I. IT is called in Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. in Latin, Tumor Cysticus; in English, the Cystick Tumor, or, Tumor contained in a Bag.
II. The Kinds. It is three∣fold, according to the threefold Matter contained in the Cystis, or Bag: viz. 1. When it is like unto Frumety, called in Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Pultis genere; in Latin, Athe∣roma. 2. When it is like unto Honey, called in Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; à 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Mel, & 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Cera; in Latin, Meliceris. 3. When it is like unto Suet, called in Greek, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, à 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Sebum seu Sevum; in Latin, Steatoma, Tumor sevosus.
III. They are all of them also called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Choeratodes; because they have some resem∣blance to that swine-like Disease the Scrophula; when contained in a Cystis or Bag.
IV. The Definition. Atheroma is a preternatural Tumor, con∣tained in a proper Cystis; caused from a Humor or Matter like to Frumety or Paste, made of boiled Barley or Wheat; of the colour of the Skin, without pain, hot easily yielding to the Fingers; nor when removed, suddenly swelling out again.
V. Sometimes in an Athero∣ma, there is mixt with the pultis∣like Matter, hard substances, and stony bodies; sometimes a sulphur-like substance, somtimes small Bones, matted Hair, and the like.
VI. Meliceris is a preternatu∣ral Tumor, contained in its own proper Cystis, proceeding from a honey-like Matter, of a white colour, painless, round, and easily yielding to the Fingers; which being removed, present∣ly returns again to its first figure.
VII. The Tumor in this, is greater than the former, its figure is rounder and higher, and the Humor thereof thinner.
VIII. Steatoma is a preter∣natural Tumor, contained in its proper Cystis, caused from a matter like to Suet, and of the same colour, and soft: it arises from a small beginning, in∣creases gradually and leisurely, difficultly yields to the Fingers; which being removed, it re∣turns again to its former magnitude.
IX. The Differences. How they differ one from another, the Signs aforegoing shew: but (says Bar∣bett) if the Matter of any of these Tumors is gathered together about the Joints, it is called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Ganglion: if about the Glandules of the Neck, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Choeratodes, Glan∣dula, Scrophula, or Struma: if
