22. περὶ πυρικαύστου· ἑψεῖν χρὴ πρίνου ῥίζας ἁπαλὰς, ᾗ ὁ φλοιός ἐστι παχύτατος καὶ χλωρότατος, καταταμὼν μικρὰ, οἶνον λευκὸν ἐπιχέας, μαλθακῷ πυρὶ καθεψεῖν, ἕως ἂν δοκέῃ καλῶς ἔχειν τὸ πάχος, ὡς ὑπάλειπτον, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον. — Ἕτερον μὴ δάκνον· ὑὸς στέαρ μόνον παλαιὸν ὑπαλείφειν, τήξας αὐτὸ, ἄνωθεν δὲ τῆς σκίλλης τὴν ῥίζαν διαιρῶν καὶ προστιθεὶς καταδεῖν, τῇ δὲ ἑξῆς ἐπαιονᾷν. — Ἄλλο· τήξας ὑὸς στέαρ παλαιὸν, καὶ κηρὸν, καὶ ἔλαιον συμμίξας καὶ λιβανωτὸν, καὶ λωτοῦ ἰχθυήματα, καὶ μίλτον, τούτῳ ὑπαλείψας, ἄρου φύλλα ἐν οἴνῳ καὶ ἐλαίῳ ἑψήσας, προστιθεὶς καταδεῖν. — Ἕτερον· ἐπειδὰν τῷ συείῳ στέατι ὑπαλείψῃς τῷ παλαιῷ, καταλείφειν ἀσφοδέλου ῥίζας ἐν οἴνῳ τρίψας καὶ λειώσας. — Ἕτερον· τήξας στέαρ συὸς παλαιὸν, ξυμμίξας ῥητίνῃ καὶ ἀσφάλτῳ, αὐτὸ ἐπαλείψας ἐς ὀθόνιον, θερμήνας πρὸς πῦρ, ἐπιθεὶς ἐπιδεῖν.
