To extract pointed weapons which have pierced the flesh, ashes of calcined shells of the sæpia are used, as also of the
purple, the meat of salted fish, bruised river-crabs, or flesh of the silurus [Note] (a river-fish that is found in other streams as well as the Nilus [Note]), applied either fresh or salted. The ashes also of this fish, as well as the fat, have the property of extracting pointed bodies, and the back-bone, in a calcined state, is used as a substitute for spodium. [Note]
