THE magic OF KIRANI King of PERSIA, AND OF HARPOCRATION; CONTAINING THE Magical and Medicinal virtues of Stones, Herbs, Fishes, Beasts and Birds.  
A Work much sought for by the Learned, but seen by few; said to have been in the Vatican-Library in Rome; but not to be found there, nor in all the Famous Libraries of the Empire.  
Now Published and Translated into English from a Copy found in a private Hand.  
Printed in the Year MDCLXXXV.   

TO THE READER.  
AFter diligent Search for this Book, having by happy accident met with it, and procured it for my use; since I am minded to communicate it to the Curious and Worthy, I shall give you some account of the Authors, and their Work. The Authors are Kiranus and Harpocration. Kiranus was King of Persia, to which Crown none but Magicians could be admitted, and of which Kingdom the famous Zoroastres the first Magician, was. This work of his had been for many Ages turned out of the Persian into the Syriack, arabic, and most Eastern Tongues. Harpocration, as the Learned are of opinion, was a grecian. There were several of this Name. One of them wrote a L●xicon upon the Ten Greek Orators. Jacobus Maussacus published him with Notes and a critical Discourse upon him; where he mentions several Harpocrations, and among the rest ours, as the Sequel will prove. He is at a mighty loss about one Harpocration, whom Tertullian mentions in his Book De Corona Militis. Tertullian's Words are these; Liberum, eundem apud Aegyptios Osirin, Harpocration industriâ hederatum argumentatur, quod hederae natura sit cerebrum ab heluco defensare. In English thus; Harpocration does argue, that Bacchus, the same with Osiris among the egyptians, is pictured with Ivy on purpose, because it is the nature of Ivy to defend the Brain from Drunkenness. Now Maussacus, after he had confuted the Mistakes of several Commentators upon these words of Tertullian, who would make him to mean Harpocration that wrote the Lexicon, comes to one Commentator, whom he thinks in the right. These are the Words of Maussacus. Jacobus Pamelius, the last Commentator upon Tertullian, has taken another, and a quiter new course: For he thinks that Harpocration, whom Tertullian mentions, is the same with him, whose Manuscript Book {αβγδ} is kept in the Vatican. And if we rely on his Credit, Tertullian's words may not unfitly be accommodated to that Author, who wrote about the Natural Virtues of things, since it belongs to Natural Philosophy to teach, that the Ivy is sacred to Bacchus, because it defends the Brain from Drunkenness. But I am afraid small heed is to be given to these things, and that Pamelius speaks as an Ear rather than as an Eye-witness. For I remember I very carefully perused at Auspurg a Catalogue of all the Books in the Vatican-Library, lent me by David Heschoelius, with other Catalogues of Libraries at Auspurg, Bavaria, Vienna, the Emperor's, St. Mark at Venice, and St. Laurence at Florence, and I met not with any thing of Harpocration's but the Lexicon, neither when I was in the Vatican at Rome, to compare the Printed Harpocations with a Manuscript that was there, could I meet with any thing besides concerning him, nor could I learn any thing from two Grecians, the Father and the Son, who had the care of writing out the Manuscript Books, and who have the Catalogue of that Library by heart. But I would not have Pamelius therefore rashly censured, nor his Opinion receded from, because perhaps, he did not, as from himself, affirm, that Harpocration's Manuscript {αβγδ}, was in the Vatican; but he has been  told so by some, either whose Memory or Honesty failed them, as by Simlerus, who first  told him in his Epitome Bibliothecae Gesnerianae, that a Book of Kirani and Harpocration {αβγδ} was in the Vatican at Rome. But, till all know more certainly and firmly, that Harpocration's Book {αβγδ} is somewhere extant, and till it is tried, whether that Passage be in him, which is cited by Tertullian, it is my judgement that the business must hang in suspense, and the Trial( as Lawyers talk) must be put off, till another day. For, to say any thing positively about the Interpretation of this place, and immediately to vouch it for Truth, would be no man's act who remembers he is a Man: It was wittily said by a wise man of old {αβγδ}. Ignorance is in the greatest share of Mortals, which though we find consentaneous to Truth in other Cases, yet then most, when we take upon us to open and interpret some Places in the Writings of the Ancients, that are controverted, and not well understood. But the Learned Puteans, while this was in the Press,  told me, they red in a Catalogue, which their Father had a most complete one of all the Libraries in Italy, that Harpocration's Book {αβγδ}, written Alphabetically, was in the Library of Cardinal St. Angelo, which is now fallen to his Brother Cardinal Farnesius. Which thing, how far it persuades me, that that Author does not differ much from ours, I need not declare: for the Alphabetical order, which we find he observed, what does it argue, but that he was a Lexicographer, not much unlike ours in his way of writing, though he differ in the Subject? I wish I could obtain that Treasure, that I might publish it with this of ours, we should not be so much in the Dark about this controverted place in Tertullian, and it would presently appear whether the Author of these two Books were the same, after which we are so solicitously inquisitive. Now that Treasure which Maussacus so much wished for, I here offer to you: for it is the Book of Kirani and Harpocration, as Gesner's Bibliotheca cites it; and it goes Alphabetically as Putean says his Harpocration did in the Cardinal's Library. And as for the controverted Place in Tertullian, consult but the Letter Θ, pag. 26. of the first Book, and you may be satisfied, that Tertullian quoted no other Harpocration but ours. red on to pag. 28. and you have this Passage. That you may be without Drunkenness, and for all favour and health; In the ston Thyrsites engrave the bide Thyr, and Bacchus holding the bide, and under the ston enclose the Root of the Herb,( meaning Ivy) and wear it, and you will be without Drunkenness, and will have Favour with all men; and moreover you will be without danger in the Palace For this is a divine Dionysiack, and weakens the strength of Bacchus. For so says Harpocration. And that learned Father Tertullian says, Harpocration argues, that Bacchus, the same with Osiris among the egyptians, is pictured with Ivy on purpose, because it is the Nature of Ivy to defend the Brain from Drunkenness. So that Harpocration's and Tertullian's Sense are altogether the same. And this must be the Book which no less a Man than Tertullian quoted as an Author, and which many Learned Men since him have longed to see, but could not. And Barthius, another Learned critic of his time, giving an account of some Greek Physicians, who were never yet published, strangely extols Kirani. For whereas others only transcribed one from another, and little is to be had from any one of them, that may not be found in Hippocrates and Galen; Kirani has many prodigious Virtues of things both in Medicine, and other Affairs, contained in the Subjects which he mentions. Barthius moreover says, he saw this curious Manuscript in the possession of Henry Ellenberger, primary Physician to the Court at Magdeburg, who may very well be reckoned among the greatest Physicians of his Age. Barthius would by all means have had it published, being a Book of such infinite value: And the rather because it has something of Harpocration in it, who is so highly and deservedly valued by Learned Men. And he reckons it to be Tertullian's Harpocration, as Pamelius before him imagined, and as by comparing the Passages in these two Authors we have already proved. So that it is not only my Opinion, but it is the Conjecture of Pamelius, who could not after his most inquisitive Search and Research, meet with Harpocration; and it is the clear judgement of that vastly Learned Man Barthius, who saw Harpocration. And I the rather mention Barthius, because this Translation is from a Copy of that very Manuscript which he saw in Dr. Ellenberger's hand. Being thus far satisfied of the Original Authors, our next business will be to inquire concerning the Translators of them. Barthius conjectures that the Translation out of the Agarene, or arabic Language into the Greek, was the Work of a Monk of Constantinople, in the time of Manuel or Emanuel Comnenus, the Son of Calojoannes; the Conclusion of whose Life and Empire was foretold them both in two Greek Oracles. The Father's in this; {αβγδ}! i. e. Oh, how shalt thou become the Food of unlucky Crows! And this Calojoannes died somewhere in a place called in Greek Crows-Nest. And the Son's in this, {αβγδ}, i. e. Certainly the last Syllable of a Word shall gain thee. Now( {αβγδ}) the last Syllable( and the two last Letters) of {αβγδ}, that Emperor's Name, signifies Eight and Thirty: And he reigned so many years. Besides, Historians writ, how at that time the Greek Nation was mightily addicted to magic. And so, in all likelihood, this Greek Interpreter must be well skilled therein. The next Translation out of Greek into latin, was made about three or four hundred years since, by one Gerardus, a most excellent physician of that time. Trithemius surnames him Fulginas; Raphael Volaterranus, Suchonas; but Gesner and the most call him Cremonensis.  
This Latin Translation has been quoted by many at the second hand. But I never met with any that saw so much as a Manuscript of it, till Barthius( as we  told you) saw it in Dr. Ellenberger's Hand, who kept it as a precious Jewel, and a great Rarity. He had wrote in the Book with his own Hand, That he received this Book in Manuscript, as a singular Boon, from the most Illustrious Lady, the Lady ELEONOR, Landgravess of Hesse, descended from the Family of the Dukes of Wirtemberg, at Darmstad, Anno M.DC.IX. This Book had, about an hundred Years before that, been ●… n the possession of one Waltherus de VIELBEL, Praepositus S. L. by whose Donation it belonged to David Vielbel, Anno M.D.XXX. After Dr. Ellenberger's Death, this Treasure fell to his Son Christian William Ellenberger, who being a Soldier, bestowed it upon a Physician, his Acquaintance and Friend. This Physician printed it privately; for neither his own, nor the Printer's, nor the place's Name is printed. But he says, he was forced to leave the University, and to retire into the country, by reason of the Plague, of which the Famous Sennertus died, and he only took this curious Manuscript with him, and in his Retirement fitted it for the Press. It bears Date M.DC.XXXVIII. So that it seems, but a few Copies were printed, and those privately distributed; one of which with some difficulty I procured.  
As for the Book, it seems to be one of that sort of Books which Men in the Acts, who used curious Arts, brought together, and burnt, the Price whereof being counted, was found to be fifty thousand pieces of Silver. But since such miraculous Zeal is ceased, with the rest of Miracles, this piece of Curiosity needs no more undergo Martyrdom, than Christians now need sell all, and live upon a common Stock, as they did in the Fourth of the Acts, especially since Tertullian, one of the Fathers, quoted it. It contains, I confess, much Curiosity in it; but nothing to endamage Christianity, where it is so firmly settled: And if there be something that deserves the Sponge, yet all ought nor therefore to be obliterated; nor must the Child be thrown away with the Bathe. But the time the Authors lived in, requires some Grains of Allowance. And those hidden specific virtues of things, and strange Methods in curing Diseases, may atone for the Scraps of Vanity and Superstition that are in the Book. I find, that former impolite Ages, were nevertheless very curious in Affairs of Philosophy, and in that regard surpassed our better cultivated, and more literate Age. I find also, that great Deference was given to our Authors: Insomuch that Albertus Magnus( who is quiter spoiled by unskilful Transcribers) quotes this very Book. For in Trinum Magicum, p. 168. there is this Passage, Magicalis cognitio existit in speculatione rationum,& in speculatione naturalium, secundum quod antiquis Auctoribus examinavi& percepi, imo& egomet Albertus, ut in pluribus veritatem inveni,& veritatem suppono( eo modo) quo ab aliquo ex CHYRANDIS libro,& libro ALCHORAT ( sc. eruere licuit) Where it is plain enough, that it was first written CYRANIDIS libro& ARPOCRATIONIS, and by mistake so miserable depraved. But since Albertus, many learned Men of the Moderns have made use of Kirani, as Gesner, Aldrovandus, Balduinus Ronsaeus, and others. As for Medicines, I know no specific mentioned by the Ancients, and very few by the Moderns, which he has not, besides many, that are to be met with no where else. But because for some Ages past, to have been a Magician, or a Wise Man, was Capital, it will be necessary to remove some Prejudices received against magic or Wisdom, which I think cannot better be done, than by showing what true magic or Wisdom is, and how far is is consistent with the Holy Scriptures, which seem most to condemn it. Now, magic I take to be a skill which by a certain Power, yet not supernatural, but created, is able to do unusual things, whose Causes are beyond the common Comprehension of Men. In this Definition we exclude Miracles, as supernaturally wrought by the Finger of GOD. And by excluding from it all Diabolical Contract, we must intend no other than magic purely natural, or the Skill of managing Nature by Art, so as to accomplish strange things. We know it was the Ambition of Knowledge that ruined our First Parents; but they had to do in that Affair with the Devil. And I make no doubt, but they had the Knowledge of Good, before they tasted of the three of Knowledge 〈…〉 Good and Evil, the latter part whereof has a●… most obliterated the former in their posterity though the former is that which we aim at and which Adam undoubtedly had in his Innocency. For all the Learned hold him to have had an exact Knowledge of the virtue of things before the Fall. And this Knowledge was delivered from Father to Son befor●… the Flood, till Seth engraved it on Pillars, and so by those Monuments, as well a●… by Noah's oral Tradition, the Post-Diluvians were instructed in the same. Abraham is said to have had skill in Astrology. And the Scriptures testify, what skill in the magic of Imagination his Grand-son Jacob had, from his peeled Rods, that he set before the Flocks, when they conceived. Moses is not only accounted a Magician by Heathen Writers, but the Scriptures testify, how he was learned in all the Wisdom of the egyptians, whereo●… magic was no small Share, as their Magicians working Wonder for Wonder with Moses, a little while, prove.  
We red also of wise Charming in the Psalms, of which sort of Charming we have a Form in this Book, pag. 152. And if we should narrowly inquire into all the Books of Scripture, we might perceive, that the Authors of them were skilled in the power of Nature, as well as of Godliness, the former whereof, was, and is called magic. Nay, the Magi of the East, were more devout in following their Star, to worship our Saviour, than all the Nation of the Jews. So that magic( unless with Jannes and Jambres, we use it in opposition against GOD) is not only lawful, but commendable.  
But whereas Kirani undertakes to cast out, and drive away evil Spirits by natural Means, this is but what Tobias in the Apocrypha did by the persuasion of the Angel: For he remembered the words of Raphael, and took coals for perfumes, and put the Heart and Liver of the Fish thereupon, and made a perfume. The which smell when the evil Spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of egypt, whom the Angel bound. The Angel likewise  told Tobias, that as for the gull, anoint a Man that has Whiteness in his Eyes, and he shall be healed. And he took hold of his Father, and sprinkled of the gull in his Fathers Eyes, saying, be of good hope my Father. And when his Eyes began to prick, he rubbed them; And the Whiteness peeled away from the corners of his Eyes, and then he saw his Son. Now Kirani so far explains the Apocrypha, as to tell us the Heart, the Liver and the gull of what Fish it is, that does these things.  
I remember, I have heard of a Physician, eminent for the cure of lunatics, who is said to have used suffumigations or perfumes of something in his Cures. And such you may meet with here.  
You must take notice, that in the first Book in the concatenation of the virtues o●… things according to the four Elements, th●… Plants are analogous to Earth, Fishes to Water, Birds to Air, and Stones to Fire. For Nature's Interpreters do ascribe miraculou●… Virtues to Gemmus; and without doubt those efficacious and abstruse properties descend from a peculiar influence of the Stars, and a better temperament of the Elements. And is it a great Argument it is so, because in the Eastern Countries, where the Sun is hottest, the best Stones are found. And therefore Kirani ascribes fiery Virtues to Stones, and makes one to be under one Planet, and another under another. But it were endless to give an account of all the Rarities herein contained. Therefore with Piety and Wisdom peruse these four Books themselves. The Worth and Rarity whereof, I am afraid, has tempted some dishonest person to rob the Vatican, and other Libraries of them. But are now at length( maugre Envy and ill Will,) communicated to you, for your Benefit, Farewell.   

THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY OF THE OLD INTERPRETER, TO THE Most Prudent Mr. &c. Ra. Pa. one of the meanest of the Clergy, Health.  
I Admire and commend the Sagacity of Your Prudence, who, tho' You be experienced in such things as are above the Nature of our Sphere, and have by Contemplation penetrated to things beyond the Seventh Heaven; yet you disdain not to look down upon the most inferior terrene Experiments: For You requested me to translate this physic Book out of the Greek into the latin Tongue: a thing much more easily said than done. However, being obliged by your Charity and Bounty to me, I could not disobey your Commands. And because there are, as you know, divers Translations out of the Agarene Tongue into the Greek, I have industriously and faithfully followed the Greek Book that you gave me, in all things. Neither was I willing to pass by the very two Prologues, tho' rugged, and abstracted, as it were, from the most ancient Titles: not so much minding the Words, which are of a Barbarian Sterility, as the Sense of Utility. If therefore you find any thing altered, let it not be imputed to my Unfaithfulness or Ill-will, but to common Mistake: For there is no man so wise, but has some Mark of Folly in him. Yet I would have you know, that there is among the Grecians a certain Book of Alexander the Great about the seven Herbs of the seven Planets, and another that is called Thessalus his Mystery to Hermes( that is, Mercury) of the twelve Herbs attributed to the twelve Signs, and of seven other Herbs by seven other Stars. Which, if they should happen to come to my hands or to yours, because they imitate a Celestial Dignity, may very well be prefixed to this Work.  
This Book therefore is translated at Constantinople, Manuel being Emperor, Anno Christi 1168. Indictione secundâ. The Book of Physical Virtues, Sympathies, and Cures, gathered out of two Books, viz. The Experience of Kiranides Kirani, King of the Persians, and out of the Book of Harpocration the Alexandrian to his own Daughter. And the first Book of Kirani was thus, and so we will suppose it was the great Gift of the Agarenes to him. He that received this Book from GOD, was Hermes Trismegistus, well known to all men. Do not therefore deliver it to the Ignorant, but keep it to thyself as a great Possession: and let the Father▪ if it may so be, deliver it only to his Children instead of Gold for the efficacy of its Action, adjuring them, as sacred Children, only to keep it secret,  
This Book was engraven in Syriack Letters upon an Iron Pillar, in a Book indeed interpnted by me formerly. But in this Book which is called Kiranides, twenty four Stones, twenty four Fishes, twenty four Herbs, and twenty four Birds are written of. The Virtues of every one of these are complex and intermixed with the rest, for the Cure, and also the Delight of mortal Bodies: And truly the invention or beginning is from Almighty GOD; for by his Wisdom we obtain the Action of Herbs, Fishes and Birds, and the Virtue of Stones, and the Nature of Animals and wild Beasts, and moreover, the mutual permixtions of them, and their Communities and Proprieties, since the knowledge& skill of many things comes from GOD into men. Therefore dividing into three Kiranides; I have declared the whole Composure in order of the Alphabet, according as any thing worthy remark occurred. And they are called {αβγδ},( Koiranides or Queens) because these are the Queens of all the rest of my Books. And we found Kirani of the King of the Persians, which is the first of these Books.  
This indeed is the Prologue of Harpocration, and it is thus;  
The therapeutic( that is, the Curatory) Book of Syria, Harpocration wrote it to his own Daughter.  
When formerly I traveled through the Country of Babylon, I found a City, Seleutica by Name, the History whereof I have written; but we have no occasion to make any long Discourse upon that City, because we would not always be upon Preambles. Now therefore let us return to our proposed Intention. Then, says he, I saw another City yet, seventeen Persian Miles distance from Seleutica, which Alexander of Macedon demolished; afterwards Seleutica was built, under the Dominion of the Persians, and inhabited by the Nation of the Persians. This is called little Alexandria, which is near Babylon. And this is the History of Syria.  
The third Year it happened, that I found an old man skilled in Foreign Learning, and in the Greek Tongue: But he said, he was a Syrian by Nation, was taken captive, and lived there: and he went round the City with me, and shewed me every thing. And when we came to a certain place about four Miles distance from the City, we saw a Pillar, with a great Tower, which the Inhabitants of Syria said they brought from the edifice of Solomon, and placed it there for the Health and Cure of the Men of that City. Looking therefore well upon it, I found it was written in strange Letters. The old Man therefore, as soon as he was asked by me, agreed to show me, and I willingly lent an ear to him, while he discoursed, and expounded the Barbarous Letters that were upon the Pillar in the Aeolick Tongue. My Son, saith he, You see three Towers standing here, one of which is five Miles distant, another two and a half, and another four. These were built by the Giants, who had a mind to climb into Heaven; for this their impious Madness some of them were struck with Thunder, others through the just judgement of GOD, knew not themselves, and the rest were cast into the Isle of Crete, into which, God, being angry with them, hurled them. The old Man therefore, who shewed me these things, bade me measure the greatness of the ston with a Cord: Therefore measuring that which was nigh, I found it two and thirty Cubits high, and seventy nine broad; and there were two hundred and eight steps to it. We also saw a Sacred cloister, and in the middle of the cloister there was a Temple, having three hundred sixty five Silver Steps, and sixty more of Gold, by which we went up to pray to GOD. And he  told me the Mysteries of the Living GOD, which I will not tell to all. I was indeed willing to be informed of other things, and propounded several other things; but my main design was to be informed of the Pillar: And the old Man drawing aside a Silken Veil, shewed strange and foreign Letters engraven upon it. And because he was skilled in my Tongue, I entreated and begged of him, that he would candidly and without Envy make plain all things to me. Now the Things that were red upon the Pillar, were these;  
This is a manifold Table of the true Example, always having, and knowing, and fore-knowing the Immissions of the Divinity.  
This Second Book may in the Name of GOD be called Kirani. The Second Book going out of the little Archaicus Syriacus, as the clear Flood of Euphrates runs swiftly. These Things were engraven on Iron Pillars. Both whatever things were formerly, or shall be hereafter, equal Conjunctions of them in Virtues of Stones, and with them also both the Plants of the Earth, and the Fishes of the Deep, and the Fowls of the Air, tempering Virtue with Virtue in the greater Quaternary: For these things are good for Men that were formerly, and shall be hereafter; because being immortal bearing a mortal Body, carried through the Air, bound with the evil Bonds of Necessity; as GOD himself said, governing mortal Bodies, thou art made in Sin, and encompassed with the sordidness of Necessity, as any one in Fetters, unless he get out, and in Bonds and Chains; so Necessity straightens thee in hard Bonds: But when thou art got out of the dull Body, thou shalt truly see GOD, that rules in the Air and in the Cloud, who causes Thunder and Earthquake, Lightning and Thunder-bolts, and who shakes the Foundations of the Earth, and the Waters of the Sea. These are the Works of GOD the Father Eternal. O Soul! GOD shows these things, and all Contraries.  
But this Book was butted in the Fens of Syria, engraven upon an Iron Pillar all over Steel or Endanick, as we said before in the former Book, which is called Archaicus: But in this, that is called Kiranides,, four and twenty Stones, four and twenty Fishes of the Sea, four and twenty Herbs, and four and twenty Birds are written of, The Virtue of every one of these shall be complicate and mixed with the other Virtues, that assuaging and strengthening this mortal Body, we may enjoy Health Eternal: For none gives Spirit to Man but GOD; for all things are written according to the Construction of GOD: And this is the Beginning. For tho' the Beginnings or Prologues of each have a Dissonance; yet henceforth they begin as it were in Consonance. And Harpocration says thus.   

