The knowledge of the Byzantine physicians in the field of otorhinolaryngology and especially of the eminent ones, Oribasius, Aetius of Ameda, Paul of Aegina and Alexander of Tralles is noteworthy. They knew an adequate number of diseases of the ear, nose and throat and treated them with a plethora of drugs and some of them, especially tonsillitis and tonsillar abscess, with operations. The writer, based on the texts of the Byzantine historians and chroniclers, presents information previously unknown. This includes analysis of cases of an epidemic of angina, speech defects, instances of otitis, epistaxis, ulcer of the mouth, acute laryngitis or pharyngitis and psychogenic aphonia. Most cases concern emperors and other prominent figures of the State and Church. This information complements, from the historical point of view, the scientific knowledge of the medical writers in the field of otorhinolaryngology.
拜占庭医生在耳鼻喉科学领域的知识，尤其是杰出医生奥里巴西乌斯、阿梅达的埃提乌斯、埃伊纳岛的保罗和特拉勒斯的亚历山大的知识，值得关注。他们了解相当数量的耳鼻喉疾病，并用大量药物进行治疗，其中一些疾病，尤其是扁桃体炎和扁桃体脓肿，采用手术治疗。作者基于拜占庭历史学家和编年史家的文本，呈现了此前未知的信息。这包括对心绞痛流行病例、言语缺陷、中耳炎、鼻出血、口腔溃疡、急性喉炎或咽炎以及心因性失音病例的分析。大多数病例涉及皇帝和国家与教会的其他重要人物。从历史角度来看，这些信息补充了医学作家在耳鼻喉科学领域的科学知识。
