Sudhoff's views of the tasks of medical historians in the field of the history of ancient medicine were influenced by the contemporary controversy between classical philologists and medical historians about their competence. On the one hand Sudhoff thought the philologic historical method to be the appropriate one for the investigation of the history of ancient medicine, on the other hand he did not think it to be indispensable for the medical historians. Their main task was in his eyes to publish new items from archaeological and literary sources, as he himself did.
苏德霍夫对古代医学史领域医学史家任务的看法，受到当时古典文献学家与医学史家之间关于各自能力的争论的影响。一方面，苏德霍夫认为文献历史方法是研究古代医学史的合适方法；另一方面，他并不认为这对医学史家来说是不可或缺的。在他看来，他们的主要任务是像他自己那样，从考古和文献资料中公布新的内容。
