1 10| 10. And respecting the seasons, 2 11| 11. Whoever studies and observes 3 12| 12. I wish to show, respecting 4 13| 13. But concerning those on 5 14| 14. I will pass over the smaller 6 15| 15. As to the inhabitants of 7 16| 16. And with regard to the 8 17| 17. In Europe there is a Scythian 9 18| 18. As the other Scythians 10 19| 19. In respect of the seasons 11 2 | 2. From these things he must 12 20| 20. I Will give you a strong 13 21| 21. It is impossible that persons 14 22| 22. And, in addition to these, 15 23| 23. The other races in Europe 16 24| 24. And there are in Europe 17 3 | 3. But how of the aforementioned 18 4 | 4. But the following is the 19 5 | 5. Cities that are exposed 20 6 | 6. But such cities as lie 21 7 | 7. And I wish to give an account 22 8 | 8. I will now tell how it 23 9 | 9. Men become affected with 24 4 | are not very subject to abortions. And when they do bring 25 24| places which are low-lying, abounding in meadows and ill ventilated, 26 19| owing to their fat, and the absence of hairs from their bodies, 27 8 | to its lightness, and he abstracts this not only from the lakes, 28 12| might be supposed, grow in abundance, both such as are raised 29 12| they are well watered from abundant showers and snow, and the 30 7 | suitable for any disease, may accomplish his purpose by attending 31 12| earth produces of its own accord, the fruits of which the 32 10| be with child, and whose accouchement should take place in spring, 33 2 | seasons, such a one must be acquainted with each particular, and 34 16| consideration with them how they may acquire military discipline, but 35 10| consumed, the thickest and most acrid portion is left, and of 36 16| whatever noble and manly actions they may perform lead only 37 21| with child, owing to their active course of life and the slenderness 38 20| horsemanship, so that they may be adepts at it; and because of their 39 21| shut up by fat and does not admit the semen; and, moreover, 40 2 | meteorology, it will be admitted, on second thoughts, that 41 7 | particularly subject to hernia, and adults to varices and ulcers on 42 2 | the season and the year advances, he can tell what epidemic 43 24| and excelling in military affairs; and likewise all the other 44 12| also are more gentle and affectionate. The cause of this is the 45 3 | 3. But how of the aforementioned things should be investigated 46 10| dryness of their flesh; the aged, too, have catarrhs from 47 16| perform lead only to the aggrandizement of their masters, whilst 48 7 | diseases with which such waters agree when drunk, as I will explain 49 10| nor Arcturus; this state agrees best with those who are 50 4 | discharges downwards of the alimentary canal hard, and of difficult 51 8 | snow and ice, and those allied to them, are the worst of 52 8 | consistence it is carried aloft. But when collected and 53 | alone 54 | along 55 22| appears that the semen is altered by this treatment, for there 56 7 | silver, gold, sulphur, alum, bitumen, or nitre (soda) 57 9 | sweet, another saltish and aluminous, and some flow from thermal 58 20| and as to the women, it is amazing how flabby and sluggish 59 3 | of hemorrhoids about the anus. Pleurisies, peripneumonies, 60 | anything 61 18| some having but a single apartment, and some three; they are 62 10| following observations:—If the appearances connected with the rising 63 18| other, the same observation applies to the Egyptians, only that 64 14| assume a lengthened shape by applying bandages and other suitable 65 17| to the right shoulder and arm.~ 66 20| cautery on their shoulders, arms, wrists, breasts, hip-joints, 67 16| changes of all kinds which arouse understanding of mankind, 68 17| and its development being arrested, all the strength and fullness 69 7 | the time of parturition arrives, the fulness of the belly 70 2 | unsuccessful in the practice of his art. And if it shall be thought 71 8 | is left behind. You may ascertain this in the following manner: 72 16| reasons, it appears to me, the Asiatic race is feeble, and further, 73 17| virgins; and they do not lay aside their virginity until they 74 9 | of a thick consistence it assimilates to itself, and thus it increases 75 14| hands, and constrain it to assume a lengthened shape by applying 76 3 | attacks of convulsions and asthma, which they consider to 77 2 | on second thoughts, that astronomy contributes not a little, 78 20| owing to their humidity and atony: but when they are burnt, 79 22| at least, as are severely attacked with it. They treat themselves 80 4 | a town they are late in attaining manhood. It is, as I have 81 24| bare soils, and not well attempered in the changes of the seasons, 82 4 | long-lived; their ulcers are not attended with serious