KIRANIDES AND HARPOCRATION. BOOK I.  

Letter I. Α.  
{αβγδ} the white Vine. {αβγδ}, the Eagle, a bide. {αβγδ}, the Eagle-stone. {αβγδ}, the Eagle, a Fish without Scales.  
{αβγδ} is a most holy and admirable Herb; it is also divine, and is called {αβγδ}, Bryony. The Male-Eagle is King of all Birds. The Eagle-stone is with Child and Rattles. The Eagle, a Fish without Scales, is like the Hawkfish, only somewhat blacker, and like a little Thorn-back. For Convulsions and Epilepsies; Now the Root of the Herb worn about the Neck, cures People of Convulsions and the falling Sickness. For the bloody Flux, and spitting of Blood; And four spoonfuls of the Juice given to any in a bloody Flux cure him. Against Drunkenness; And if a man, otherwise well, have a mind to drink much Drink, let him drink of the Juice of the Leaves ℥ j. and as much Vinegar fasting. That one be not made drunk; And if one drink the ston that is in the Head of the Fish, with Wine, he shall not perceive at all what he drinks. And if he carry the ston about his Neck, without the Herb, if he drink a Gallon of strong Wine, he shall not perceive it. To make Excretion. The Stones, when the Grapes are prest out, bruised with a little of the said ston, and given in Drink to such as have paralytic Genitals, will make them stand. And it is good for them that cannot perform the Act of Generation. For broken Bones of the Hands, and bloody Fluxes, and any Disease of the Arse. And GOD himself gave this, that mortal Body might not fail. Take of White Wine a Pint and an half, with the tender Buds of the Herb XL, and Coriars Galls ℥ iij. boil two thirds away; this cures Dysenteries and Lienteries, and broken Bones of the hands, and every Disease of the Arse, and every such thing, if it be drunk. A Decoction of the Leaves also, drunk with a little Honey, assuages every Disease of the Neck: And if you add a little of the ston, that Disease will neither increase, nor return again. I have seen several, who have had their Bones crushed, and I admired how they were cured. One can testify this, who was twenty five years old, and is now restored without pain by this Divine Medicine and Nature: Nor indeed were there any Hands before; all the Flesh was withered upon one, nor had it any Sense; but all the Members besides had their feeling. Also to make broken Bones whole, I found in this Sacred Book thus: Give the Juice of the Leaves of the Herb, and as much white Wine mixed with it, to drink for seven days. And the Eagle-Stone worn about one, and the Fish eaten, do the same thing. Keep this Gift of GOD, and give it not to thine own Son! For the Thumbs and incurable Nails: When the Nail of the Thumb falls, and is incurable, and is always running, infuse Dates bruised in white Wine, and lay them sometimes on alone, chewed, and sometimes with oil of Roses. For Warts: And for Warts, which come either all over the Body, or in any Part, burn the Branches or Wood of Vine, and apply the Water that comes out with the smoke of the Vine-Leaf, or give it to drink, and they will all fall off: Teach no man this! So the Dung of an Eagle applied, will cure: The ston applied, and the Fat of the Fish anointed, does also cure. For Putrefaction of the Gums, and the Jaws, and for cancerous and eating Ulcers in the whole Body. Of the Juice of the Leaves ℥ iij. Alum ℥ iv. crude Misy ʒiv. Manna ℥ iv. Illyrick Iris ℥ j. Vitriol ℥ iv. dissolved till they be dry; for this purges and fills ulcerous and eating Sores, and it stops a supervening Inflammation. And this is far greater. For Putrefaction of the Tongue, and Mortification of the Gums. But now we tell you something that is great. We saw something marcid and cancerous in the Tongue, which was like also to mortify the Gums; therefore by applying the Juice of the Leaves mixed with Honey, it was cured; then strewing on dry Iris, the Ulcer filled up. For all Breaches, and a Polypus, and Frettings, and Eatings, and Humors, and whatever happens about the Nose, a Divine Medicine. Of the Juice of the Leaves ℥ iv. Manna, Vitriol, Frankincense, Misy, Aristolochia, each three ounces: Rub them till all is dry, and use the Divine Virtue. For Baldness and Shedding of the Hair, Sores, Scurf, and any Diseases about the Head: Apply the Juice of the Herb and the Juice of Potamogeiton, and the Juice of Seseli skilfully mixed, anoint for three days. A Divine Medicine to keep the Teeth sound and firm, which I would not keep from you. Of the Juice of the Grapes ℥ j. or viij Spoonfuls, the Bark of Mulbery-Tree Root ℥ vj. boil it to half, and give it to wash the Mouth for three or five or seven days, and your Teeth will never ache. If one will diligently consider, the Vine will cure all Diseases from the Head to the Feet. This Herb is called THEOdorica, i.e. Given of GOD. Kiranus and Harpocration do thus far agree.  
Then Kiranus brings something new, and says, For Urine and Stool; The Sprouts, I say, of the first Budding of this Herb, boiled and eaten, provoke Urine and Stool. But both the Leaves, and the Root, and the Fruit have a very hot and sharp Virtue. For the King's Evil, and eating Flesh, and putrid Ulcers and Gangrenes. And it has also another very famous Virtue and Divine Efficacy; for it cures the King's Evil, and putrid Ulcers and Gangrenes, and eating Sores, made up with Aristolochia into a Plaster. And its Root roasted, brings a good Colour into the Face, and a tender Skin. And it takes out Moles, Corns and Freckles; mixed with Flower of bitter fetch and Foenugreek, it takes away Corns, Freckles and black Moles. And boiled with oil till it congeals, it is good for the same. And the Root broken in Wine, takes away Lividness of the Eyes and Whitlows. For a Swelling. It amends any Ulcer of the Genitals, and dissipates and disperses Swellings. For the epilepsy. An ounce of it given every day for a Year with Oxymel, cures it. For the Apoplexy and Swimming in the Head, and Biting of Serpents, and Miscarriage. It is also good for apoplectic and Vertiginous Persons: Give ℥ ij, and it quickly cures such as are bitten by Serpents; It corrupts the Birth also, and disturbs the Belly and the Sense; and applied, it brings away the Secundine, and drunk, it moves Urine. Eighteen grains of it drunk for thirty days, wastes the Spleen. Made into a Plaster with Figs, it is good for the same. It is boiled for hot Insessions for purging of the Matrix. It also moderately purgeth the Belly. And its Fruit in an ointment and Plaster, is good for the Scurf and leprosy. The Juice of the Herb drunk in Broth, causes Milk. Drunk and anointed with oil, it is good for Epaticks. Its Leaves also in a Cataplasm with Wine, are good for all Ulcers. And applied, they are good for rheumatic Swellings. And we may say further, It is good for all things to him that useth it with Caution.  
And there are two sorts of it. The first is called the white Vine, which some call Bryony, others Snake-Grape; others Coelidonia, others {αβγδ}, others {αβγδ}, others {αβγδ}, others Kethedron. The Buds, and Leaves, and Claspers of this are like the domestic Vine, but they are thicker, and implicated with the adjacent Fruits, catching with their Claspers; and it has a read Grape-like Fruit, wherewith Hides have their Hair fetched off, or are prepared. And the second sort of it is called the black Vine, which they also call Bryony; and some {αβγδ}, having Leaves like Ivy, but the great ones like Bind-weed, but greater; this also applies itself to, and takes hold of Trees with its Claspers. And its Fruit is like Grapes; they are green in the beginning, and when they are ripe, they are black without, but like Box within. And its Sprouts also at the first budding may be boiled like Pot-herbs; and they are diuretic, and force the Menstrua; they cure the Spleen. The Roots are very good for splenetic Persons, and the whole Herb is proper for such as are epileptic and Vertiginous. And its Leaf in a Cataplasm with Wine, is good to eat away proud Flesh, and for wrested and dislocated Limbs, and for Relaxations; and further, it has a Virtue like to the former.  
And the white Vine has other Efficacies secular and delightful, so that being applied, it does not only give any man Sobriety, but causes Delight. So says Kiranus in this place, After the Dissonance of them both, there began Harpocration his Speech: O blessed Herb! conductor of the Gods, and a Royal conductor, more powerful than all Herbs, having the Principality of Earth, and Heaven, and Air, and dissolving all Power! O Grape bearing Drink! mayst thou loosen the Limbs, cause Sleep! No Speech nor Body shall expel thee; but thou findest out whatever things are in the Minds of Mortals, and what Mysteries they have hidden in their Mind. The Vine makes manifest all Secrets, and all things that shall be concealed by Writing, or by Medicine, or by Enchantment, or by the Sword, or by Science: For these may be said to be the Mysteries of the Vine. And it has other mundane things also, which are not unprofitable to Mortals, yea, they bring Delight and Joy. Therefore thu●… I red on: The holy Speech, as Kirani had it. For Joy and Exultation. O Blessed Queen●… bestowed of GOD, most holy Mother, and more Divine than all Plants! first Nature affects the Grape, the Grape makes heavenly Wine! Before you have said this, sand th●… Cup, Bowl or Flagon about, of which all d●… drink, and they break out into Joy, no ma●… complaining or asking. For {αβγδ}, i. e. Exultation. The Juice of the Grape drunk causes great Joy. Plant it in every place For neither the Solemnities of the Gods, no●… of Mortals, who have a term in their Life 〈…〉 nor what things in Life do come, nor wha●… things now go out, nor some of those thing●… that are acted in Life, can be done without this Plant. Also occult things require the planting of it. For People troubled with quartan Agues; It yet remains for me to speak of a certain Cacodaemon( or evil Spirit) which is called a Quartanary, who is not easily conquered by five Fortitudes of the first Decan of Capricorn, because he sees not, nor hears; for he is without a Head. Therefore take the Grape having four Seeds, take out the Kernels with your Nails, and not with your Mouth, and put them in a course Cloth, and hang them about your Neck, and it will cause Health. And the ston that is in the Head of the Fish, hung about the Neck, takes away a quartan. Therefore take the Eagle-Stone, and engrave also an Eagle upon it, and under the ston put the Kernels of the Grape, and the top of the Feathers of an Eagles wing; and if you have not an Eagle, of an Hawks, and enclosing it, wear it. For it will preserve you from all the foresaid Occasions of Evil: Moreover it will give you power to speak, and to have friendly conference with Great Men; and it is good for many other things; all which I will not declare.

