Raw oil, deer-marrow, and wax against every venomous bite
Of the same: a protection against being wrongednomous bite. Two sed oil, four ounces of marrow of a newly slaughtered deer, enough wax: having melted both and strained, use against all the venomous.

About this text
Julius Africanus, Cesti (Embroidered Girdles): a miscellany of history, science, and craft, in the surviving fragments — books 7, 2, and 3 in full, with parts of books 4, 8, 9, and 13, and the colophon of Cestus 18. The older English translates his letters only. The book-2 table of contents and a book-7 appendix are not in this volume.
New English from locked PG 10 / Khazarzar Greek of the Cesti fragmenta through 9.5. Earlier lemma-led scaffold English was discarded. Book-2 pinax and book-7 appendix held. This lock is exhausted.
