Thus, at first, usage operated, so that this constitution 539 24| passions they are haughty and opinionative, inclining rather to the 540 3 | carried to intoxication, is oppressive to them; and the following 541 23| readily undergo dangers in order to promote the power of 542 10| s bellies are not in an orderly state, nor the brain properly 543 2 | the seasons the digestive organs of men undergo a change.~ 544 8 | thinnest, and the clearest; for originally the sun raises and attracts 545 | otherwise 546 | over 547 15| much vapor from the waters overspreads the country.

Phthisis 614 12| climate has no predominant quality, but a general equality 615 7 | diarrheas, and protracted quartan fevers frequently seize 616 22| much about it, but remain quiet; but when, after making 617 13| undergo the greatest and most rapid changes, there the country 618 4 | attacks of epilepsy are rare but severe. Such people 619 20| their time in the wagon, and rarely practise walking, because 620 15| The north wind scarcely reaches them, and when it does blow 621 16| whilst the fruits which they reap are dangers and death; and, 622 12| the cattle also which are reared there are vigorous, particularly 623 7 | uterus. Such waters then I reckon bad for every purpose. The 624 3 | and whatever diseases are reckoned acute, do not often occur, 625 8 | congealed, they never again recover their former nature; for 626 15| imperfect growth, owing to the redundance of water, and on this account 627 15| constructed of wood and reeds, and are erected amidst 628 2 | experiencing from the change of regimen. For knowing the changes 629 4 | menstrual discharges are not regular, but in small quantity, 630 12| there pleasure necessarily reigns. For this reason, also, 631 9 | thickest and foulest part remains and is concreted. Thus it 632 3 | supervening from the brain, render them paralytic when exposed 633 22| they put on female attire, reproach themselves for effeminacy, 634 5 | better. A city so situated resembles the spring as to moderation 635 14| have heads in the least resembling theirs. At first, usage 636 12| and Europe, how, in all respects, they differ from one another, 637 19| clothing summer and winter, respiring a humid and dense atmosphere, 638 22| men, and grant favors in return; for it is likely that the 639 7 | whereas they are the very reverse; for such waters are crude, 640 22| they delight in being thus rewarded by men, and grant favors 641 23| themselves bear off the rewards of victory, and thus their 642 22| then many are affected with rheums in the joints, sciatica, 643 19| Northern Bears, and the Rhiphaean mountains, whence the north 644 22| befallen the most noble and the richest of the Scythians alone, 645 15| this account they do not ripen, for much vapor from the 646 24| of the rest without any risk of error.~ ~ 647 9 | rivers into which other rivulets run, or from a lake into 648 7 | have their fountains in rocks, so that they must necessarily 649 1 | running from elevated and rocky situations, and then if 650 9 | afterwards in greater; for being rolled about in the urine, whatever 651 6 | to them. Their voices are rough and hoarse owing to the 652 15| Of all men they have the roughest voices, from their breathing 653 16| might be ruffled and they be roused to inconsiderate emotion 654 16| whereby the temper might be ruffled and they be roused to inconsiderate 655 15| stagnant of all rivers, and runs the smoothest; all the fruits 656 4 | nature, and soon ending in rupture of the eyes; persons under 657 9 | strangury, sciatica, and become ruptured, when they drink all sorts 658 | s 659 3 | infancy, and hold to be a sacred disease (epilepsy). The 660 22| is likely that the rich sacrifice more to the gods, and dedicate 661 17| men until they perform the sacrifices according to law. Whoever 662 15| city or the market, but sail about, up and down, in canoes 663 23| account, and not for the sake of others; they court hazard 664 15| visible; in color they are sallow, as if affected with jaundice. 