Fic, Geps, masc, a disease known as ficus, 

 IvKri, '2,vKov, 'S.vKoiixa, 'S.vkuktis. In the 

 Lb. I. ii. 22, the disease " fig " is said to 

 be x^h'-^'^'-^^ ^ moisture in the skin en- 

 closing the eyes (Florio), but without 

 exactly negativing that statement we 

 must bend to an overwhelming weight 

 of testimony, and accept it as an excre- 

 scence like a fig with an ulcer, so called 

 from a fig bursting with fatness, " ficus 

 " hians prte pinguedine." It affects all 

 parts of the body which have hair, espe- 

 cially the eyebrows, beard, head, and 

 anus ; and it was sometimes called 

 marisca. Dioskor. i. 100 ; Pollux from

 stant technical use among mediaeval 

 medical writers. '• Contra ficum arden-

 " Contra ficum nomere facientem." MS. 

 Sloane, 146, fol. 28. Haemorrhoids are 

 ficblattern in the [H]ortus Sanitatis. In 

 Florios time (1611) fico in Italian had 

 been reduced to " a disease in a horses 

 "foot." Cotgrave (1673) has "fie, a 

 " certain scab, or hard, round, and red 

 " sore, in the fundament." " Fijck, 

 " tuberculum acutum cum dolore et 

 " inflammatione," (Kilian). It was a 

 running sore, Lb. I. xxxix. ; it was 

 equivalent to J^eopabl, Lb. I. ii. 22.

 Filb, Lb. I. Ixvii., with Filbcimib, Lb. III.

 drawn at one milking from how many cows

 milk, the evenings milk. In a dairy every 

 several milking is kept separate. ^
