A third kind of tithymalos is known by the additional name of "paralios," [Note] or else as "tithymalis." [Note] The leaf is round, the stem a palm in height, the branches red, and the seed white. This seed is gathered just as the grape is beginning to form, and is dried and pounded; being taken as a purgative, in doses of one acetabulum.