discharges, 83 7 | accomplish his purpose by attending to the following directions: 84 20| and then they pay no attention to horsemanship, so that 85 1 | one ought to consider most attentively, and concerning the waters 86 8 | cloud and mist, but the most attenuated and lightest part is left, 87 22| affection, they put on female attire, reproach themselves for 88 8 | in addition to this, when attracted and raised up, being carried 89 22| inhabitants of the country attribute the cause of their impotence 90 11| equinoxes, but especially the autumnal. One ought also to be guarded 91 22| them, and afterwards they awaken, some in good health and 92 | away 93 7 | purpose. The next to them in badness are those which have their 94 14| lengthened shape by applying bandages and other suitable contrivances 95 16| all this, such Greeks or barbarians in Asia as are not under 96 19| the cold of winter and the barrenness of the country prevent their 97 24| for the most part, are base in spirit; indolence and 98 22| Scythians endure, not the basest, but the most noble and 99 | becoming 100 22| others, it ought not to have befallen the most noble and the richest 101 | beginning 102 10| them. But all these are beneficial to the phlegmatic, for they 103 7 | for boiling, these rather bind and dry up the bowels. People 104 7 | silver, gold, sulphur, alum, bitumen, or nitre (soda) in them; 105 24| broad make, fleshy, and have black hair; and they are rather 106 8 | spot, and thus it thickens, blackens, and is conglomerated, and 107 22| against the god whom they blame for the affection, they 108 24| not fenced, and rugged, blasted by the winter and scorched 109 4 | age are liable to severe bleedings at the nose in summer; attacks 110 24| well braced, rather of a blond than a dark complexion, 111 5 | most part, well colored and blooming, unless some disease counteract. 112 15| rather languid in supporting bodily fatigue. The seasons undergo 113 13| Maeotis (for this is the boundary of Europe and Asia), it 114 17| mount on horseback, use the bow, and throw the javelin from 115 20| neither strain with their bows, nor launch the javelin 116 20| shoulders, arms, wrists, breasts, hip-joints, and loins, 117 15| roughest voices, from their breathing an atmosphere which is not 118 22| because they always wear breeches, and spend the most of their 119 24| proportioned, but are of a broad make, fleshy, and have black 120 9 | sorts flow, and such as are brought from a considerable distance. 121 9 | wine, for such will least burn up and dry the veins. Calculi 122 10| by rain and heated by a burning sun, while, at the same 123 4 | and they are liable to burstings (of vessels?) for the most 124 9 | burn up and dry the veins. Calculi do not form so readily in 125 9 | occasions intense pain; so that calculous children rub their privy 126 10| likewise, when these diseases came upon them. But all these 127 4 | downwards of the alimentary canal hard, and of difficult evacuation, 128 15| trees, for there are many canals there. They drink the hot 129 15| sail about, up and down, in canoes constructed out of single 130 19| neither body nor mind is capable of enduring fatigue when 131 8 | do not sweat, for the sun carries off whatever sweat makes 132 19| deficient in tone: the internal cavities, and especially those of 133 12| the purest waters, both celestial and terrestrial. For neither 134 15| called by them the wind cenchron. The north wind scarcely 135 7 | for drink. But there are certain constitutions and diseases 136 23| induces indolence, but a changeable climate, laborious exertions 137 16| his disposition will be changed by the institutions. As 138 18| also eat hippace, which is cheese prepared from the milk of 139 4 | frequently supervenes after childbirth, for the efforts of it frequently 140 7 | loose, and pituitous, should choose the hardest, those kinds 141 8 | sweetest, the thinnest, and the clearest; for originally the sun 142 24| and will now explain more clearly. Such as inhabit a country 143 6 | the water and destroys its clearness, for the sun does not shine 144 24| arts they are dull, and not clever nor acute. When the country 145 12| seasons, may be said to bear a close resemblance to the spring. 146 19| same food, and the same clothing summer and winter, respiring 147 8 | from the other, and becomes cloud and mist, but the most attenuated 148 7 | hot; and their shoulders, collar-bones, and faces are emaciated; 149 5 | for the most part, well colored and blooming, unless some 150 22| way: when the disease is commencing, they open the vein behind 151 7 | But those are most to be commended which run to the rising 152 2 | treatment of the diseases, or commit mistakes, as is likely to 153 22| better, fancying they have committed some offence against the 154 6 | because the mist prevails commonly in the morning, and it is 155 4 | are liable to any common complaint which may be prevailing 156 22| inept at venery. But these complaints befall the Scythians, and 157 10| dropsies supervene at the conclusion of diseases; for the bowels 158 24| natures and shapes; drawing conclusions from them, you may judge 159 6 | regard to the winds that are conducive to health, or the contrary.