[19] Lib. 2. +Hoti heteros aph' heterou, therapeias
anapimplamenoi, hosper ta probata ethneskon; kai ton pleiston phthoron
touto enepoiei; eite gar me theloien dediotes allelois prosienai,
apollunto eremoi, kai oikiai pollai ekenothesan aporia tou
therapeusantos; eite prosioien, diephtheironto, kai malista hoi aretes
ti metapoioumenoi.+ The beginning of this Passage, as it here stands,
though it is found thus in all the Editions of _Thucydides_, is
certainly faulty, +therapeias anapimplamenoi+ being no good
Sense. The Sentence I shall presently cite from _Aristotle_ shews that
this may be rectified only by removing the Comma after +heterou+,
and placing it after +therapeias+, for +prosanapimplemi+
in _Aristotle_ absolutely used signifies _to infect_. With this
Correction, the Sense of the Place will be as follows: _The People took
Infection by their Attendance on each other, dying like Folds of Sheep.
And this Effect of the Disease was the principal Cause of the great
Mortality: for either the Sick were left destitute, their Friends
fearing to approach them, by which means Multitudes of Families perished
without Assistance; or they infected those who relieved them, and
especially such, whom a Sense of Virtue and Honour obliged most to their
Duty._

The Sense here ascribed to the word +anapimplemi+ is confirmed
yet more fully by a Passage in _Livy_, where he describes the Infection
attending a Plague or Camp Fever, which infest
