Incipit: “ὁ βίος βραχύς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρά....”

(Perhaps obvious but in the interest of completeness:)Hippocrates’ aphorisms are marked as κείμενον in the margins whereas Theophilus’ explanations are labeled διήγησις.

Each κείμενον and διήγησις begins with an ornamental capital.

Sections are marked with a small decorative header.
