[407] _Suidas_ writes: _ὕπουλος_—ὡς ἐπὶ τῶν ἑλκῶν, τῶν ἐχόντων οὐλὰς ὑγιεῖς ἐπιπολαίως, ἔνδοθεν δὲ σηπεδόνας πυώδεις.—_ὕπουλα γόνατα_ καὶ _ὕπουλον πόδα_ καὶ _ὕπουλον χεῖρα_ καὶ _σῶμα_· τὸ φλεγμαῖνον διά τινας πληγὰς καὶ ἑγγὺς τοῦ ἀφίστασθαι ὄν· Κρατῖνος· _ὕπουλα ἕλκη_· τὰ κρυπτά.—_Hesychius_: ὕπουλα δὲ λέγεται τὰ μὴ φανερὰ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ἕλκη. _ὕπουλος_—applied to wounds, those that have healthy scars on the surface, but underneath offensive putrefactions,—said of the knees, or foot, or hand, or body; the part that is highly inflamed in consequence of blows and is near breaking. Cratinus gives: _ὕπουλα_ wounds, i.e. hidden ones.—_Hesychius_: _ὕπουλα_ is said of wounds that are not manifest to the eye.—The word ὕπαφρον (frothy beneath), which is found in Hippocrates, De Arte, Vol. I. p. 17. K., instead of which the MSS. also have ὑπόῤῥοον (liquid underneath), and _Schneider_ in his Lexicon wished to read ὑπόφερον (bearing underneath), _Hesychius_ explains as τὸ μὴ φανερὸν κρύφιον καὶ _ὕπουλον_ (that which is not visible, concealed and festering underneath).—Ought we to read for καὶ ἴξιν perhaps κατ’ ἴξιν? Comp. _Erotion_, Glossary to Hippocrates, edit. _Franz_, p. 322. [408] A remarkable proof of the acquaintance of Italian scholars with German Literary History. The Author dedicated this letter in the year 1823 to _Gruner_ who died in 1815, and forwarded him a copy with an autograph inscription. Both are preserved in the University Library at Jena.
