the　liquid　（stacte）　or　otherwise。　The　finest　kind　is　to　be　levigated
and　moistened　by　having　a　small　quantity　of　the　same　wine　poured　on
it；　and　then　the　myrrh　is　to　be　boiled　by　itself；　stirring　it　in　the
wine；　and　when　it　appears　to　have　attained　the　proper　degree　of
thickness；　it　is　to　be　poured　into　the　juice　of　the　unripe　grape；
and　the　finest　natron　is　to　be　toasted；　and　gently　added　to　the
medicine；　along　with　a　smaller　quantity　of　the　flowers　of　copper　（flos
aeris）　than　of　the　natron。　When　you　have　mixed　these　things；　boil
for　not　less　than　three　days；　on　a　gentle　fire　made　with　fuel　of　the
fig…tree　or　with　coals；　lest　it　catch　fire。　The　applications　should
all　be　free　from　moisture；　and　the　sores　should　not　be　wetted　when
this　medicine　is　applied　in　the　form　of　liniment。　This　medicine　is
to　be　used　for　old　ulcers；　and　also　for　recent　wounds　of　the　glans
penis；　and　ulcers　on　the　head　and　ears。　Another　medicine　for　the
same　ulcers：…The　dried　gall　of　an　ox；　the　finest　honey；　white　wine；　in
which　the　shavings　of　the　lotus　have　been　boiled；　frankincense；　of
myrrh　an　equal　part；　of　saffron　an　equal　part；　the　flowers　of
copper；　in　like　manner　of　liquids；　the　greatest　proportion　of　wine；
next　of　honey；　and　least　of　the　gall。　Another：…Wine；　a　little　cedar
honey；　of　dried　things；　the　flowers　of　copper；　myrrh；　dried
pomegranate　rind。　Another：…Of　the　roasted　flower　of　copper　half　a
drachm；　of　myrrh　two　half…drachms；　of　saffron　three　drachms；　of
honey　a　small　quantity；　to　be　boiled　with　wine。　Another：…Of
frankincense　a　drachm；　of　gall　a　drachm；　of　saffron　three　drachms；　let
each　of　these　be　dried　and　finely　levigated；　then；　having　mixed；
triturate　in　a　very　strong　sun；　pouring　in　the　juice　of　an　unripe
grape；　until　it　become　of　a　gelatinous　consistence；　for　three　days；
then　let　them　be　allowed　to　macerate　in　an　austere；　dark…colored；
fragrant　wine；　which　is　gradually　poured　upon　them。　Another：…Boil
the　roots　of　the　holmoak　in　sweet　white　wine；　and　when　it　appears　to
be　properly　done；　having　poured　off　two　parts　of　the　wine；　and　of
the　lees　of　wine　as　free　of　water　as　possible　one　part；　then　boil；
stirring　it；　so　that　it　may　not　be　burnt；　at　a　gentle　fire；　until　it
appear　to　have　attained　the　proper　consistence。　Another：…The　other
things　are　to　be　the　same；　but；　not　withstanding；　instead　of　the　wine；
use　the　strongest　white　vinegar；　and　dip　into　it　wool　as　greasy　as　can
be　procured；　and　then；　moistening　it　with　the　lees　of　oil；　boil；　and
pour　in　the　juice　of　the　wild　fig…tree；　and　add　Melian　alum；　and
natron；　and　the　flowers　of　copper；　both　toasted。　This　cleanses　the
ulcers　better　than　the　former；　but　the　other　is　no　less　desiccant。
Another：…Dip　the　wool　in　a　very　little　water；　and　then；　having　added　a
third　part　of　wine；　boil　until　it　attain　the　proper　consistence。　By
these；　recent　ulcers　are　most　speedily　prevented　from　getting　into　a
state　of　suppuration。

　　6。　Another：…Sprinkle　on　it　dried　wakerobin；　and　add　the　green　bark
of　the　fig…tree；　pounding　it　in　the　juice：　do　this　with　or　without
wine；　and　along　with　honey。　Another：…Boiling　the　shavings　of　lotus
with　vinegar　（the　vinegar　should　be　white）；　then　mix　the　lees　of　oil
and　raw　tar…water；　and　use　it　as　a　liniment　or　wash；　and　bandage
above。　These　things　in　powder　prevent　recent　wounds　from
suppurating；　or　they　may　be　used　for　cleansing　the　sore　along　with
vinegar；　or　for　sponging　with　wine。

