The healing of a demoniac child.—Luke, ix. 38, 39 : And,<br />

behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I<br />

beseech thee, look upon {lirijSXexfjov) my son, for he is mine<br />

only child. And, lo, a sj)irit taketh him, and he suddenly<br />

{l^ai(f)vi]g) crieth out ; and it teareth him that he foameth<br />

again {juto. acppov), and bruising him hardly departeth<br />

* a(j)p6g is used by Hippocrates and Aretaeus in describing<br />

the symptoms of epilepsy, which would seem, from St. Luke's<br />

and St. Mark's narrative, to have been the disease through<br />

which in this instance the devils exerted their power over<br />

this child. Hipp. Morb. Sac. 303 (Epilepsy) : Tjv Si a^pov<br />

uses avanvo-i]. iTvevjj,a is often used by the medical writers in conjunction<br />

with avaiTvuu and avairvoi], to signify the air or breath inhaled during the<br />

act of respiration, e. g. Hippocrates, Dieb. Judicat. 57 : avaTrvioov irovKv a.0p6ov<br />

Hippocrates sometimes loosely uses irvevfia for avairvo^, and Galen found it<br />

necessary to explain this at times in his commentaries on the works of Hippocrates:<br />

thus commenting on the Aphorism: iv ToTai irvperoTffi rh n-vev/xa rrpoffKOTTTOv<br />
