A.

Achates. Achates.

• P. It is found in Achates, a river of Sicilie, and in Crete, &c.
• M. It's of thinner juyce, and like the Iasper.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Passhachates. Cerachates. Sardochates. Haemachates.

ACates. Caes. K. as the black, coral like, Indian, and that of Crete. T. V. Plin. it helps against the stinging of scorpions: so Matth. Ru. Myl. as also the bitings of spiders. Myl. it helps the bitings of serpents. Ru. Albert. it resisteth pestiferous poyson. Plin. Matth. Albert. Ru. the sight thereof helpeth the eyes, and held in the mouth it quencheth thirst. Plin. Matth. That of one colour causeth audacity. Albert. Mag. Myl. being layed under the head, it causeth variety of dreames. Ru. it animates to overcome dangers.

Amethist. T. Alcas. is of an attracting nature. V. Arist. applied to the navill, it first draweth the vapours of wine unto it selfe, and then discusseth them, and therefore defendeth those that use it from drunkenness and surfeiting; also it's good against out∣ward injuries, and others say that it driveth away evill cogitations, and whetteth the wit, and that it causeth vigilance and amity, it's used for many other superstitious uses not worthy to be related: so Rueus: C. The best are the purple, shining, and sparkling. Myl. it causeth quietness in him that useth it. it resisteth poyson and is an amulet, driveth vapours from the head, and hindreth sleep: it helps against raging, and makes fruitfull.
