The pericarpum is a kind of bulbous plant. There are two varieties of it; one with a red [Note] outer coat, and the other, [Note]
similar in appearance to the black poppy, and possessed of greater virtues than the first. They are both, however, of a warming nature, for which reason they are administered to persons who have taken hemlock, a poison for which frankincense and panaces are used, chironion [Note] in particular. This last, too, is given in cases of poisoning by fungi.
