Considered as a valuable source for the doctrine of Diocles or Soranus, the 'Anonymus Bruxellensis' (Ps. Vindicianus, 'De semine') is more probably an important piece of testimony for the transmission of Hippocratism in Late Antiquity. Besides a rich doctrinal content, it reveals a remarquable stylistic capacity, by using a great variety of complex clauses, especially temporal clauses, particularly adapted to physiological process. A comparison with Hippocratic texts from 'De natura pueri' shows the importance of such constructions in the medical literature.