{αβγδ} is a bide which is called {αβγδ} i. e. a Crow, a common Animal, and known to all People, living to five hundred year●… of age. {αβγδ} is a precious ston, a Beril●… which is called {αβγδ}, i. e.

LETTER III. Γ.  
{αβγδ}, the Herb Paeony. {αβγδ}, a sort of Owl. {αβγδ}, a ston. {αβγδ}, a Sea-fish, known to all men.  
Glykiside is the Herb Paeony; and it is called Paeony, from its inventor Paeon; and it has 〈…〉 Fruit like the Gum of an Almond three. Some of its Seeds are open, and others close. Glaux is a bide which is ascribed to Pallas; ●… t has a Crown of Feathers upon its Head, and great Eyes like a Night-Raven, living in the Fields. Gnanthius is a ston as hard as a millstone, like a Granate. Glaucus is a Sea-Fish, known to all men. Now there are two sorts of the Herb, Female and M●le. That a Woman may conceive: If therefore a Woman do not retain the Man's Seed, and would conceive, let her be gird with the close Seeds of the Divine Herb, tying it in a linen Cloth died of seven Colours; let it be put about her Twist. That she may not conceive; But if she have no mind to conceive, let her gird her self with the ope●… Seeds, and the Wax of a Mules Ear; as lon●… as she pleases.

LETTER IV. Δ.  
Draconthea, the Herb Dragons. {αβγδ}, the bide Woodpecker. Draco, a Fish. Dendritis, a Tree-stone.  
Draconthea is an Herb, having Seed like ●… he eyes of a Dragon, broad leaves, is bad ●… ltogether. The Woodpecker is a bide known ●… o all, as big as a Quail, it perforates Oaks, Olive trees and Nut trees, that it may make 〈…〉 Nest in the middle of the Wood. The Dragon is a Sea fish without scales: After ●… herefore that it has voided much, and would ●… o over great violence, the Clouds of Heaven snatch it into the Air, and dash it against the Mountains, tearing it Limb from Limb, so that it is no more. That one be not ●… urt; It is two forked, like a Horses Tail, ●… wo fingers in length. Putting it in oil, keep it. Putting it in oil indeed, it pre●… erves all People from fascination and infir●… ity. For I saw this upon the Sea coasts of ●… he Assyrian country. Dendrites is a ston, which is known by many; This grows in India in Rocky maritime places about six fingers high. For Hearing; The Seed of the Herb Draconthea worn sharpens the Sight, and removes a little pain in the Head. The Feather also of the bide, with a little of the ston Dendrites, cures the Hemicrania or half headache. In like manner the Feather of the bide, and a little of the Fish bruised and applied, suddenly cures every headache. Let us not therefore mistake fo●… the difficult finding of the great Draconthea but those things which are done, are from the little Draconthea, which is two hand●… breadths high, and it is as the Fish or th●… Serpent, and we put this for the other. Fo●… a {αβγδ}, or a Flesh dropsy, and a●… {αβγδ}, or leprosy of the Arabians, an●… any leprosy. For a pain in the Head, an●… the beginning of an Elephantia and leprosy and any breaking out of the Skin, the Fa●… of the Dragon-Fish with the Juice of th●… Herb, anoint morning and evening. To ope●… Doors, Locks, Bolts, and to tame wild Beast and to be beloved of all, and to acquire a●… things, that whatever you please may be do●… for you. And if one obtain the hole of 〈…〉 three, in which the young ones of the Woo●…pecker are, he shall carry the Herb which 〈…〉 knows, and touching it opens: For if it 〈…〉 made of day or Chalk, the dirt will fall: If of ston it bursts: If a wooden Board or iron Plate be so fastened with Nails, all things cleave and break in pieces upon the touch of the Herb, and the Woodpecker opens and takes out her young ones. If any one therefore have got this Herb, he will do many things, which are not now lawful to mention, as of the most Divine Nature, which Man cannot perform. If therefore any man engrave a Woodpecker in the ston Dendrites, and a Sea-Dragon under its feet, and enclose the Herb underneath it, which the Woodpecker found and carried, every Gate will open to him, and Bolts and Locks. savage Beasts will also obey him, and come to tameness; he shall also be beloved and observed of all, and whatsoever he hath a mind to, he shall acquire and perform. Mercury was a most accursed Pagan, and was worshipped as a God: but I worship Christ, and do unwillingly writ of Mercury. O the Blessedness of the Gods! Mercury is an Animal unknown to GOD, and also his Nature. For who can find out the generation of Men? He is not, yea, a deceiver, Thou art wise, and instructing hast given understanding in the Pillar, Thus far Nature. But he that carries it, shall learn those things that are in the Gods, shall open Locks, and loose Chains, shall pacify all wild Beasts by the will which is in Heaven, shall assuage the waves of the terrible Sea, shall chase away all Devils, and shall appear good to all men. But we will alter for the purpose. If perchance you should not find the Herb, which opens the shut Nest of the Woodpecker, enclose under the engraven ston the top of a Feather of the Birds wings and the Heart, and one seed of the Herb Draconthea, and the ston or the Brain of the Fish. For being so carried, they give sharp-sightedness to the Eyes, cure the headache, and expel all Diseases of the Eyes and Head from the Bearer. Moreover they represent him rich and potent to all Men.   

