“sweating profusely” sudans multum, Fronto
“much sweat was pouring down” πολὺς δ’ ἐξέρρεεν ἱδρὼς, Quintus Smyrnaeus
Aristotle, Problems 2, 866b10 (Problems Concerning Sweat) Selections
“Why does head sweat not stink or at least stink less than that from the body? Is it because the top of the head is well aired?”
Διὰ τί ὁ ἱδρὼς ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἢ οὐκ ὄζει ἢ ἧττον | τοῦ ἐκ τοῦ σώματος; ἢ ὅτι εὔπνους ὁ τῆς κεφαλῆς τόπος
“Why does the face sweat most of all?”
Διὰ τί ἱδροῦσι μάλιστα τὰ πρόσωπα;
“Why do our backs sweat more than our fronts?”
Διὰ τί ἱδροῦμεν τὸν νῶτον μᾶλλον ἢ τὰ πρόσθεν;
“Why do we sweat less while we are toiling than when we stop?”
Διὰ τί ἧττον ἱδροῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ πονεῖν ἢ ἀνέντες;
