Bubonic

The oldest of the ancient doctors call what is translated into Arabic by the word taun bubo, any tumor in organs with glandular meat and in empty places, whether they are sensitive organs, for example, glandular meat in the testicles, on the female breast and at the root of the tongue, or insensitive , like glandular meat under the armpits, in the groins and the like. Later, this name began to be given to a tumor, which is also hot, and even later, a hot tumor, which is at the same time fatal, was called this way, and, finally, this name began to be given to any tumor that kills due to the transition of a matter substance into a poisonous one, causing rotting of the organ and changes the color of the area adjacent to it. Sometimes such a tumor exudes blood, pus, and the like and imparts a bad quality to the heart through the arteries, causing vomiting, interruptions and fainting, and when these phenomena intensify, they kill. It seems that it was these latter tumors that the ancients called fumata. Such a deadly tumor, of necessity, should most often arise in weak organs, for example, under the arms, in the groins, behind the ear; the worst of them are those in the groins and behind the ear, since they are close to the most important organs. The most prosperous buboes are red, then yellow, and no one is saved from blackish buboes. Buboes often appear during pestilence and in areas affected by pestilence.

We have seen Greek names for things that look like buboes, such as turfiturus, fumata, bumachila, bubus, but in our opinion there is not much difference between the tumors that are so called.