LETTER V. Ε.  
{αβγδ}, the Herb Rocket. Enlui, aëdon, a Nightingale. {αβγδ}, a Sea-Urchin. Enanthus, a ston.  
Euzomon is the herb Rocket, which is eaten among pot-herbs, and known to all men. Echinus, the Sea-Urchin is also known to all. Enlui is a Nightingale, known well enough. Enanthus is a ston of every colour, and it is dedicated to Venus, because it is of many colours. Rocket therefore heats, because there is an Error among many, and they know not the nature of every Herb. Against Lust and Erection. Therefore Priests eat Rue, and the herb Agnus castus, for Chastity's sake, For green Rocket quenches Lust much, and frequent Erection, and Dreams. Wherefore Priests, when by their turns they serve in the Temples, do often eat this, and they fall not into pollution▪ For Erection, of the Seed of this ℥ iv. Pepper ℥ j. with Honey morning and night take as much as you can take up with two fingers. But if a man be grown old, and have a loose and hanging Member, he shall do this. Of Seed of Rocket ℥ xuj. Cumin ℥ viij, Pepper ℥ iv. of Seed of purslane ℥ ij. Being bruised and made up with Honey, let him take it morning and evening. It is incomparable. And the eyes and the heart of a Nightingale laid about men in Bed, keep them awake. To make one die for sleep. For if any one dissolve them, and give them secretly to any in drink, he will never sleep, but will so die, and it admits not of Cure. For epileptic Persons. If you give half the navel of a Sea-Urchin dissolved, to such as are held of an epilepsy, they will presently be relieved; but give it only with Honey frequently. That you may be amiable to men, and known for eloquence, and acceptable, and that you may be feared of Men and wild Beasts. In the ston Enanthus with Gold engrave Venus, and let her Locks and the Hair of her Head be tied to her Head, and put the root of the Herb, and the Nightingale's Tongue under her, enclose it and wear it, and you will be amiable to all men, and known, and eloquent; and not only to Men, but Devils and wild Beasts will fly from you.   

LETTER VI. Ζ.  
{αβγδ}, the Herb Bindweed. Zaukos, a bide. Zmirena, a Sea-fish. Smaragdus, an emerald.  
Smilax is a very strong Herb, like the Plant Ivy. For Women's Travail. If you Crown a Woman with it, that has hard Travail, she will presently bring forth without pain. For Praegnation. If any Woman suffer difficulty with pain in praegnation, gird her with it, and she will breed without pain. And if you mix of the juice of the Leaves ℥ j. and of Honey another ℥. and give it an hydropic person, the party will purge without danger: But a Woman, if she drinks it, will suffer a Flux of Blood. Zaucos or Zeucos, a sort of bide, some call it a harp. For it is a vulture devouring white carcases. Zmiraena, a Sea-Lamprey, is known to all. An emerald is a known ston. Therefore if you give the Gut of an harp to any one to eat, the Eater will be torn; for he will be insatiable. And if you give the great Gut of it, which is called {αβγδ} or Colon, powdered in drink to any one, or roasted to eat, it will perfectly cure the colic. For People troubled with the quartan Ague and the leprosy: And its Fat applied with an ointment of oil expels a quartan. The Dung also applied with Vinegar stops a leprosy. And whatever you will of the Liver given inwardly, corrupts all things that are within. For all disturbance of Dreams, and lunatics, and those that are troubled with the colic. The emerald is a green precious ston. Engrave therefore upon it the bide harp, and under its feet a Sea-Lamprey, and under the ston enclose the Root of the Herb, and wear it, against Disturbance, and Dreams, and Stupidity. It causes Rest to lunatics, and to them that are troubled with the colic. And it is better, if the Fat of the Sea-Lamprey be put underneath: For this is Divine.   

LETTER VII. Η.  
{αβγδ}, the Herb we call Eryngo. {αβγδ}, the Sun-Bird, or {αβγδ}, i. e having scarlet Wings. {αβγδ}, s. emagines, Vulcane's ston. {αβγδ}, the Fish Delight, some call it Affidion, a kind of Anchovy.  
Eryngo is an Herb like Calamus; it grows thorny; its virtues are such as these: For, if any carry its Root, he shall not at any time suffer the Treachery of Devils. That the Devil may confess who he is, and from whence? And to cast him out: And if any one have an aëreal Spirit, put one of these Roots under his clothes, and he will confess to you who he is, and will fly from the Man, a stranger to him. And the whole Herb drunk with its Root in Water and Honey assuages the colic. For the Stone-Colick and the ston, and the Strangury: And if it be made hot, and drunk with Water and Honey, it cures those those that are troubled with the ston, and the Stone-colick, and the Strangury. And let them drink it for sixteen days, every Morning, in Bed: But if you heat {αβγδ}( which is Pomgranate-Rind) with it, it will do more good. Hedone is a Sea-fish, which is called Aphydion, being often eaten, it cures the bloody Flux, and Pains in the Kidneys. And in Hephaestion's, i.e. Vulcane's ston, which is called Pyrites, or the Fire-stone, if any one engrave a Phoenicopterus, and at its Feet a Scorpion, and put under the ston the Root of the Herb, he will have a Phylactery, and a Guard, or a Treacle against poisonous Stings; it also drives away nocturnal Phantasms, and all Witchcraft, and is good also for those that are troubled with the ston. Being worn, it confers the Grace and virtue of Prudence. Saturnius himself wore it, and Phaos in Heaven; and in Earth it possesses Gold and Silver; it destroys Infirmity, and cruel Poverty, and the evil Bonds of Necessity, that which gives Trouble is not good; but forces every Earth, beating Men with the Degree of Fortune, binding them in Necessities. A certain Saturnine King Kiranis {αβγδ}, turning and rolling circular upon the Centre, with uncorrupt, and never-failing Changes, whirling all things from the East to the West, in the seven arctic, i.e. North, Stars, holding and moving all strange things. Soul, be thou content and sufficient in those things which thou actest in failing Time! and tho' thou be after Praegnation, yet presently thou knowest GOD in the Air, and in the Clouds; thou sufferest Infirmity upon the Earth, in which being an Inhabitant, thou art tormented. O blessed Soul! being thenceforth immortal, cease from corporeal Labours; tho' in these thou be fixed to the Body, yet seek Heavenly things, or from whence Water is? If thou wilt learn, I will declare to thee all things which thou bidst me. Heaven is Water and Fire, the Stars are visible, and unspeakable Darkness is above the Gods. And a Sphere rolling from East to West. And that which moves all things in the sphere with wakeful Winds, sets in the Sea. It brings Lightning, and dissolves the Air, it strikes with Thunder, and flashes out flaming Fire; it gives sweet Rain, and gives all Meat good for the Belly. And the Divine Virtue, which does this, itself hides all things that are Earth-born, Roots of Herbs, which are abroad among divers Generations of Men; and they are given for all four-footed Beasts, creeping things, and Fowls of the Air, which spontaneously do all things in their Nests and Dens for Man, all well coloured and green. Let what I said before suffice thee; I tell thee in Prose, and show unto thee all the Divinations of the Soul concerning all Virtues; I will tell thee more, when they are revealed. For I have  told future things in Metre, or Verse, concerning the fore-knowledge of other Animals. For the prescience of those things that are in Heaven and in Earth, and what any one has in his Soul; and whatever things are done in Climates and Cities, and all future things to Men. There is an Animal flying in the Air, which is called {αβγδ}, upupa, or Houp, of seven Colours, having a Crest on his Head, the height of two Fingers, which extends and contracts. And it is of four Colours, that it may be directed to the four Seasons of the Year. This bide is called Cucubas, as it is written concerning the same, in a former Book, that is called Archaicus. And this Animal is sacred. Take therefore this bide, and tear it in pieces, and while it is panting, swallow its Heart, turning to the Sun, in the beginning of the first, or eighth Hour, on Saturday, the Moon being Oriental, and drink upon it Milk of a Black Cow, with a little Honey in the Drink. See that you swallow the Heart sound and entire, and you will foreknow what things will be in Heaven, and what on Earth, and whatever any one has in his Soul, or whatever is done in Climates, and in Cities, and what will come to all Men. And this will be the Composition of the Honey; Of Honey lb j. ℥ ss. living Magnet powdered ℥ ij. and tender Stalks of the Herb Eryngo ℥ vij. When these are bruised, make them up with the Honey. And you may have another Magnet, wherein a Cucubas, i.e. an Houp is engraven, all which you must dip in the Composition of the Honey. And when you would foreknow any thing, first taste it with the Finger, and put the engraven Load-stone about your Neck, and you shall foreknow whatever you please. And if you put another Liver and Heart of a Cucufa into the Confection, it will be better, because it will make you of a stronger Memory. And that the Heart may not be corrupted in him that eats it, by six-footed Creatures, because he that eats this Honey, and swallows this Heart, uses to breed many Lice; it is necessary, that he be anointed first with this oil. Take of oil ℥ vijss. of Staves-acre bruised ℥ ij. beat them well up into one, put it up, and keep it in readiness. And when there is occasion for it, then anoint yourself in Bed. If therefore thou foreknowest, foretell to me, whether the Soul be mortal, or immortal? He answering, saith, Hear, my Son! Very many false Sophisters are mistaken in the Understanding of the immortal Soul; but it discerns itself. Why is it, that the Body is at rest in Bed, and the Soul is conversant in its proper place, i.e. in the Air, whence also we took this Soul, and sees what things are done in other Climates? Many times also there is a sympathy, as between the Mother and the Child, and it is solicitous for the Body in which it inhabits, and before the time foresees and divines future things, whether they be good or evil, which is called a Dream. Then it returns to the Body, and its proper Habitation, and rising it searches out. Hence it may appear to thee, that the Soul is immortal and incorporeal. Thus says Harpocration, finishing this Letter in this place. But Kiranis in some things says otherwise; and in other things agreeing, he says concerning the eating of the Houp, that from it there is prescience of all worldly things. Then he said this; Because the Head and Heart and the utmost Root of Eryngo is hard to be found; if you will find it without difficulty, you must do thus: Take the Seed of Eryngo and the Earth on which it grows, and put the Earth and Seed into a Potter's or wooden Vessel, and sprinkle it sometimes with water, and when the Herb is sprung up, and is come to maturity, like other Eryngoes, then seek it, as it becomes you, fasting and chast, and you will find the Gorgon's head. Keep this, and have it in readiness. Take therefore the Hairs of a Phoca, the Seal, which are between his Nose and his Mouth, and the green Jasper ston, and the Heart and Liver of the Houp, and the Roots of the Gorgon of Eryngo, and the seed of {αβγδ}, i. e. upright Vervein, and the clean Blood of Chrysanthemum, i.e. the Juice of the Herb Plumaria or Stoechas, and the extremity of the heart of the Seal, and moreover the Crest of a Houp's head also; it were better if you had of all the foresaid sorts. Which you must wrap up with a little Moss with Thymiama of four sorts, and put it in the skin of an Ichneumon, or Seal, or St●g, or Crow, or vulture, and wear it chastened. And if you guild the outside, it will be better, for you will acquire whatever you have a mind to, you will be beloved of Men and Women, and you will appear reverend, and peaceful, and quiet: you will tame wild Beasts, and conquer your Enemies. And if you put the right eye of a Wolf into the foresaid things, you will overcome all wild Beasts, and you will acquire by all things. Devils and wild Beasts will fly you, and you will be most happy, and healthful, and altogether unhurt. For I mixed also the Rennet of a Sea-Calf, I overcame all my Enemies, and I was invincible. For he that carries this Phylactery, shall have Gifts from GOD, which he hoped not for, and he shall be honoured on every hand, conquering all men in Word and Work, deliveing from all danger, and from the Devil, and from Witchcraft, and from all Evil. I will say further: It averts all evil, and confers all good. This also is a prognostic, which only GOD and you must know. This Letter of Kirani is perfect.   

