Abstract

This paper deals with the distinction between kinds of passages (the general passages and the individual ones) in Epidemics II, IV and VI, and is specially focussed on the individual passages, about individual patients, and their different kinds also: the “clinical histories” and the passages introduced by οἷον, etc., where the patient is mentioned like example or in comparison with another. Significant divergences in Epid. IV are observed, and a stronger coincidence between Epid. II and VI .
