Description

Annotation

First Sentence

Galen had the disconcerting habit, according to a treatise On the Medical Names we only know through its Arabic translation, to reply to questions concerning the name of a sickness by throwing back at random proper names, such as: "The name of this fever is Zenon, or Apollonios," or any other name that might come to his mind.