LETTER VIII. Θ.  
{αβγδ}, Herba Dionysi, Ivy. Thyr, a bide. Thyrsites a ston. {αβγδ}, a Fish.  
Thyrsites or Thyrsus the Herb of Bacchus, fruitful, and profitable for all things. Thyr is a bide like the Hawk of the Sea, having a divine Efficacy. Thyrsite● is a ston like to Coral. Thynnus, a ●●ny, is a Sea-fish, and is eaten, like to a whiteing, which being great is known indeed. Balkera is Bacchus his Plant. In the Feasts of Bacchus they put the Thyrsus upon the Wine-presses, the plant of the earth is given to Men for cheerfulness, the Virtues whereof I now will tell. It is good in Wine to pour out in the Presses, what Mortals soever have it given them; I will also say this in Verse, To see or know is of the Earth. For Joy and Mirth in Drink. If you bruise ℥ ij of this Plant, and ℥ j of the ston, and shall say over it the Name of Bacchus, shall put it into a Flagon of Wine, out of which they all drink Wine, having drunk but one Glass they will all be mellow, as if they were drunk, and returning thanks they will say; Thou hast made us merry, O Lord! Here Friends may drink, and go away merry and rejoicing; If you put the right eye of a Thynnus( or Tuny) or of an Anthynnus in Wine, the Friends that are sate down will break into Joy without drinking, and they will thank you, as if they were merry. For Discord at a Feast; And if you cut the Wing or the top of a Feather of the bide Thyr with a Sword that is all Iron, and put it into a Vessel of Wine, saying over it the Name of Bacchus, and when you have a mind, make them that are sate down spill it, that they may  shed blood and beat one another, and it will be so. That you may be without Drunkenness, and for all favour and health; In the ston Thyrsites engrave the bide Thyr and Bacchus holding the bide, and under the ston enclose the Root of the Herb, and wear it, and you will be without Drunkenness, and will have Favour with all men, and moreover you will be without danger and invincible in the Palace. For this is a divine Dionysiack, and weakens the strength of Bacchus. For so says Harpocration.   

LETTER IX. Ι.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Willow, a fruitless three. Jaspis, a Jasper ston, green. {αβγδ}, a Kite, a bide. {αβγδ}, a Fish.  
The Willow is a barren three. The Jasper is a known ston. The Kite is a bide known to all men. The Iülis is a particoloured Sea-fish, which is easily found. Bruise, I say, the green Leaves of Willow with a little Salt, and apply it to the aching Spleen, and the pain will presently cease. And if you would have the Spleen dissolved, boil the Bark with Oxymel, and give two spoonfuls fasting, or thus: Make it to boil to a third, and give to every one according to his own strength. And in a Jasper engrave a Kite tearing a Serpent, and under the ston put a ston taken out of the head of a Kite, and enclose it, give it to wear in the Breast, for it will drive away all pain of the Stomach, and will create an Appetite to eat, and good Digestion. For it has also other Virtues, let it be worn only in the Breast.   

LETTER X. Κ.  
{αβγδ}, Kynaedius, an Herb, a ston, a bide, and a Fish so called.  
Kynaedius is an Herb, which is also {αβγδ} Meretricis, Whores Vervein; centum capita {αβγδ}, the hundred heads of Venus. Kynaedius is a bide, which is called Iynx, as Kiranus says in the Verse of Theocritus; for Example's sake: 
{αβγδ}.  
Per te, Iynx, meus ille domum vir quaeso trahatur!  
Pray Iynx! fetch my Husband home again!  Some call it Jugius Ales. Kynaedius is a Fowl, and feeds like a Quail turning back its neck, as Harpocration says. This has three Stones about its neck, it has a long tongue, and is often dedicated to Venus. Kynaedius a Sea-fish, is about six fingers in greatness, it has a broad head like an Uletinus. It is a round Fish, of a translucid Body, so that its Backbone appears through its Body, as through a Glass; and it abounds in the Sea of Syria and Palestine, and of Syria of Lybia. This therefore has two Stones, which also have their proper actions, as we shall mention hereafter. And they are in the head. And it has also another ston in the third joint of the back towards the Tail, which is most powerful, and is requisite in the Spell or Ligature of {αβγδ}, i. e. Venus. The ston Kynaedius was unknown, because it is exceeding scarce, and is called Opisianus( {αβγδ}) i.e. late or slow. For it is Saturnine. This ston is double or twofold: One is obscure and black; the other is black indeed, but bright and shining like Glass. This is that which many seek, and do not know it: for it is the Dragon's ston. If therefore with a little of the Herb and Vulture's dung you make a Fume under a Peach-Tree, the Leaves will fall. That a man's Member cannot be erect, till what is laid be removed. And if one lay the Herb under the Pillow, he that lies upon it shall not erect, aed if you give a little of the Herb powdered in drink to a Man, he will not erect to coition for seven dayes. That a Cock may not tread an Hen; Give it to a Cock in Bran or Paste, and he will not tread a Hen. That a man for one day may be {αβγδ}, i. e. a Fornicator; That which is in the Fish Kynaedius, in the third joint of the back-bone, if you give it in meat or drink, a man will be a manifest Fornicator for one day. To make a Cock tread a Cock; If you give it to a Cock with Paste, he will get upon other Cocks, and upon any Male Animal. If therefore any thing take this ston, it will get upon the like animal, as upon a Female. And the aforesaid ston does all these things. To obtain favour and friendship; If any one carry the Tongue of the bide in a Plate of Gold, he shall have Favour, and be beloved of all. To make Men soft; if the ends of the wings, of the Flesh( I mean) not of the Feathers, be secretly given to a Man, or to any Male Animal, he will become soft, and do female works. For Favour; And if any one carry the right eye under an immaculate sapphire ston, whereon Venus is engraven, he will be gracious and acceptable to all, and will overcome in every Consistory. And the left eye carried by a Woman, will do the same. To make the Eyes bloodshot; The Blood put in a plate for a Collyrium, and found, makes the eyes bloodshot. For a Tertian and a Quartan Ague; And the Heart tied about one, when the Moon is in the Wane, cures People of Tertian and Quartan Agues. For an incurable headache; And the Brain of the bide given secretly in Drink or Meat, eases an incurable headache. For hepatic Persons; And its Liver boiled with Salt and Water cures hepatic Persons. Of Goddess Venus her Girdle; The kind of Venus. The first and strong Cestus, i.e. Girdle, mollifies the hearts of Men, and of all Animals, and the Natures of the Males especially, so that the touching or carrying of this makes them soft and effeminate. Further also; Upon the ston Opsarius engrave a Man having his Privities cut off, placed or lying at his Feet, and his hands contracted underneath; and himself reaching down to his Privities, and behind his back let there be Venus, having back to back, she turning her self, and seeing him. Enclose therefore the ston of the Fish Cynaedius. But if you have not one of them which are under the head, you must put underneath the Root of the Herb, and the end of the bide's left wing. Enclose it in a large Gold Box, and you must put it into a thong of the nerve of a Hawk's Stomach, let it be thin, sewing it in the middle of the thong or nerve, that it do not appear. This is that which is painted in the head of Venus, comprehended in a thong or ligature, which is called Cestus. That a Male may not erect; If any one touch a Male with the thong or ligature, he will not erect, and if he carries it unknowingly, he grows effeminate. And if he carry any of the ston of the Fish, he will be altogether luxurious, not returning to his Nature. And if a Woman carry this ligature, none will carnally lye with her. For the Man cannot erect. And the measure of the ligature in respect of breadth, must be two fingers; of length, five palms. Another Preparation of Venus; There is also another Vessel or Preparation of Venus, which the Queens of Venus carry in pure Gold, and whoever else are able. These also must be in a ligature, which is made of a nerve in such a manner, as that the stones appear not, having a Sculpture, as is subjoined. And the first must be ( Lapis Sulphureus) Lechnitis or Kerannitis in the middle of the thong or ligature, having Mars armed engraven. In this let there be Diamond stones sewed, having Venus with a thorn about her feet. And again on the other side two immaculate winged Creatures, having Venus tied by her hair to Love standing by. Again also other two stones on each side, and in like manner a Sardinian engraven, having on each side a Sun drawn with four Colts, that is, a Coach, and a Moon with two Bulls, each ston having each: And other two stones on each side, having Mercury engraven, with the rod of a sceptre in his right hand: And other two Anankitae, i.e. true Unions or white Pearl, having on each side Erachmites, i.e. reins, the Goddess Nemesis having her foot upon a wheel, and holding a Rod. And other two immaculate Pearls, being on each side not engraven, and put in the Cestus; so that in all there are thirteen Stones fixed in Golden Cases, and so sewed in a ligature, that they may not be seen by the Crowd. And there is a twofold holy ligature, and it follows: Another ston may be carried, hung about the neck, which is called {αβγδ}, i. e. Lunar ston, in which the increase of the Moon and its Divinity appears. And let it have a Moon engraven, and underneath the ston the Root of barren Selinum, that is, parsley, in a Gold Case. And this is worn about the neck. For wonderful and magnificent Acts; This Mystery worn makes the wearer divine, and he is in veneration and adored by all. For many Kings carry it under-hand, or within their Crown, as a Cestus, so that it may be seen of none. And they say, that a Selenites worn in a Ring does the same. But that we may not destroy our Book, let this Discourse suffice, for it has great Virtues. Wherefore, my Son! I have expounded and written these things with great study and labour. And know this, that no one else has it. Wherefore give this Divine Mystery to no man.   

