    Annotation:

    The work entitled Peri; diafora'" tw'n sfugmw'n, On the differences of the pulses, is interesting from two points of view: It explains different types of pulses according to Galen and synthesizes the theories of other Greek doctors from before his time. He defines many concepts with scant concern for proper terminology since he considers it to be a sophistic deviation to disscuss the words used and not the medical facts. Galen's work establishes the erroneous hypothesis that cardiac and arterial movements are simultaneous.