　　7。　Another：…Sprinkle　（on　the　sore？）　lead　finely　triturated　with
the　recrement　of　copper；　and　sprinkle　on　it；　also；　the　shavings　of
lotus；　and　the　scales　of　copper；　and　alum；　and　chalcitis；　with　copper；
both　alone；　and　with　the　shavings　of　lotus。　And　otherwise；　when　it
is　wanted　to　use　these　in　a　dry　state；　do　it　with　the　Illyrian
spodos　triturated　with　the　shavings；　and　with　the　shavings　alone。
And　the　flowers　of　silver　alone；　in　the　finest　powder；　and
birthwort；　when　scraped　and　finely　pounded；　may　be　sprinkled　on　the
part。　Another；　for　bloody　sores　myrrh；　frankincense；　galls；
verdigris　the　roasted　flower　of　copper；　Egyptian　alum　roasted；　vine
flowers；　grease　of　wool；　plumbago；　each　of　these　things　is　to　be
diluted；　in　equal　proportions；　with　wine　like　the　former。　And　there　is
another　preparation　of　the　same：…The　strongest　vinegar　of　a　white
color；　honey；　Egyptian　alum；　the　finest　natron；　having　toasted　these
things　gently；　pour　in　a　little　gall；　this　cleanses　fungous　ulcers；
renders　them　hollow；　and　is　not　pungent。　Another：…The　herb　with　the
small　leaves；　which　gets　the　name　of　Parthenium　parviflorum；　and　is
used　for　removing　thymia　（warts？）　from　the　glans　penis；　alum；
chalcitis；　a　little　crude　Melian　alum　（？）；　sprinkle　a　little　dried
elaterium；　and　a　little　dried　pomegranate　rind　in　like　manner。

　　8。　The　herb　which　has　got　the　name　of　lagopyrus；　fills　up　hollow　and
clean　ulcers；　（when　dried　it　resembles　wheat；　it　has　a　small　leaf　like
that　of　the　olive；　and　more　long；）　and　the　leaf　of　horehound；　with
oil。　Another：…The　internal　fatty　part；　resembling　honey；　of　a　fig　much
dried；　of　water　two　parts；　of　linseed　not　much　toasted　and　finely
levigated；　one　part。　Another：…Of　the　dried　fig；　of　the　flower　of
copper　levigated　a　little；　and　the　juice　of　the　fig。　The　preparation
from　dried　fig：…The　black　chamaeleon；　the　dried　gall　of　an　ox；　the
other　things　the　same。　Of　the　powders：…Of　the　slender　cress　in　a　raw
state；　of　horehound；　of　each　equal　parts；　of　the　dried　fig；　two　parts；
of　linseed；　two　parts；　the　juice　of　the　fig。　When　you　use　any　of　these
medicines；　apply　above　it　compresses　wetted　in　vinegar；　apply　a　sponge
about　the　compresses　and　make　a　If　the　surrounding　parts　be　in　an
inflamed　state；　apply　to　them　any　medicine　which　may　appear　suitable。

　　9。　If　you　wish　to　use　a　liquid　application；　the　medicine　called
caricum　may　be　rubbed　in；　and　the　bandages　may　be　applied　as
formerly　described　upon　the　same　principle。　The　medicine　is　prepared
of　the　following　ingredients：…Of　black　hellebore；　of　sandarach；　of　the
flakes　of　copper；　of　lead　washed；　with　much　sulphur；　arsenic；　and
cantharides。　This　may　be　compounded　so　as　may　be　judged　most　proper；
and　it　is　to　be　diluted　with　oil　of　juniper。　When　enough　has　been
rubbed　in；　lay　aside　the　medicine；　and　apply　boiled　wakerobin　in　a
soft　state；　either　rubbing　it　in　dry；　or　moistening　it　with　honey。　But
if　you　use　the　caricum　in　a　dry　state；　you　must　abstain　from　these
things；　and　sprinkle　the　medicine　on　the　sore。　The　powder　from
hellebore　and　sandarach　alone　answers。　Another　liquid　medicine：…The
herb；　the　leaf　of　which　resembles　the　arum　（wakerobin）　in　nature；
but　is　white；　downy；　of　the　size　of　the　ivy…leaf：　this　herb　is　applied
with　wine；　or　the　substance　which　forms　upon　the　branches　of　the　ilex；
when　pounded　with　wine；　is　to　be　applied。　Another：…The　juice　of　the
grape；　the　strongest　vinegar；　the　flower　of　copper；　natron；　the
juice　of　the　wild　fig…tree。　Alum；　the　most　finely　levigated；　is　to
be　put　into　the　juice　of　the　wild　grape；　and　it　is　to　be　put　into　a
red　bronze　mortar　and　stirred　in　the　sun；　and　removed　when　it
appears　to　have　attained　proper　consistence。