LETTER XI. Λ.  
{αβγδ}, the Frankincense three. Lyngurius, a ston. Lynx, a Vulture. {αβγδ}, a Fish called a Bass.  
Libanus is a shrubby three, whose Gum fumigated raises divine Spirits. Lingurius is a ston about the Hills Lingui, thence so called. But some say it is the Gum of the Poplar three; however it is good. Lynx is a bide, which is called Gyps or a Vulture, a very strong Creature. Labrax is a Sea-fish called a Bass, known to all. Of these a soft eye-pleasing is made for all dimness of the Eyes, so that in three days it makes the Sight sharp. It is good for the beginning of a Suffusion, a Cataract, turning back of the Eye-lid, Roughness, dilatation of the Pupilla, Owl-sightedness, Watriness, Itchng, dryness, falling away of the hairs of the Eye-lids, eating away of the Corners of the Eyes, and for many other Diseases. Anointing with it is excellent good for all these things. And this is the Confection of it: Of Olibanum ℥ iv. Lapis Lyngurius ℥ ij. Vultures gull ℥ vj. Liver of a Bass ℥ iij. the best Honey ℥ vj When this is old, it is better. But Kirani's eye-pleasing was thus; Of Olibanum ℥ vj. gull of a Bass, gull of a vulture, each ℥ vj. Pepper ℥ iij. Honey without dross ℥ iij. In the ston Lyngurius engrave a Vulture, and put underneath a little Frankincense, and the top of the Bird's Wings, and carry it: for it will be good for the Pin and Web in the Eyes.   

LETTER XII. Μ.  
{αβγδ}, a Mulberry three. Migrios, a bide. Mydicus, a ston. Mormyros, a Fish known to all.  
The Mulberry-tree is known to all. Migrios the bide, is a Night-Raven, known to all. Mydicus, the ston, is dedicated to Venus. Mormyros is a little edible Sea-fish, like a Bass. To make a Diarrhoea and Evacuation; The Juice of the Root of the Mulberry-tree given secretly in meat or drink, purges, and causes a Diarrhoea. And if any one chew the inner Rind of the Root, and swallow his Spittle, and spit out the Substance, that man will die of a Diarrhoea. It is good for great pain in the Teeth called Grinders, and in the Gums, and does not suffer them to corrode, yea, it makes them that are corroded, fill without pain. Of the inner Rind ℥ ij. of sharp Vinegar ℥ xix. Bruise or shred the Rind, boil it half away; wash the Mouth with it morning and evening. For Womens Flux of Blood from the Matrix or from the Arse; And we have discoursed this by the divine power. Some therefore of the boughs of the Mulberry three are upright, others look down to the ground, and they have large Buds like an Egg. If any man then shall stand upright on his feet, and shall look towards the southwest wind, and with two fingers of his left hand shall raise the bud of the twig of a Branch that looks upward, extending and pulling it towards the East, and shall wrap it up in true Purple or read, and tie it about, and shall touch a Woman that is troubled with a flux of Blood from the Matrix or Arse, the Flux will stop in three days. For such as spit Blood; But if a man pluck a Bud that looks downward, as before was said, i.e. standing, and shall tie it up, he will stop spitting of Blood in three dayes. These are the things they call Anacardia; those indeed that look upwards cure inferior Fluxes in so many dayes, and those that look downward, cure the superior. And this is that for the Flux of Blood, which they call {αβγδ} or {αβγδ}. For the Enteridae, which are called Exophanae, or {αβγδ}, i. e. the hemorrhoids. Indeed many false Sophisters are mistaken. But for the Enteridae, which are called hemorrhoids and Exochades, a Medicine is made. It is of the unripe Juice of the Mulberry ℥ ij. Chalcitis ℥ xij. Lapis Indicus ℥ iv. The ends of seven Crows wings with a little Wine, mix it with a Feather of the same wings, till it is soft and tough like glue. For the inner hemorrhoids make Suppositories or Clysters, and for the Exochades or outer, make inunctions. And in the Name of GOD use this Ligature. In a little ston engrave the Fish Mormyrus, and enclose it in an Iron Box, and put under it a Bud of Mulberry-tree looking upward, and carry it. It will be good for hemorrhoids and the Arse. For spitting of Blood, and Bleeding at the Nose, and any Diseases above; A Purge also is prepared of the Root of the Mulberry-tree. O Mulberry-tree! a potent Plant, not created for a few things! For thy Juice mixed equally with the Juice of the Root of the Herb Stratiotes of Persia, i.e. savoury, and in like manner the Juice of Tithymal and Scammony equally, mix them all equally, and boil thrice as much Honey, to the thickness of an ointment, and when you have taken it off, put it up in a Glass Bottle, and give of it to one fasting and that keeps an exact Diet. But if you give above the bigness of a Bean, he that takes it will be seized with a Vomiting and looseness, and will not live a day. Give nothing superfluous in Meat or Drink, but give to every one according to the strength of the Taker.   

LETTER XIII. Ν.  
{αβγδ}, an Herb. Naucrates, a Fish. {αβγδ}, a bide. Nemesites, a ston.  
{αβγδ} is the herb Florinus, i.e. Tapsus Barbatus or Mullein: There are seven sorts of this Herb. It differs therefore as much as the Leaves, which ascend a cubit above the Earth, They burn the Leaves of this in Lamps for Wieks. For they have them in {αβγδ}( i.e. in Necromancy) which is performed in a Shell, which they do to this day. Wherefore they call this herb Nekya. For {αβγδ} signifies dead. {αβγδ}, i. e. a Duck, is a bide swimming in Rivers, about the bigness of a Hen. {αβγδ} is the Sea-fish {αβγδ}, or Remora, i.e. Stop-ship; if this stick to a Ship under Sail, it will not suffer the Ship to stir, it would break first, or a three might sooner be plucked up by the roots. For the Gout; This whole Fish boiled in oil, to the thickness of Wax, then the oil strained out, and boiled to the thickness of a Plaster, this applied Plasterwise cures the Gout. Nemesites is a ston from the Altar of Nemesia, a Goddess of the Athenians, It is an excellent ston. Let Nemesis therefore be engraven on that ston, having one of her Feet upon a Wheel. Her Favour is like a Virgin's, holding in her left hand a Pirrhis, i.e. an ell or Measure, and in her right hand a Rod, and with one foot treading upon an ox. And enclose under it the ston Acronius, and a little of the Mulberry-tree. If therefore you show that Finger to one possessed, the Devil will immediately confess himself and be gone. It is good also for Phantasms, and Dreams of Devils, and for Childrens Frights, and Nightly Fears. But the Wearer must abstain from all polluted and unclean things. For this Ring being worn, shows the quantity of the years of life, and the quality of death, and the place. If you sew a little of the bones of the short Fish Remora in a Horses hid, and have it with you when you take shipping, the Ship will not budge in the water at hoisting Sail, unless what is put there be taken away, or you go out of the Ship. For the fore-knowledge of Life and Death; as I said before, you must use the praegustation, or praecognition of the Hawk.   

LETTER XIV. Ξ.  
{αβγδ}, an Herb. Xiphius, a ston. Xiphius, a bide. {αβγδ}, a Fish known to all, called Spatha or Gladius.  
Xiphion, i.e. Gladiole, is an herb, which abounds in all Lands; it has Leaves like Corn, but longer. It grows in ploughed grounds with Corn, some call it Machaera, i.e. a Knife or Skien, others {αβγδ}, a Sword. It ascends upright from the ground as one Arm; and it is but of one Branch. It has a Gold coloured, purplish, sweet-sented Flower. Shepherds make Garlands of it in the Spring time. Xiphias a kind of Sapphire, a ston known to all, this is as plentiful as Pebbles in every Land, it is of colour like to Calenos. In the Region of Syria they use this at the burnt Sacrifice of four-footed Beasts. Xiphius, the bide, is a kind of Hawk, which is called Kydos. Xiphias the Fish is particoloured, little and small like the Iülis. The Flower therefore and Root of the Herb if a quantity be kept in a Jar or Hogshead of oil, and continue there for some time, when you take it out and put it up again, it will be the Unguent, that is required in the Sacred Books, which in the Country of Melanitis is called Susinum. About which the old Prophets are mistaken. But in the Country of Syria the Plant is called Susannum, and in Melanitis Susinum. This Herb has two roots, one above and another below. If therefore you give the upper Root to any one mixed in Wine, to drink, he will erect: But of any one drink the lower, it will do the contrary, and he will be without seed. In the ston therefore engrave a Hawk, and under its feet a Fish, and enclose the Root of the Herb under the ston, and keep it. This Ring is chast, and so is he that wears it. If therefore you have it about you, in the Oracle you will see, what you have a mind to. And if you put it upon any Animal, or upon any framed Idol, it will give you an Oracle concerning all that, which you have a mind to know. And the Head of the Fish put into a suffumigation with Myrrh, makes them that smell it seem as if they were possessed with the Devil. But do you anoint your Nose with strong ointment, and you will no way be enraged or mad.   

