The application of the word to a hill was exceedingly<br />

natural to a physician, as in medical language the very same<br />

epithets were applied to the appearance of the eyebrows in<br />

certain diseases as were commonly applied to hills, e. g.<br />

Hippocrates, describing a deadly kind of fever, applies<br />

eTTiKpenaadai to the eyebrows<br />