~ 160 1 | whether it lies in a hollow, confined situation, or is elevated 161 17| Sauromatae, which inhabits the confines of the Palus Maeotis, and 162 8 | dissipated and dried up by the congelation, and not the heaviest and 163 8 | thickens, blackens, and is conglomerated, and by its weight it falls 164 9 | such as are brought from a considerable distance. For it is impossible 165 6 | upon the water until he be considerably raised above the horizon. 166 16| others, it is not a matter of consideration with them how they may acquire 167 2 | provided one had not previously considered these matters. And in particular, 168 7 | have no current; but being constantly supplied by rain-water, 169 14| it with their hands, and constrain it to assume a lengthened 170 10| watery part of the bile being consumed, the thickest and most acrid 171 10| coughs, and in some cases, consumption. But if the season is northerly 172 8 | and from all things which contain humidity, and there is humidity 173 22| affection takes its rise. From continued exercise on horseback they 174 23| thus their institutions contribute not a little to their courage.~ 175 14| bandages and other suitable contrivances whereby the spherical form 176 10| all to old men; and that convalescents will pass into quartans, 177 3 | are subject to attacks of convulsions and asthma, which they consider 178 1 | if saltish and unfit for cooking; and the ground, whether 179 14| their head, but now nature cooperates with usage. They think those 180 15| warm, humid, and wooded; copious and severe rains occur there 181 24| dispositions of mankind to correspond with the nature of the country; 182 24| productions of the earth corresponding to the earth itself. Thus 183 19| uniform temperature, no corruption or deterioration takes place 184 10| addition hoarseness, coryza, coughs, and in some cases, consumption. 185 5 | blooming, unless some disease counteract. The inhabitants have clear 186 1 | such as are common to all countries, and then such as are peculiar 187 23| the sake of others; they court hazard and go out to meet 188 8 | and are preserved by the cover so as not to be dissipated 189 19| uninhabitable. A thick fog covers the plains during the day, 190 19| and because they have no covert nor shelter. The changes 191 23| there they must be very cowardly, as I have stated before; 192 11| especially apt to prove critical in those days, and some 193 19| high-lying and naked, not crowned with mountains, but extending 194 16| by the enemy and want of culture. Thus, then, if any one 195 7 | smell, since they have no current; but being constantly supplied 196 18| their mode of life and their customs.~ 197 11| Now, the greatest and most dangerous are the two solstices, and 198 8 | part of it is turbid and darkish is separated and removed 199 16| are better and others more dastardly; of these differences, as 200 2 | little, but a very great deal, indeed, to medicine. For 201 16| they reap are dangers and death; and, in addition to all 202 7 | the bowels. People have deceived themselves with regard to 203 3 | and explained, I will now declare in a clear manner. A city 204 22| sacrifice more to the gods, and dedicate more votive offerings, inasmuch 205 7 | must be the waters from deep wells. But those are most 206 22| the gods, if, indeed, they delight in being thus rewarded by 207 5 | clear, fragrant, soft, and delightful to drink, in such a city. 208 19| winter, respiring a humid and dense atmosphere, and drinking 209 9 | the others. There must be deposits of mud and sand in the vessels 210 7 | what good effects may be derived from water; for water contributes 211 12| up young of the fairest description; the inhabitants too, are 212 18| What is called the Scythian desert is a prairie, rich in meadows, 213 22| fatigue they forget the sexual desire, and do not make the attempt 214 16| Asia as are not under a despotic form of government, but 215 14| spherical form of the head is destroyed, and it is made to increase 216 6 | mixed up with the water and destroys its clearness, for the sun 217 19| temperature, no corruption or deterioration takes place in the concretion 218 17| strength and fullness are determined to the right shoulder and 219 17| which is burnt up, and its