665 7 | themselves with regard to salt waters, from inexperience, 666 7 | are most crude, and the saltiest, for thus will they be most 667 7 | light. But all such as are salty, crude, and harsh, are not 668 9 | must be deposits of mud and sand in the vessels from such 669 17| a Scythian race, called Sauromatae, which inhabits the confines 670 24| to have no little of the savage and ferocious in their nature; 671 21| such as it should be, but scanty and at too long intervals; 672 24| blasted by the winter and scorched by the sun, there you may 673 6 | setting sun particularly scorches the inhabitants, and therefore 674 8 | lakes, but also from the sea, and from all things which 675 10| if in spring the rains be seasonable, and so also in summer, 676 2 | it will be admitted, on second thoughts, that astronomy 677 9 | the thinnest part of it is secreted, and the purest part is 678 20| it; and because of their sedentary mode of life; for the males, 679 24| by the sun, there you may see the hardy, hardy, slender, 680 12| such as are raised from seed that has been sown, and 681 | seem 682 7 | quartan fevers frequently seize them, and these diseases 683 22| sleep, from feebleness, seizes them, and afterwards they 684 24| and passions haughty and self-willed. For, where the changes 685 21| not prolific. Their female servants furnish a strong proof of 686 16| shared, since they must serve as soldiers, perhaps endure 687 10| For when suffocating heat sets in all of a sudden, while 688 22| of them, at least, as are severely attacked with it. They treat 689 8 | the person comes into the shade the whole body equally perspires, 690 24| joints, well-braced, and shaggy; sharp, industry and vigilance 691 | shall 692 16| dangers are not equally shared, since they must serve as 693 24| well-braced, and shaggy; sharp, industry and vigilance 694 18| about on horses, and the sheep, oxen, and horses accompany 695 19| they have no covert nor shelter. The changes of the seasons, 696 20| frequent migrations and shiftings of situation; and as to 697 6 | clearness, for the sun does not shine upon the water until he 698 5 | For the sun in rising and shining upon them purifies them, 699 12| 12. I wish to show, respecting Asia and Europe, 700 21| the mouth of the womb is shut up by fat and does not admit 701 10| become paralytic on the right side or the left. For when, the 702 7 | those having iron, copper, silver, gold, sulphur, alum, bitumen, 703 20| carried about on horseback, sit the most of their time in 704 8 | man walks in the sun, or sits down having a garment on, 705 18| four wheels, but some have six; they are covered in with 706 20| for the whiteness of the skin is parched by the cold, 707 16| independent, but are the slaves of others, it is not a matter 708 22| and when the blood flows, sleep, from feebleness, seizes 709 21| active course of life and the slenderness of body.~ 710 20| is amazing how flabby and sluggish they are. The Scythian race 711 24| in spirit; indolence and sluggishness are visible in them, and 712 14| 14. I will pass over the smaller differences among the nations, 713 18| but live in wagons. The smallest of these wagons have four 714 15| all rivers, and runs the smoothest; all the fruits which spring 715 10| the earth, which is thus soaked by rain and heated by a 716 23| wildness, and extinguishes sociableness and mildness of disposition, 717 7 | alum, bitumen, or nitre (soda) in them; for all these 718 21| of his constitution, the softness and coldness of his belly, 719 24| thin, ill-watered, and bare soils, and not well attempered 720 16| since they must serve as soldiers, perhaps endure fatigue, 721 19| only when in the summer solstice, and warms them but for 722 11| most dangerous are the two solstices, and especially the summer, 723 7 | boiling, and are of a very solvent nature, naturally loosen 724 21| proof of this; for they no sooner have connection with a man 725 10| and there is danger of any sore that there is becoming phagedenic 726 2 | to know beforehand what sort of a year is going to ensue. 