ANOTHER ROOT, WHICH SHINETH IN THE NIGHT, AND IS CALLED "BEGETTER OF THE WARRIOR''

Concerning another root. The leaves thereof are like those of the flax plant, and the lower part is strong, and it groweth in mountains which are difficult of access. It is good for wind, and [to cure this] a man should eat it with oil [for some] days. And it is good for the man who hath elephantiasis, and he should eat it in the morning, either with wine or oil. And it is good for the man who hath some obstinate ailment; pound and mix with it butter, I and let him eat it fasting seven days. Fol. 284a.
