Our aphorism for the "Übergangszeit":

ἐν τῇσιν ὥρῃσιν, ὅταν τῆς αὐτῆς ἡμέρης ὁτὲ μὲν θάλπος, ὁτὲ δὲ ψῦχος γένηται, φθινοπωρινὰ τὰ νουσήματα προσδέχεσθαι χρή. (III.4)

"When during the seasons there is now heat, then cold on the same day, one must expect diseases to be autumnal."

The existence of bacteria was first reported #OnThisDay in AD 1683 by Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, leading to his moniker 'the Father of Microbiology'.
This was especially important for a period when the urban population was growing and sanitation struggling to keep up 1/2

We are used to think of sleep as the best way to recover during an illness. A Hippocratic doctor responds:

ἐν ᾧ νοσήματι ὕπνος πόνον ποιέει, θανάσιμον: ἢν δὲ ὕπνος ὠφελέῃ, οὐ θανάσιμον. (II.1)

"If sleep during an illness causes distress, it is deadly; but if sleep is beneficial, it is not deadly."

This month's aphorisms (reflecting the discussions in the Kolloquium):

ἁ δεῖ ἄγειν, ὅκου ἂν μάλιστα Ρ῾έπῃ, ταύτῃ ἄγειν, διὰ τῶν ξυμφερόντων χωρίων. (I. 21).

What needs to be evacuated must be evacuated in the direction to which they mostly tend, through the appropriate passages

Transalpine connections likely go back much further than people think!

Excavation of an Iron Age glass workshop in Moravia indicates Central European trade and industry connected the Baltic with the Adriatic as early as the Middle La Tène period.

Summer has arrived or has it? This month's aphorism:

Within the seasons, when on the same day there is now heat, then cold, one has to expect diseases of autumn.

ἐν τῇσιν ὥρῃσιν, ὅταν τῆς αὐτῆς ἡμέρης ὁτὲ μὲν θάλπος, ὁτὲ δὲ ψῦχος γένηται, φθινοπωρινὰ τὰ νουσήματα προσδέχεσθαι χρή. (III.4).
