Γερραῖοι ἔθνος Ἀραβίας ἀπὸ Γέρρας, μιᾶς αὐτῶν πόλεως. Νομάδες δὲ νομάδα βίον ἔχοντες· τούτῳ φησὶ τῷ τοξικῷ οἱ ἐν τῇ Γέρρᾳ τῆς Ἀραβίας καὶ οἱ περὶ τὸν Εὐφράτην πρὸς τὰς αἰχμὰς αὐτῶν χραίνουσιν, ὅ ἐστι βάπτουσιν. Οἱ Γερραῖοι τῷ τοιούτῳ φαρμάκῳ βουλόμενοι χρῆσθαι καὶ τοὺς αὐτὸ προσενεγκαμένους τοῖς εἰρημένοις βοηθήμασιν ἰᾶσθαι, οὕτω δοκιμάζουσι τὰ ἀλεξιφάρμακα· μέρος τοῦ ἑαυτῶν ποδὸς χαράξαντες αἷμα ἀφιᾶσι, καὶ εὐθὺς προσάπτουσι τὸ φάρμακον· ἐὰν γοῦν ἀναδράμῃ διὰ τοῦ αἵματος, τάχιον τοῖς βοηθήμασι τούτοις καθαίρουσιν αὐτὸ, πρὶν ἐμπεσεῖν τὸν ἰὸν εἰς τὴν καρδίαν.
