Quote:I think the quote is a simplification of a longer sentence in "Physician (περί ἰητρόν), 14". This work has no online version, so I looked it up in the loeb classical librari 482, page 315.I think you must be right. Of the many, many instances where this line is "quoted" by (non-classicist) medics, I found one that credited it (wrongly) to "On wounds in the head" and one other that credited it to Loeb Vol. 482, p. 315!
