76 στέαρ πρὸς μὲν τὰ περὶ μήτραν ἁρμόζει τὸ νεαρὸν χήνειον ἢ ὀρνίθειον καὶ δίχα ἁλῶν τεθεραπευμένον, πολέμιον δὲ ὑστέρᾳ τὸ ἡλισμένον καὶ τὸ τῷ χρόνῳ μεταβεβληκὸς εἰς δριμύτητα. πρόσφατον δὲ τούτων λαβών τι καὶ ἐξυμενίσας ἔμβαλε εἰς λοπάδα καινὴν κεραμεᾶν, δὶς τοσοῦτον χωροῦσαν ἢ ὅσον ἐστὶ τὸ μέλλον θεραπεύεσθαι, εἶτα θεὶς εἰς ὀξύτατον ἥλιον τὸ ἀγγεῖον κεκαλυμμένον ἐπιμελῶς, ὑπὸ χεῖρα τὸ ἀποτηκόμενον ἀπήθει εἰς ἕτερον ἀγγεῖον ὀστράκινον, ἕως ἂν ἅπαν δαπανήσῃ τοῦτο δὲ εἰς κατάψυχρον τόπον ἀποτίθεσο καὶ χρῶ.
