1829, Thomas Curtis (editor), The London Encyclopaedia: or, Universal Dictionary of Science, Art, Literature, And Practical Mechanics, Volume I: A to America, If the ægilops be accompanied with an inflammation, it is supposed to take its rise from the abundance of blood, which a plethoric habit discharges on the corner of the eye.
If the ægilops be neglected, it bursts, and degenerates into a fistula, which eats into the bone.
The ægilops is an apostematous swelling between the great canthus and the nose ; and it is an affection difficult to cure, owing to the thinness of the bodies, and the fear of injuring the eye by sympathy.
