PREFACE.
rriHE words and phrases cited in this work are
^ either j^eculiar to the third Gospel and the
Acts of the Apostles, or else, though not peculiar
to them, are for the most part more frequentlyemployed
in these writings than in those of the
other N. T.
authors.
The extant Greek medical writers
from whom
the examples of the medical use of such words are
taken are Hippocrates, b. c. 460-357 ; Aretaeus,
who lived in the first century after Christ, probably
in the reign of Nero or Vespasian ; Galen, a. d.
130-200; and Dioscorides, who lived in the first
or second century of the Christian era.
The edition of these writers quoted is that of
Kiihn (Leipsic 1821—30).
Hippocrates is quoted by
the Sections of Foesius ; Aretaeus, by those of the
Ed. Oxon., both of which are given in Kiihn
Dioscorides, by the usual division of chapters.
