Abstract
The paper analyzes grammatical and lexical ways of expressing medical instructions in Celsus’ treatise De medicina. The author examines and compares all occurrences of medical prescriptions in the text and comes to the following conclusions. Celsus uses various linguistic ways to express treatment recommendations, among which gerundive is the most frequent one. Adjectives and adverbs are used not only to introduce medical prescriptions, but also to characterize treatment methods. As for the verbs in the treatise, Celsus mostly uses the third person form, while the second person forms are not used at all.
