Translation
[Meaning that] which comes into being and ceases from being, without the destruction of the subject. How does the hectic fever destroy the body if it is unambiguously accidental? They say that [this problem] is solved from what has just been said. For it is possible to say that the fever is not accidental, and not an alteration of the subject either, but a heat contrary to nature that dissolves the harmony of the living being.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Συμβεβηκός· ὃ γίνεται καὶ ἀπογίνεται χωρὶς τῆς τοῦ ὑποκειμένου φθορᾶς. πῶς ὁ ἑκτικὸς πυρετὸς κατὰ συμβεβηκὸς ἀναμφιβόλως ὢν φθείρει τὸ σῶμα; ἐκ τῶν προσεχῶς εἰρημένων λύεσθαί φασιν. ἔστι γὰρ εἰπεῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι συμβεβηκὸς ὁ πυρετός, ἀλλ' οὐδὲ ἀλλοίωσις τοῦ ὑποκειμένου, ἀλλὰ παρὰ φύσιν θερμότης διαλυτικὴ τῆς ἁρμονίας τοῦ ζῴου.
