96 ὁ δὲ χονδρος γίνεται μὲν ἐκ τῆς καλουμένης δικόκκου ζέας, τροφιμώτερος δὲ ὀρύζης, στεγνωτικώτερος κοιλίας, εὐστομαχώτερος δὲ μᾶλλον· αἴρει δὲ καὶ λέπρας ἑψηθεὶς σὺν ὄξει καὶ καταχρισθείς, καὶ λεπρούς ὄνυχας ἀφίστησι καὶ αἰγιλώπια ἀρχόμενα θεραπεύει, ἔγκλυσμά τε τὸ ἀφέψημα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῶν μετὰ ἀλγήματος δυσεντερικῶν εὔθετον.
