24.84 CHAP. 84.—THE CHAMÆCISSOS: ONE REMEDY.

The chamæcissos [Note] has ears like [Note] those of wheat, with numerous leaves, and small branches, about five in number. When in blossom it might almost be taken for the white violet: the root of it is diminutive. For sciatica, the leaves of it are taken, seven days consecutively, in doses of three oboli, in two cyathi of wine: this is a very bitter potion, however.