development being arrested, all the 220 6 | breezes from the east blow and dews fall; and in the latter 221 3 | to attacks of dysentery, diarrhea, hepialus, chronic fevers 222 7 | and in summer dysenteries, diarrheas, and protracted quartan 223 | did 224 12| I say, then, that Asia differs very much from Europe as 225 2 | For with the seasons the digestive organs of men undergo a 226 9 | give children only the most diluted wine, for such will least 227 9 | the urethra in women opens direct into the pudendum, which 228 8 | clouds from the opposite direction: there it is first condensed, 229 7 | attending to the following directions: To persons whose bellies 230 9 | being all mixed up together disagree, and the strongest part 231 4 | dropsies in the testicle, which disappear as they grow older; in such 232 16| they may acquire military discipline, but how they may seem not 233 3 | bellies subject to frequent disorders, owing to the phlegm running 234 5 | upon them purifies them, by dispelling the vapors which generally 235 24| temperament; they are not disposed to endure labor, and, for 236 8 | measure the water again when dissolved you will find it much less 237 9 | brought from a considerable distance. For it is impossible that 238 14| children of parents having distorted eyes squint also for the 239 3 | diseases are peculiar to the district: in the first place, the 240 23| winds, from which many and diversified changes are induced. These 241 10| the heat is necessarily doubled from the earth, which is 242 2 | so that he will not be in doubt as to the treatment of the 243 24| opposite natures and shapes; drawing conclusions from them, you 244 8 | from man himself the sun draws off the thinnest and lightest 245 22| such persons, every one dreading that the like might befall 246 7 | disappears, and this happens from dropsy of the uterus. Such waters 247 12| heat, nor dried up by the drought and want of rain, nor do 248 23| rains, and again protracted droughts, and winds, from which many 249 4 | possible to be gourmands and drunkards at the same time. Ophthalmies, 250 24| and to the arts they are dull, and not clever nor acute. 251 3 | serious nature, and of short duration, unless they attack epidemically 252 24| their nature; but such as dwell in places which are low-lying, 253 15| among the fens; for their dwellings are constructed of wood 254 3 | are subject to attacks of dysentery, diarrhea, hepialus, chronic 255 22| open the vein behind either ear, and when the blood flows, 256 22| there are veins behind the ears which, if cut, induce impotence; 257 5 | very prolific, and have easy deliveries. Thus it is with 258 23| changes are likely to have an effect upon generation in the coagulation 259 22| reproach themselves for effeminacy, play the part of women, 260 22| Such persons are called effeminates. The inhabitants of the 261 4 | after childbirth, for the efforts of it frequently bring on 262 20| at first, because, as in Egypt, they are not swathed (?); 263 19| Scythian race, like the Egyptian, have a uniformity of resemblance, 264 10| are phlegmatic, and more elderly than forty years, and pleurisies 265 21| that of the women, they are embonpoint and humidity; for the womb 266 16| roused to inconsiderate emotion and passion, rather than 267 16| most warlike; for these encounter dangers on their own account, 268 8 | allow them to rest, suddenly encounters another wind and other clouds 269 3 | cold. These diseases are endemic to them, and, moreover, 270 | ending 271 12| the spring. Manly courage, endurance of suffering, laborious 272 19| body nor mind is capable of enduring fatigue when the changes 273 16| must be laid waste by the enemy and want of culture. Thus, 274 6 | therefore they are pale and enfeebled, and are partly subject 275 7 | that they are most apt to engender phlegm, and bring on hoarseness; 276 24| have prominent bellies and enlarged spleens. But such as inhabit 277 23| before; for their souls are enslaved, and they will not willingly, 278 2 | sort of a year is going to ensue. Having made these investigations, 279 24| and to be naturally of an enterprising and warlike disposition; 280 3 | chronic fevers in winter, of epinyctis, frequently, and of hemorrhoids 281 23| where they are alike and equable. And the same may be said 282 12| predominant quality, but a general equality of temperature prevails. 283 11| summer, and also the two equinoxes, but especially the autumnal. 284 15| wood and reeds, and are erected amidst the waters; they 285 24| rest without any risk of error.