The Veterinary Medicine of Chiron (Mulomedicina Chironis)

frequently uses proper and correct forms, which we will consider to have been unjustly driven away by the others.

It is hardly necessary to say that in very many places e is written for ae, most often in the final syllables of words of the first declension, and then in sepe and hec.

Nor rarely did he write y for i:

A in Greek words:

annacolyma 26 21 28 2, Chyronium 219 4, chyrurgiam 21 21, chyrurgia 21 22, coelyaco 130 2 133 26, coelyacum ibid., dyastima passim, epylampadium 213 27, epyploce 13 3, yctero 89 28, ydiotae 62 12, lychene 57 16, perytoneum 123 20, synapem 264 13, tysane passim.

B in Latin words:

cybum 169 10, cybo 181 25, cybaria 172 17, cycatrix 23 22 34 15, cycatricis 174 20, cyrros 193 13, hy (= hi) passim, hyems 128 29, yems 81 6 192 19, yemis 219 10, yeme 80 30 195 14, hyberno 182 23 208 27 213 15 230 27, yemalis 289 25, hylarem 55 25, yrcino 203 4, yrcinum 203 7 210 25, hyrundinis 248 11, yrundinum 98 1, yrundininis 98 2, ydeo 148 24, ydoneus 232 24, ylia passim, ylicis 133 23, yris 297 20, ytalos 283 14, ytalici 272 32 34 273 7, ytalice 272 34, ytalicum 272 8 273 10 274 20, scyllam 163 12 239 7, sydore 101 12, tybia 18 7, tyliagineis 192 7.

You see that in hiems, hiemalis, hircinus, the h is omitted wrongly, to which is added edinum p. 61 9 for haedinum.

He aspirated the letter h badly and frequently:

habundare passim, habundatione 90 12
herbum for ervum everywhere
honera 47 5 207 4, honerum 118 27, honerant 205 22, honeratio 9 18, honeratione 48 14
adhures 16 24 135 20, adhuratur 263 3, adhustionem 19 21
cohyre 31 30, quohire 32 2 (cf. p. XXV), trahicere
