- Translation
- ". . . and, (when wanted) for use, apply the medication to a piece of finest linen. It works wonderfully for ulcers and other conditions. For the affected parts of the body are healed by the application of the so-called "parygron", a medication not to be despised. 44 drachmas of fresh swine fat, that which they call "axunge", 24 drachmas of white wax, 6 drachmas of white lead, 6 drachmas of litharge. The melted soluble ingredients are combined with the powdered dry ingredients; and, in time, the medication will take on consistency. This plaster heals the affected parts of the body just as other similar medications . . ."
