Under exanthematic types come also the various _condylomata_. These when they appeared on the genitals and in other localities of the body, were called by the Greeks σῦκος, συκώσις, σύκωμα, συκώδης ὄγκος, (fig, figlike excrescence, figlike swelling, figlike lump), by the Romans _ficus_ (fig), whereas the same disease when it showed itself on the fundament, received the name of condyloma[422] _par excellence_. At the same time this distinction was by no means strictly observed; in particular the larger forms of _thymus_ (warty excrescence) were designated by the name σῦκος (fig), albeit it would seem that _thymus_ was used as specific name for all protuberances on the fundament and genitals. Σῦκος or _ficus_ is according to _Galen_[423] an ulcerative tubercle secreting moisture,—the _varus_ (blotchy eruption) on the contrary being dry, according to _Oribasius_[424] of circular shape and reddish colour, hardish and rather painful. It is found above all on the hairy parts of the body, the head, chin, fundament and genitals,[425] as the passages quoted above in § 13 from Martial show. They occurred, as it would seem, most frequently on the female genitals, in which situation they are described so long ago as by _Hippocrates_[426] under the name of κιων (pillar, pillar-like excrescence) and said to be evil-smelling. _Aspasia_[427] says, “condyloma est rugosa eminentia. Rugae enim circa os uteri existentes dum inflammantur, attolluntur et indurantur, tumoremque ac crassitudinem quandam in locis efficiunt.” (a condyloma is a wrinkled protuberance. For when the wrinkles surrounding the orifice of the uterus grow inflamed, they become prominent and indurated, occasioning a swelling and thickening in the parts). _Paulus Aegineta_ (III. 75., VI. 71.) describes them under the name of _hemorrhoids_ as painful, reddish, excrescences suffused with blood, which break (διαλείμμασι), and give off a pale discharge in drops. Much more common was the appearance of _condylomata on the fundament_,[428][429] particularly in male subjects; in which case they were specially ascribed to pederastia, as we have already seen. This makes it impossible to decide definitely which condylomata were of primary and which of secondary character; but the fact in no way authorizes us to deny altogether the occurrence of the latter in Ancient times. 7.