727 23| stated before; for their souls are enslaved, and they will 728 3 | they run from an elevated source, they are necessarily hot 729 12| from seed that has been sown, and such plants as the 730 22| perform female work, and speak like women. Such persons 731 22| always wear breeches, and spend the most of their time on 732 15| life of the inhabitants is spent among the fens; for their 733 10| southerly, headache and sphacelus of the brain are likely 734 14| contrivances whereby the spherical form of the head is destroyed, 735 7 | down and taken up by the spleen, and hence they are slender; 736 20| condition. They are flabby and squat at first, because, as in 737 14| parents having distorted eyes squint also for the most part; 738 22| afterwards become lame and stiff at the hip-joint, such of 739 9 | neck of the bladder and stops the urine, and occasions 740 10| Dogstar rain and wintery storms supervene, and if the etesian 741 12| treat of all would be a long story, but I will tell you how 742 20| constitution, for they can neither strain with their bows, nor launch 743 8 | require to be boiled and strained; for otherwise they have 744 4 | frequently bring on ruptures and strains. Children while still little 745 2 | knowing, when he comes into a strange city, either the diseases 746 1 | a city to which he is a stranger, he ought to consider its 747 9 | diseases of the kidneys, strangury, sciatica, and become ruptured, 748 9 | from a lake into which many streams of all sorts flow, and such 749 3 | when exposed suddently to strokes of the sun, or to cold. 750 11| 11. Whoever studies and observes these things 751 10| suffocating heat sets in all of a sudden, while the earth is moistened 752 3 | them paralytic when exposed suddently to strokes of the sun, or 753 12| want of rain, nor do they suffer from the cold; since they 754 12| Manly courage, endurance of suffering, laborious enterprise, and 755 10| and dysenteries. For when suffocating heat sets in all of a sudden, 756 7 | iron, copper, silver, gold, sulphur, alum, bitumen, or nitre ( 757 5 | temper and intellect are superior to those which are exposed 758 4 | milk. Phthisis frequently supervenes after childbirth, for the 759 15| naturally rather languid in supporting bodily fatigue. The seasons 760 12| the season, as might be supposed, grow in abundance, both 761 9 | parts and tear at them, as supposing that the obstruction to 762 4 | many become affected with suppurations in the lungs, the cause 763 20| as in Egypt, they are not swathed (?); and then they pay no 764 7 | their infants are large and swelled, and then during nursing 765 15| putrid by the sun, and when swollen with rains. The Phasis itself 766 7 | flesh is melted down and taken up by the spleen, and hence 767 1 | differ from one another in taste and weight, so also do they 768 9 | rub their privy parts and tear at them, as supposing that 769 11| make incisions there until ten or more days be past. Now, 770 12| and heat), for nothing tends to growth and mildness so 771 4 | the cause of which is the tension of the body, and hardness 772 10| winter be mild, neither very tepid nor unseasonably cold, and 773 12| waters, both celestial and terrestrial. For neither are they much 774 4 | subject to dropsies in the testicle, which disappear as they 775 8 | situation where the ice will thaw, if you will measure the 776 14| in the least resembling theirs. At first, usage was the 777 8 | to the spot, and thus it thickens, blackens, and is conglomerated, 778 7 | those to the risings; and third, those between the summer 779 7 | persons then are voracious and thirsty; their bellies are very 780 4 | the eyes; persons under thirty years of age are liable 781 2 | art. And if it shall be thought that these things belong 782 2 | will be admitted, on second thoughts, that astronomy contributes 783 17| horseback, use the bow, and throw the javelin from their horses, 784 22| attempt two, three, or more times, they succeed no better, 785 19| temperament, and deficient in tone: the internal cavities, 786 16| allow them to get into a torpid condition. For these reasons, 787 4 | they grow older; in such a town they are late in attaining 788 12| inhabitants make use of, training them from their wild state 789 12| from their wild state and transplanting them to a suitable soil; 790 13| another than those I have treated of above, owing to the differences 791 24| there are in Europe other tribes, differing from one another 792 5 | healthy than such as are turned to the North, or those exposed 793 4 | forth children, they are unable to nurse them; for the hardness 794 9 | urine being also heated undergoes the same change. And I hold 795 19| such as can be sheltered underground; for the cold of winter 796 23| but those that are free