Ill of his leg

I �ve come across this phrase:
he was ill of his leg.
Is it correct?
Thanks.

I suppose he could be sick of his leg, but even that seems to be a stretch. "Sick of" is, of course, an idiom meaning the same as "tired of" but stronger. We would never use "ill of" as a substitute. He could conceivably be sick of his trick knee. |

Good thinking, Moody! It must be a mistranslation of �sick of �. |
