² But now see the important article by Smith, W. D., ‘Galen on Coans versus Cnidians’, Bulletin of the history of medicine, xlvii (1973), 569–85Google Scholar, which casts serious doubt on whether or not Galen's evidence substantiates the existence of rival schools on Cos and Cnidus in the 6th/5th centuries b.c.

³ Trapp, Heiga, ‘Die hippokratische Schrift DE NATURA MULIEBRI. Ausgabe und textkritischer Kommentar’ (University of Hamburg Ph.D. dissertation, 1967), pp. 28–56Google Scholar, convincingly argues that the treatise Nature of women is largely a rewriting of material from Diseases of women and Sterile women, with a concentration on therapeutic techniques. Much of the material cited as coming from Nature of women is found in Diseases of women. For example, in footnote 314, Nature of women, c. 98 was taken from Diseases of women I, c. 76.
