ποιεῖ καὶ πρὸς φλεγμονὰς καὶ σκληρίας 2 ὑστέρας τὸ μὴ δυσῶδες μηδὲ παλαιόν, καὶ πρὸς δυσεντερίας καὶ πρὸς κόλου ἕλκωσιν ἐγκλυζόμενον, πυοποιοῖς τε μείγνυται χρησίμως, καὶ μάλιστα ἐπὶ τῶν κατὰ τὰ νεῦρα καὶ μήνιγγας καὶ κύστεως τράχηλον τραυμάτων· τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ πληροῖ καὶ καθαίρει καὶ σαρκοῖ, καὶ τοὺς ὑπὸ ἀσπίδος δηχθέντας ἐπιτιθέμενον ὠφελεῖ, μείγνυται δὲ καὶ προσοψήμασιν ἀντὶ ἐλαίου τὸ νεαρὸν καὶ ἐν τοῖς πέμμασιν ἀντὶ στέατος.
