Rh Let those who suffer apparitions eat lion’s flesh: they will not after that suffer any apparitions. Against sore of sinews and of knee-joints, take a lion’s suet and a hart’s marrow, melt [them] and mingle [them] together; smear therewith the sore of the body: it will soon be whole.

Against the dwelling [by one] of snakes and for their removal, scatter a bull’s horn burnt to ashes where the snakes dwell; they will flee away. Mingle a bull’s gall with field-bees’ honey against obscurity and darkness of the eyes; put [it] upon the eyes: it cures wonderfully. Against a burn caused by water or fire, burn a bull’s dung and shed [it] thereon. Ad concubitum perficiendum, sume testiculos tauri siccatos in pulveremque redactos, aut eosdem in vino comminue et crebris [ille] haustibus ebibat [qui hoc philtro indiget]: ita promptior ad vererem erit atque citatior.

Against any spot, to take it from the body, take ivory pounded with honey and applied: it removes the spots wonderfully. Against all sores, if thou in the early part of summer takest for food any whelp, being then still blind, thou shalt not feel any sore. To make teeth grow without pain, a hound’s molar tooth burnt and rubbed small and applied extinguishes swellings of tooth-rooms.
