Ἡ ὑστέρη τῇσι γυναιξὶ ὑμένων ἀποτάσιας ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα κατὰ λαγόνας ἴσχει, ἀτὰρ ἠδὲ ζῴου πάθη ἐν ὀσφρήσι · ἴεται γὰρ ἐπὶ τοῖσι εὐώδεσι πρὸς ἡδονὴν, καὶ τὰ κάκοσμα καὶ ἀτερπέα ὑπὸ ἀχθηδόνος φεύγει. ἢν μὲν ὦν τῶν ἄνω τι λυπῇ, πρόεισι γυναικηΐων ἔξω.all the commentators are agreed that the common reading, προσιόντων, cannot stand. I have followed Ermerins in adopting a conjectural emendation suggested by Petit in part. ὧν δὲ κατὰ στόματι ἂν εἴη, ὀπίσω χάζεται ἠδὲ ἄνω· ἴῃ δʼ ἄν ποτε καὶ ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα ποτὶ σπλῆνα καὶ ἧπαρ· ξυνδιδοῖ δὲ τὰ ὑμένια ἐς ἀπόστασιν καὶ ξυναγωγὴν, ὅκως νηὸς λαίφεα.
