Abstract :
[fr] Depuis quand et dans quel(s) contexte(s) le substantif στίμμι (ou στῖμι ou στῖβι) désignant une substance de couleur noire dont le nom est d'origine égyptienne, et le verbe στιμμίζειν (ou στιμίζειν ou στιβίζειν, ainsi que le composé ὑποστιμμίζειν) décrivant son application dans la région des yeux, sont-ils attestés dans les écrits médicaux grecs et quelle(s) substance(s) désignent-ils ? C'est à ces questions que l'on s'est efforcé de répondre en relevant en outre les justifications thérapeutiques de l'utilisation du stimmi par les médecins. [en] When and in which context were the noun στίμμι (or στῖμι or στῖβι) — a word of Egyptian origin designating a black substance — and the verb στιμμίζειν (or στιμίζειν or στιβίζειν, as well as the compound ὑποστιμμίζειν), which describes its application to the eye area, first appear in Greek medical texts? Which substance(s) do these words refer to? These are the questions that this paper tries to answer, by examining the therapeutic justifications of the use of stimmi by doctors.
