Third day. General exacerbation; oblong tightnessThe word ὑπολάπαρος is often applied to σύντασις or ἔντασις of the hypochondria. Galen (see Littré on Epidemics III, Case II, Vol. III, p. 34) says that it means without bulk, or without swelling. This is possible if the word is etymologically connected with λαπάζω. The translators are not very precise. Littré has sans beaucoup de rénitence, sans tumeur, sans gonflement, sans grand gonflement; Adams has empty, loose, softish. In Epidemics I, Case XII, occurs the phrase φλεγμονὴ ὑπολάπαρος ἐκ τοῦ ἔσω μέρεος, from which it seems that the prefix ὑπο- means underneath, not rather. Empty underneath seems the primary meaning, and suggests a tightness, or inflammation, with nothing hard and bulky immediately beneath the surface to cause the tightness or inflammation. Perhaps the word also suggests the tenderness often found in the hypochoudria of malaria patients. of the hypochondrium, soft underneath, extending on both sides to the navel; stools thin, blackish ; urine turbid, blackish; no sleep at night; much rambling, laughter, singing; no power of restraining himself.