~ ~ 286 10| storms supervene, and if the etesian winds blow, there is reason 287 22| to these, there are many eunuchs among the Scythians, who 288 | everywhere 289 14| and children with blue eves to parents who have blue 290 24| as regards the arts, and excelling in military affairs; and 291 15| are southerly, with the exception of one peculiar to the country, 292 3 | are sickly and subject to excessive menstruation; then many 293 9 | urine, but raises its heat excessively. And the thinnest part of 294 10| when it should have been expanded and purged, by the coryza 295 17| the necessity of a general expedition obliges her. They have no 296 9 | happen, the bladder does not expel the urine, but raises its 297 9 | them the urine is easily expelled; neither do they rub the 298 2 | individual will be in danger of experiencing from the change of regimen. 299 3 | should be investigated and explained, I will now declare in a 300 8 | measure into a vessel and expose it to the open air until 301 4 | which have the opposite exposure, namely, to cold winds, 302 19| crowned with mountains, but extending upwards under the Northern 303 23| mind induces wildness, and extinguishes sociableness and mildness 304 7 | shoulders, collar-bones, and faces are emaciated; for their 305 19| great nor violent, for, in fact, they change gradually; 306 18| their cattle, and when that fails they migrate to some other 307 12| and bring up young of the fairest description; the inhabitants 308 22| they succeed no better, fancying they have committed some 309 14| head is still tender, they fashion it with their hands, and 310 22| rewarded by men, and grant favors in return; for it is likely 311 10| will necessarily be of a febrile character, and give rise 312 22| blood flows, sleep, from feebleness, seizes them, and afterwards 313 18| they are covered in with felt, and they are constructed 314 24| the country is bare, not fenced, and rugged, blasted by 315 15| inhabitants is spent among the fens; for their dwellings are 316 24| country; for where the land is fertile, soft, and well-watered, 317 24| inclining rather to the fierce than to the mild; and you 318 3 | And when they pass their fiftieth year, defluxions supervening 319 17| javelin from their horses, and fight with their enemies as long 320 24| and where the seasons are fine, there the men are fleshy, 321 22| ear, and when the blood flows, sleep, from feebleness, 322 4 | while those upwards are more fluid, and rather bilious than 323 19| rendered uninhabitable. A thick fog covers the plains during 324 19| all equally use the same food, and the same clothing summer 325 11| these things may be able to foresee most of the effects which 326 13| greatest variety of mountains, forests, plains, and meadows; but 327 22| the cold and fatigue they forget the sexual desire, and do 328 | forty 329 9 | because the thickest and foulest part remains and is concreted. 330 18| smallest of these wagons have four wheels, but some have six; 331 13| which modify their natural frame of body are varied, and 332 23| another; but those that are free undertake dangers on their 333 9 | such persons pass water freely, and no concretion forms 334 16| their wives, and other friends; and whatever noble and 335 8 | open air until it is all frozen, and then on the following 336 19| those of the intestines, are full of humors; for the belly 337 17| arrested, all the strength and fullness are determined to the right 338 7 | parturition arrives, the fulness of the belly disappears, 339 5 | if there should not be a furlong between them. In the first 340 21| prolific. Their female servants furnish a strong proof of this; 341 23| likely to have an effect upon generation in the coagulation of the 342 12| trees, and have the most genial climate, and enjoy the purest 343 16| are more unwarlike and of gentler disposition than the Europeans 344 17| takes to herself a husband, gives up riding on horseback unless 345 22| upbraid the gods for not giving them wealth, so that those 346 2 | beforehand what sort of a year is going to ensue. Having made these 347 7 | having iron, copper, silver, gold, sulphur, alum, bitumen, 348 4 | it is not possible to be gourmands and drunkards at the same 349 22| the joints, sciatica, and gout, and they are inept at venery. 350 16| under a despotic form of government, but are independent, and 351 19| for, in fact, they change gradually; and therefore their figures 352 22| thus rewarded by men, and grant favors in return; for it 353 16| proof of all this, such Greeks or barbarians in Asia as 354 1 | unfit for cooking; and the ground, whether it be naked and 355 7 | which flow from elevated grounds, and hills of earth; these 356 15| stature, and of a very gross habit of body, so that not a joint 357 7 | medicines. This disease is habitual to them both in summer and 358 24| fleshy, and have black hair; and they are rather of 359 19| fat, and the absence of hairs from their bodies, their 360 9 | pudendum with their hands, nor handle the passage like males; 361 22| owing to their legs always hanging down below their horses; 362 14| what is to prevent it from happening that a child with a long 363 7 | pituitous, should choose the hardest, those kinds that are most 364 7 | as are salty, crude, and harsh, are not good for drink. 