It contains approximately 3,000 Greek words and 119,000 citations. Particularly rich is the vocabulary of plant names which sometimes defy identification. Dealing with terms from the fields of anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacy and surgery this book is essential for the study of medical Greek and will be of interest to both historians of ancient medicine and to classical philologists.
