The flour [Note] of bolted meal, kneaded into a paste, has the
property of drawing [Note] out the humours of the body: hence it is applied to bruises gorged with blood, to extract the corrupt matter, even to soaking the bandages [Note] employed: used with boiled must, it is still more efficacious. It is used as an application also for callosities of the feet and corns; boiled with old oil and pitch, and applied as hot as possible, it cures condylomata and all other maladies of the fundament in a most surprising manner. Puls [Note] is a very feeding diet. The meal [Note] used for pasting the sheets of papyrus is given warm to patients for spitting of blood, and is found to be an effectual cure.