　　10。　These　are　other　powders：…Black　hellebore；　as　finely　levigated　as
possible；　is　to　be　sprinkled　on　the　sore　while　any　humidity　remains
about　it；　and　while　it　continues　to　spread。　The　bandaging　is　the
same　as　when　plasters　are　used。　Another；　in　like　manner：…The　driest
lumps　of　salt　are　to　be　put　into　a　copper；　or　earthen　pot；　of　equal
size；　as　much　as　possible；　and　not　large；　and　the　finest　honey；　of
double　the　size　of　the　salt；　as　far　as　can　be　guessed；　is　to　be　poured
upon　the　lumps　of　salt；　then　the　vessel　is　to　be　put　upon　coals　and
allowed　to　sit　there　until　the　whole　is　consumed。　Then；　having　sponged
the　ulcer　and　cleansed　it；　bandage　it　as　before；　and　compress　it　a
little　more。　Next　day；　wherever　the　medicine　has　not　been　taken　in；
sprinkle　it　on；　press　it　down；　and　bandage。　But　when　you　wish　to
remove　the　medicine；　pour　in　hot　vinegar　until　it　separate；　and
again　do　the　same　things；　sponging　it　away；　if　necessary。　Another
corrosive　powder：…Of　the　most　finely…levigated　misy；　sprinkle　upon　the
moist　and　gangrenous　parts；　and　a　little　of　the　flower　of　copper；
not　altogether　levigated。　Another　powder　equally　corrosive：…Having
sponged　the　ulcer；　burn　the　most　greasy　wool　upon　a　shell　placed　on
the　fire　until　the　whole　be　consumed；　having　reduced　this　to　a　fine
powder；　and　sprinkled　it　on　the　sore；　apply　the　bandage　in　the　same
manner。　Another　powder　for　the　same　ulcers：…The　black　chamaeleon；　when
prepared　with　the　juice　of　the　fig。　It　is　to　be　prepared　roasted；
and　alkanet　mixed　with　it。　Or；　pimpernel；　and　Egyptian　alum　roasted；
and　sprinkle　on　them　the　Orchomenian　powder。　For　spreading
ulcers：…Alum；　both　the　Egyptian　roasted；　and　the　Melian；　but　the
part　is　to　be　first　cleansed　with　roasted　natron　and　sponged；　and
the　species　of　alum　called　chalcitis　roasted。　It　is　to　be　roasted
until　it　catch　fire。

　　11。　For　old　ulcers　which　occur　on　the　fore　part　of　the　legs；　they
become　bloody　and　black：…Having　pounded　the　flower　of　the　melilot
and　mixed　it　with　honey；　use　as　a　plaster。　For　nerves　（tendons？）　which
have　been　cut　asunder：…Having　pounded；　sifted；　and　mixed　with　oil
the　roots　of　the　wild　myrtle；　bind　on　the　part；　and　the　herb
cinquefoil　（it　is　white　and　downy；　and　more　raised　above　the　ground
than　the　black　cinquefoil）；　having　pounded　this　herb　in　oil　bind　it　on
the　part；　and　then　remove　it　on　the　third　day。

　　12。　Emollients　（？）：…These　medicines　are　to　be　used　in　winter
rather　than　in　summer。　Emollient　medicines　which　make　the　cicatrices
fair：…Pound　the　inner　mucous　part　of　the　squill　and　pitch；　with
fresh　swine's　seam；　and　a　little　oil；　and　a　little　resin；　and
ceruse。　And　the　grease　of　a　goose；　fresh　swine's　seam；　and　squill；　and
a　little　oil。　The　whitest　wax；　fresh　clean　grease；　or　squill　and　white
oil；　and　a　little　resin。　Wax；　swine's　seam　（old　and　fresh）；　and　oil；
and　verdigris；　and　squill　and　resin。　Let　there　be　two　parts　of　the　old
grease　to　the　fresh；　and　of　the　other　things；　q。　s。　Having　melted
the　grease　that　is　fresh；　pour　it　into　another　pot；　having　levigated
plumbago　finely　and　sifted　it；　and　mixed　them　together；　boil　and
