Sapa, [Note] has a close affinity with wine, being nothing else
but must boiled down to one third: that which is prepared from white must is the best. It is used medicinally in cases of injuries inflicted by cantharides, the buprestis, [Note] the pinecaterpillars known as pityocampæ, [Note] salamanders, and all venomous bites and stings. Taken with onions it has the effect of bringing away the dead fœtus and the after-birth. According to Fabianus, it acts as a poison, if taken by a person fasting, immediately after the bath. [Note]
