.a. mali/asis and malih/; Latin malleus. This material has been attributed to Aristophanes of Byzantium's epitome of Aristotle's History of Animals.
    The incidental distinction made in the definition is between an overarching no/sos and its constituent nosh/mata.
