According to Nicander, sea-weed is also a theriac. [Note] There are numerous varieties of it, as already [Note] stated; one, for instance, with an elongated leaf, another red, another again with a broader leaf, and another crisped. The most esteemed kind of all is that which grows off the shores of Crete, upon the rocks there, close to the ground: it being used also for dyeing wool, as it has the property [Note] of so fixing the colours as never to allow of their being washed out. Nicander recommends it to be taken with wine.