undertake dangers on their own account, 797 13| is the wildest and most unequal; and you will find the greatest 798 1 | and then if saltish and unfit for cooking; and the ground, 799 3 | menstruation; then many are unfruitful from disease, and not from 800 19| for the seasons being of a uniform temperature, no corruption 801 19| like the Egyptian, have a uniformity of resemblance, different 802 19| which are thereby rendered uninhabitable. A thick fog covers the 803 24| their minds will be rather unmanly and gentle. Those who live 804 10| neither very tepid nor unseasonably cold, and if in spring the 805 23| dispositions, for the wild, and unsociable, and the passionate occur 806 2 | health, and be by no means unsuccessful in the practice of his art. 807 16| reason the Asiatics are more unwarlike and of gentler disposition 808 22| this way, and, moreover, upbraid the gods for not giving 809 | used 810 7 | long-lived, but before the usual period they fall into a 811 7 | happens from dropsy of the uterus. Such waters then I reckon 812 16| the prizes of their own valor, and in like manner endure 813 15| they do not ripen, for much vapor from the waters overspreads 814 5 | them, by dispelling the vapors which generally prevail 815 7 | to hernia, and adults to varices and ulcers on their legs, 816 13| varied, and the greater the varieties of them the greater also 817 22| impotence to a god, and venerate and worship such persons, 818 24| abounding in meadows and ill ventilated, and who have a larger proportion 819 10| earth is moistened by the vernal showers, and by the south 820 8 | water by measure into a vessel and expose it to the open 821 23| bear off the rewards of victory, and thus their institutions 822 24| shaggy; sharp, industry and vigilance accompany such a constitution; 823 12| which are reared there are vigorous, particularly prolific, 824 17| they do not lay aside their virginity until they kill three of 825 17| enemies as long as they are virgins; and they do not lay aside 826 22| after they have lost their virility. Thus it is with the race 827 23| stature in the same city; for vitiations of the semen occur in its 828 8 | hoarseness and thickness of the voice to those who drink them. 829 7 | slender; such persons then are voracious and thirsty; their bellies 830 22| gods, and dedicate more votive offerings, inasmuch as they 831 20| most of their time in the wagon, and rarely practise walking, 832 8 | proof of this, when a man walks in the sun, or sits down 833 19| the summer solstice, and warms them but for a short period, 834 16| such persons must be laid waste by the enemy and want of 835 7 | during nursing they become wasted and sickly, and the lochial 836 10| for the most humid and watery part of the bile being consumed, 837 | We 838 22| and because they always wear breeches, and spend the 839 23| nor in rainy as in dry weather; wherefore, I think, that 840 8 | but the most turbid and weightiest part is left behind. You 841 24| with well-shaped joints, well-braced, and shaggy; sharp, industry 842 24| hardy, hardy, slender, with well-shaped joints, well-braced, and 843 7 | be the waters from deep wells. But those are most to be 844 | were 845 6 | such cities as lie to the west, and which are sheltered 846 18| of these wagons have four wheels, but some have six; they 847 | whence 848 | whenever 849 | wherever 850 16| aggrandizement of their masters, whilst the fruits which they reap 851 20| heat of the sun, for the whiteness of the skin is parched by 852 | whole 853 | why 854 13| there the country is the wildest and most unequal; and you 855 23| excitement of the mind induces wildness, and extinguishes sociableness 856 24| and one that is level, windy, and well-watered, will 857 23| the heat is strong, the winters severe, and there are frequent 858 10| of the Dogstar rain and wintery storms supervene, and if 859 16| from their children, their wives, and other friends; and 860 15| dwellings are constructed of wood and reeds, and are erected 861 20| on their shoulders, arms, wrists, breasts, hip-joints, and 862 | yet 863 18| The wagons are drawn by yokes of oxen, some of two and 864 12| particularly prolific, and bring up young of the fairest description; 865 7 | in summer; but in winter younger persons are liable to pneumonia,
