[193] They refer apparently to Deipnos, ii., 7, where Athenæus quotes a treatise of Hippocrates περὶ τόπων, but he evidently means by it the work “de Aëre, Aquis, Locis.” It is to be borne in mind that Athenæus often makes his references in a loose manner.

See also Le Clerc, Hist. de la Méd., iii., 17; and Sprengel, Hist. de la Méd., tom. i., p. 325, etc. A passage, which we shall see below, in the Prognostics (§ 15) puts it beyond a doubt that venesection was part of the routine of practice pursued by Hippocrates in cases of pneumonia. See also (and this passage is very decisive) de Diæta in Morb. Acut., § 5; and Galen’s Commentary, pluries.
