Two notes from Hippocrates’ Epidemics
6.294
“There are those who get gassy when they have sex, like Damnagoras did. They fart in the act.”
Ἔστιν οἷσιν ὅταν ἀφροδισιάζωσι φυσᾶται ἡ γαστήρ, ὡς Δαμναγόρᾳ, οἷσι δ᾿ ἐν τούτῳ ψόφος.
6.317
“A person’s soul keeps growing until death. When the soul grows feverish because of a sickness, it consumes the body.”
Ἀνθρώπου ψυχὴ φύεται μέχρι θανάτου· ἢν δὲ ἐκπυρωθῇ ἅμα τῇ νούσῳ καὶ ἡ ψυχή, τὸ σῶμα φέρβεται