365 23| sake of others; they court hazard and go out to meet it, for 366 10| autumn rainy and southerly, headache and sphacelus of the brain 367 9 | hot and bilious, for it heats the bowels and bladder, 368 8 | congelation, and not the heaviest and thickest, for that is 369 3 | epinyctis, frequently, and of hemorrhoids about the anus. Pleurisies, 370 | hence 371 3 | of dysentery, diarrhea, hepialus, chronic fevers in winter, 372 | her 373 7 | particularly subject to hernia, and adults to varices and 374 | herself 375 7 | from elevated grounds, and hills of earth; these are sweet, 376 22| become lame and stiff at the hip-joint, such of them, at least, 377 20| arms, wrists, breasts, hip-joints, and loins, and that for 378 18| milk of mares, and also eat hippace, which is cheese prepared 379 6 | Their voices are rough and hoarse owing to the state of the 380 1 | and whether it lies in a hollow, confined situation, or 381 22| as not being able to pay honors to the gods, if, indeed, 382 10| blow, there is reason to hope that these diseases will 383 6 | considerably raised above the horizon. And in summer, cold breezes 384 20| they pay no attention to horsemanship, so that they may be adepts 385 22| either more divine or more human than another, but that all 386 17| Whoever takes to herself a husband, gives up riding on horseback 387 24| the men are fleshy, have ill-formed joints, and are of a humid 388 19| are gross and fleshy, with ill-marked joints, of a humid temperament, 389 24| Those who live on thin, ill-watered, and bare soils, and not 390 14| with regard to the usage: immediately after the child is born, 391 9 | winds, for the north wind imparts strength to this water, 392 15| unwholesome, feeble and imperfect growth, owing to the redundance 393 22| Scythians, and they are the most impotent of men for the aforesaid 394 6 | a situation is generally impure and unwholesome, for they 395 11| cautery to the belly, nor make incisions there until ten or more 396 24| haughty and opinionative, inclining rather to the fierce than 397 16| ruffled and they be roused to inconsiderate emotion and passion, rather 398 14| destroyed, and it is made to increase in length. Thus, at first, 399 9 | assimilates to itself, and thus it increases and becomes indurated. And 400 19| the wild beasts which are indigenous there are small in size 401 4 | them; for the hardness and indigestable nature of the water puts 402 4 | from the waters being hard, indigestible, and cold; and their menstrual 403 2 | in winter, and what each individual will be in danger of experiencing 404 21| moreover, they themselves are indolent and fat, and their bellies 405 22| the ears which, if cut, induce impotence; now, these veins 406 23| diversified changes are induced. These changes are likely 407 9 | it increases and becomes indurated. And when such persons make 408 24| well-braced, and shaggy; sharp, industry and vigilance accompany 409 22| and gout, and they are inept at venery. But these complaints 410 7 | regard to salt waters, from inexperience, for they think these waters 411 3 | consider to be connected with infancy, and hold to be a sacred 412 9 | heated, its neck becomes inflamed; and when these things happen, 413 1 | rising of the sun; for its influence is not the same whether 414 24| will find them acute and ingenious as regards the arts, and 415 17| called Sauromatae, which inhabits the confines of the Palus 416 10| with women; but it is most inimical to the bilious; for they 417 17| mothers heat strongly a copper instrument constructed for this very 418 5 | voices, and in temper and intellect are superior to those which 419 14| prevails owing to their intercourse with other men. Thus it 420 12| parts of the country as lie intermediate between the heat and the 421 19| and deficient in tone: the internal cavities, and especially 422 21| but scanty and at too long intervals; and the mouth of the womb 423 19| especially those of the intestines, are full of humors; for 424 3 | especially if carried to intoxication, is oppressive to them; 425 7 | bowels; but such as are intractable, hard, and by no means proper 426 3 | aforementioned things should be investigated and explained, I will now 427 2 | ensue. Having made these investigations, and knowing beforehand 428 7 | waters, such as those having iron, copper, silver, gold, sulphur, 429 