1.4 […] as one reckons a thing with an oipe measure. Examining is like reckoning any thing with an oipe measure. Counting something on the fingers serves to
1.5 [know …]. For measuring a thing with an oipe measure […] and reckoning an ailment by it is like examining a man's ailment to
1.6 know the movement of the heart. Vessels run from it to every part of the body. As for the parts on which the priests of Sekhmet and every physician place their hands, their fingers—
1.7 on the head, the back of the head, the hands, the region of the heart, the legs—it is for the heart that he examines them. For its vessels lie behind, at the place of the heart. For
1.8 it speaks at the front of every vessel of every bodily part. He speaks of “examining” when he [places] his [hands] on the vessels of the man's head, the back of his head, and his legs. […]
1.9 [He examines the vessels of] his heart to learn the signs arising there. He says it is examined to learn what happens there. As for “though the lips
1.10 of his wound ache”: it means that his wound is small, not broad, with neither lip gaping away from the other. As for “reaches the [bone
1.11 of the skull without gaping]”: it means the flesh has parted, yet this [wound …] over the bone of his skull does not gape, with neither
1.12 lip apart from the other; it is small, not broad. Knowledge of a [gaping] wound in his [head] reaching the bone. If you examine a man with a [gaping] wound [in
1.13 his head] reaching the bone, place your hand upon it and explore his wound. If you find his skull [intact],
1.14 with no fissure or hole in it, say of him: “A man with a gaping wound in his head: an ailment I will treat.” Bind it
1.15 with fresh flesh on the first day. Apply two linen bandages. Then tend him daily with oil, honey, and lint until he is well. As for “a [gaping] wound [in
1.16 his head] reaching the bone”: […] his wound. As for “two linen bandages”: these are two bandages [of
1.17 linen] placed along both lips of the gaping wound so that one touches the other. As for “there is no fissure or hole [in it]”: […]
1.18 […]. Knowledge of a gaping wound in his head reaching the bone, piercing his skull.
1.19 If you examine a man with a gaping wound in his head reaching the bone, his skull pierced, explore his wound. You find
1.20 him unable to look toward his shoulders and chest, suffering stiffness in his neck. Then say of him: “A man with a gaping wound
1.21 in his head reaching the bone, his skull pierced, suffering stiffness in his neck: an ailment I will treat.” As for […]:
1.22 [fresh flesh on the first day] upon his wound. Do not bind him. Let him be laid upon the ground
1.23 on his bed until the crisis of his illness passes. Then tend him daily with oil, honey, and lint until he is well.
1.24 As for “[…] his skull”: a small fracture, for he has a fracture like a crack in a pot. […]
1.25 […], which he has sustained. As for “he cannot look toward his shoulders and his chest”:

1.1 […] Then you say about him: “A man with a wound on his head, though the edges of his wound hurt […],
1.2 without a gap, and yet it reaches the bone of his skull: a condition I will treat.” Then bandage the wound with fresh meat
1.3 on the first day. Afterward, treat him daily with oil, honey, and plant fiber until he feels better. “Examine a man” means to assess a particular person.
1.4 […] like counting something with a measuring vessel. Examining is like measuring anything with a vessel. Counting something on the fingers is done to
1.5 [know …]. For measuring an object with a vessel […] is like counting an ailment with it, just as you examine a man's ailment to
1.6 [learn] the movement of the heart. Vessels run from it to every part of the body. When the priests of Sekhmet or any doctor place their hands and fingers
1.7 on the head, back of the head, hands, over the heart, or legs, they examine the heart. For its vessels are at the back, at the place of the heart. And
1.8 [it speaks] at the front of each vessel of every body part. “Examine” refers to [placing] his [hands] on the vessels of his head, the back of his head, and his legs. […]
1.9 [the vessels of] his heart, to learn the signs that appear there. He says it is examined to learn what has happened there. As for “the edges of his wound hurt”:
1.10 it means his wound is small, not wide, and its two edges do not gape apart. As for “reaches the [bone]
1.11 of the skull without gaping,” it means the flesh gapes open, but the wound […] over his skull bone does not gape apart,
1.12 one edge from the other. It is small, not wide. Examination of a [gaping] wound on his [head] reaching the bone. If you examine a man with a [gaping] wound [on]
1.13 his [head] reaching the bone, place your hand on it. Feel his wound. If you find his skull [intact],
1.14 with [no] split or hole in it, say about him: “A man with a [gaping] wound on his head: a condition I will treat.” Bandage it with
1.15 [fresh] meat on the [first] day. Apply a pair of linen bandages. Afterward, treat him daily with oil, honey, and plant fiber until he feels better. As for “a [gaping] wound [on]
1.16 his [head] reaching [the bone]”: […] his wound. The pair of linen bandages means two strips of
1.17 [linen placed] on both edges of the gaping wound to make one edge touch the other. As for “there is no split or hole [in it]”: […]
1.18 […] Examination of a gaping wound in his head reaching the bone, with his skull pierced.
1.19 If you examine a man with a gaping wound on his head reaching the bone, with his skull pierced, feel his wound. You find
1.20 that he cannot look at his shoulders or chest and that his neck is stiff. Then say about him: “A man with a gaping wound
1.21 on his head reaching the bone, with his skull pierced and his neck stiff: a condition I will treat.” As for […],
