32 κίκινον ἔλαιον σκευάζεται τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ· λαβὼν ὡρίμων κροτώνων ὅσον ἂν δόξῃ καὶ ψύξας εἰς ἥλιον καταστρώσας θειλοπέδου τρόπον, ἕως ἂν ὁ περικείμενος φλοιὸς ἀπορραγεὶς ἐκπέσῃ, συναγαγὼν τὴν σάρκα ἔμβαλε εἰς ὅλμον καὶ κόψας ἐπιμελῶς εἰς λέβητα κεκασσιτερωμένον βάλε ὕδωρ ἔχοντα καὶ ἀνάβρασον ὑποκαίων. ὅταν δὲ ἀνῶσι τὴν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὑγρότητα πᾶσαν, ἄρας τὸν λέβητα ἀπὸ τοῦ πυρὸς ἀπόψα μύακι τὸ ἐπιπλέον ἔλαιον καὶ ἀποτίθεσο.
