v2.c33.350

228 Compare the views found in Greek medical literature. Some treatises of the Corpus Hippocraticum (for example, De Morbis I) do not distinguish between arteries and veins, which means that they are earlier than Praxagoras of Kos, who discovered the difference (see *C.R.S. Harris, 1973; R. Wittern, 1974: LXXVII–LXXIX).