21| and besides, from being jaded by exercise on horseback, 430 15| sallow, as if affected with jaundice. Of all men they have the 431 15| habit of body, so that not a joint nor vein is visible; in 432 8 | and lightest part of the juices. As a strong proof of this, 433 9 | seized with diseases of the kidneys, strangury, sciatica, and 434 17| their virginity until they kill three of their enemies, 435 2 | place, he will be able to know beforehand what sort of 436 2 | everything else. For if one knows all these things well, or 437 16| the fruits of their own labors, are of all others the most 438 16| of such persons must be laid waste by the enemy and want 439 9 | rivulets run, or from a lake into which many streams 440 22| they afterwards become lame and stiff at the hip-joint, 441 16| addition to all this, the lands of such persons must be 442 15| they are naturally rather languid in supporting bodily fatigue. 443 24| ventilated, and who have a larger proportion of hot than of 444 4 | in such a town they are late in attaining manhood. It 445 20| strain with their bows, nor launch the javelin from their shoulder 446 17| sacrifices according to law. Whoever takes to herself 447 16| further, owing to their laws; for monarchy prevails in 448 17| virgins; and they do not lay aside their virginity until 449 16| actions they may perform lead only to the aggrandizement 450 19| much water, for these never leave the mountains, which are 451 14| constrain it to assume a lengthened shape by applying bandages 452 7 | are subject to oedema and leucophlegmasiae; when pregnant they have 453 24| country, and one that is level, windy, and well-watered, 454 12| with the Egyptians and Libyans.~ 455 10| phagedenic from any cause; and lienteries and dropsies supervene at 456 8 | thinnest part, owing to its lightness, and he abstracts this not 457 24| the country in which one lives, and the waters; for, in 458 16| and passion, rather than living as they do always in the 459 10| body and its flesh must be loaded with humors, so that very 460 1 | as are peculiar to each locality. We must also consider the 461 7 | wasted and sickly, and the lochial discharge after parturition 462 20| breasts, hip-joints, and loins, and that for no other reason 463 14| most noble who have the longest heads. It is thus with regard 464 7 | solvent nature, naturally loosen readily and melt down the 465 7 | likely to be bound up than loosened by them. And thus it is 466 22| attempt until after they have lost their virility. Thus it 467 24| dwell in places which are low-lying, abounding in meadows and 468 14| and, first, concerning the Macrocephali. There is no other race 469 | makes 470 22| remain quiet; but when, after making the attempt two, three, 471 4 | serious discharges, nor of a malignant character; in disposition 472 4 | they are late in attaining manhood. It is, as I have now stated, 473 7 | liable to pneumonia, and maniacal affections; and older persons 474 18| prepared from the milk of the mare. Such is their mode of life 475 18| meat, and drink the milk of mares, and also eat hippace, which 476 12| to the greatest and most marked differences. I say, then, 477 15| either to the city or the market, but sail about, up and 478 20| and all the Nomades, with marks of the cautery on their 479 16| slaves of others, it is not a matter of consideration with them 480 18| other place. They eat boiled meat, and drink the milk of mares, 481 23| court hazard and go out to meet it, for they themselves 482 10| chronic, and in some cases melancholy; for the most humid and 483 7 | naturally loosen readily and melt down the bowels; but such 484 7 | emaciated; for their flesh is melted down and taken up by the 485 10| from their flabbiness and melting of the veins, so that some 486 3 | and subject to excessive menstruation; then many are unfruitful 487 2 | things belong rather to meteorology, it will be admitted, on 488 12| because it lies in the middle of the risings of the sun 489 18| and when that fails they migrate to some other place. They 490 20| because of their frequent migrations and shiftings of situation; 491 12| in Asia; the country is milder, and the dispositions of 492 24| to one another; but their minds will be rather unmanly and 493 3 | and they have frequent miscarriages; infants are subject to 494 10| place in spring, are apt to miscarry; and such as bring forth, 495 | miss 496 2 | the diseases, or commit mistakes, as is likely to be the 497 15| which is not clear, but misty and humid; they are naturally 498 5 | the heat and cold are more moderate. Then such waters as flow 499 5 | resembles the spring as to moderation between heat and cold, and 500 13| land. For the seasons which modify their natural frame of body