LETTER XV. Ο.  
{αβγδ}, an Herb. {αβγδ}, a bide. Orphos, a Fish. {αβγδ}, a ston known to all.  
Onothyris or Onothyrsis is an Herb, some call it {αβγδ}, i. e. Asses Mallow, this is a Rose, of which they make Garlands; It has Leaves like domestic Mallow. This by the Greeks is called {αβγδ}, i. e. Malvaviscus Marsh-Mallow. Ortyx, a Quail, is a bide known to all, yet its Nature is not easily known; for there is one thing concerning this, unknown. For when there are great Storms upon the Coasts of Lybia deserta, the Sea casts up great Tunnies upon the shore, and these breed Worms for fourteen dayes, and grow to be as big as Flies, then as Locusts, which being augmented in bigness, become Birds, called Quails. After this the South or southwest Wind blowing strong, they pass the Seas into Pamphylia or Cilicia and Ireland, and consequently, the North-wind blowing, they go to the Sea-coasts of the Country of Syria and the other parts of the Land of Melanitis. But abominable false Sophisters say, they are chast, whereas they know not the Nature of them. Orphos is an edible Sea-fish, much like a Tench. Onychites is a Sardonyx ston known to all. The Root therefore of the Herb boiled with oil and the Fat of a Quail, and then a little Wax added, is good for hardness of the Matrix, and Swellings, and Ulcers, and Itchings, and all other Womens Diseases in the Matrix. And it is put into Medicines for the Kidneys. And it is good for Cheironia, i.e. the King's Evil. The Eyes of a Quail, with the Root of the Herb hung about one, diminish a Quotidian and Quartan could Fit in the wain of the Moon. For Illusion; Dissolve the Eyes of the Quail or of the Sea-Tench with a little water in a Glass-Vessel for seven dayes, then add a little oil: Put a little of this in the Candle, or only anoint a Rag, and light it among the Company, and they will look upon themselves like Devils on fire, so that every one will run his way. In the Sardonyx ston engrave a Quail, and under its Feet a Sea-Tench, and put a little of the foresaid Confection under the ston in the hollow of the Ring. And when you are willing not to be seen, anoint your Face all over with the foresaid Confection, and wear the Ring, and no Man shall see you, if you do any thing in the House; no, not if you should take any thing away that is in the House.   

LETTER XVI. Π.  
{αβγδ}, some call it {αβγδ}, Knot-grass. Porphyrius, a pluvial bide, or Pluver, which abounds in Rivers. {αβγδ}, a sea shell-fish, the Purple: some call it Scolecium, like to a Wilk. Porphyrius, the Porphyry-stone, well known in the Country of Melanitis.  
This Root therefore taken up in the Wane of the Moon, and carried about one, suffers not the Eyes to be weak. And its Juice prepared, as we shall set down hereafter, is good for many Diseases in the Eyes. For the Eyes of Man are subject to, and tormented with many Diseases. And that I may not depart from what I say, but make good my word: In the Eye-lids there happen Itching, Nits, Lice, falling of the Hair, entangling of the Hair, Baldness, Grando, Hordeolum, Warts, Purblindness, thickness of the Eye-lids, here are eleven. About the {αβγδ}, or skin of the Eye-lids, Roughness, Watriness, Ulcers, Hairiness, here are four. About the Corners, scabbiness, dryness, Agethinos, Adustion, {αβγδ}, serix, freting, eating away, here are nine. About the Ball of the Eye, Pterygium, Albula, {αβγδ}, uva visûs, here are nine. About the Pupil, or Sight, there are nebula or nubes, hebetatio, latitudo pupillae, effusio, effectio, defectio, atrophia, or {αβγδ}, glaucedo, {αβγδ}, geminae pupillae, {αβγδ}, metalopa, myops, obscuratio, here are twelve. In the whole substance of the Eye, there are {αβγδ}, combustio, suffusio, apostema, comestio, ulcus, circumdolor, psydrakium, here are ten. And there are several sorts of Rheums, lene, {αβγδ}, subitum, calidum, dulce, frigidum, tepidum, tenue, acre, antiquum& arenosum, aluminosum, here are eleven Rheums, and in all fifty five Diseases. And this is the Preparation of the Confection for all the foresaid Diseases: Juice of the Herb ℥ vj. Licium Indicum ℥ vj. Myrrh, Saffron, Frankincense, Opium, each ℥ vij. black Acacia ℥ xij. Rain-water ℥ v. Beat them up together, and keep it in a Glass Vessel. But it is better to put in Wine for Water. This is a most precious thing for the Rheum, and for all Diseases of the Eyes, and Dimness; for it stops every Rheum. Moreover anointing with it in the Bathe, and washing it off, is a great help for all pains. For the Hemicrania. And the raw Flesh of the Purple-fish, applied Plaster-wise to the Forehead, assuages the Hemicrania. And in the Porphyry-stone engrave the bide, and under its Feet Kirikium, or the Purple-fish, and put under the ston the end of the Birds Wings, and enclose it, and wear it against every headache, and every Hemicrania. And it is also good for rheumatic Eyes. In the Wain of the Moon make the Ring, and the eye-pleasing.   

LETTER XVII. Ρ.  
{αβγδ}, a Plant. Romphea, the bide {αβγδ}, an Owl with long Ears well known to all. {αβγδ}, a Sea-fish, having as it were a Needle in its Mouth. {αβγδ}, a parti-coloured ston, a horned ston of the end of the Rhinoceros Nose. For it is like a Horn.  
If therefore you put a Branch of the Plant in the House, all Devils will fly away. And the Juice of the Plant, and the Fruit with Honey, applied to the Eye, sharpens the sight. And if it be applied alone, it takes out white Specks in the Eye. But boil it to a Thickness. And the Blood of the Owl, if you anoint with it, and the Juice of the Herb, and Honey, will sharpen the sight, and take away a suffusion. And let an Owl be engraven in the ston, and at its Feet the Needle-fish, and under the ston put the Root of the Herb. He that carries this shall put Devils to flight. And if you lay it under the Head of any one that knows it not, he will not sleep. In like manner also, if you cut off the Head of a living Owl, and tie it in a black Skin, and apply it to any ones left Arm, he will not sleep, till it be taken from him.   

LETTER XVIII. Σ.  
{αβγδ}, an Herb. {αβγδ}, a bide, Struthiogambarum, an ostrich. {αβγδ}, a Fish, a Sea-Cow. Saphirus, a Saphire-stone.  
Satyrion is an Herb like Spinosa, and it starts up with its whole Stalk from the Ground; it is two Palms in height, full of Seed: It and the Seed have a waterish pale Colour. The ostrich is a known bide. The Sea-Cow is an edible Fish, well coloured and known. The immaculate sapphire is dedicated to Venus. Therefore the Preparation of the Herb is in this manner; For spent and barren Women, and for Coition, and for such as have a watery and thin seed, and which cannot conceive, and such as are withered and dry: For this is arid and delectable, and gives Conception. If before Coition, you strew it on the virile Member, anointed with Honey, the Woman will be debilitated beyond measure. And if the Woman be so anointed, the Intenseness of the Act will be great: For it dries up Nature, and causes Conception, and makes barren Women conceive. And it is prepared thus: Of Satyrion Seed ℥ ij. and Seed of Pepper ℥ j. Alumen scissile ℥ j.( but according to another Book) ℥ ij. Stypteriae rotunda, i.e. common alum ℥ ij. Aromate aridis ℥ ij. Lay it up in a Vessel, and communicate it to no man. The Preparation, or Confection of Aromate aridis is thus, Costus ℥ iij. Spikenard ℥ ss.( in another Book ℥ iij.) Carpobalsamum ℥ iij. Amomum ℥ ss.( in another place ℥ v.) Cloves ℥ ij. Cassia ℥ ij. Storax ℥ v. Opobalsamum ℥ j. Roses exungulated ℥ iiij. Musk ℈ ss. Powder the dry things very finely, and sift them well. Then rub the Storax a long time apart, and then with the beaten Roses and Balsam, and all mixed together, make Trochiscs: Afterwards suffumigate them, and dry them in a {αβγδ}, thylnum of Tree-Moss and Storax, and mastic, and Quails Claws, and Costus, which being dried, put them up in a Glass Vessel, and when you have occasion for Conception, powder two Trochiscs. And this is Confectio aromatis sicca. And the bide ostrich has an Echidirum, which is called suffuvium aridum, the inner Skin of the Gizzard: This powdered, and given in Drink secretly, procures Love 〈◇〉 Luxury. And the ston of the Echinus, i.e. of the Gizzard of an ostrich, with one Grain of Satyrion, powdered and given in Meat or Drink secretly, procures great Intenseness to them especially, who are impotent in Coition. And the ston itself, only hung about the Neck, causes good Digestion, and Intenseness in Coition. And the ston of the right Temple of the Sea-Cow, carried about one, causes Intenseness, or Erection. And the left ston does the contrary. And the Fat of the Fish causes great Delights, beaten up, or dissolved with Honey, and anointed on both Genitals. Engrave therefore upon a Saphire-stone an ostrich holding a Sea-Cow in its Mouth, and put underneath a grain of Satyrium and a little of the ston, which is in the Echinus or Gizzard of the same bide, and enclosing it, wear it, against all indigestion and for Tension and Love. For it is very good for those that desire to use much Coition, and for old Men. And it makes him that wears it, gracious.   

LETTER XIX. Τ.  
Trifolium, Trefoil, a known Herb. {αβγδ}, the Peacock, a delectable and acceptable bide, which all do know. {αβγδ}, a Turtle, a Sea-fish known to all, whose good and bad is known. Taïtis, a ston as beautiful as a Peacock, and like one.  
Engrave therefore in the ston a Peacock, holding a Sea-Turtle, and under the ston the Peacock's voice ajo, and put the Roots underneath. For this carried about one is a great Miracle for Victory and Peace, and Stability, and all Gain; so that the very Divinity rejoices in it. And it shows in Sleep whatever you would. For if you place it under your Head, in great rest, you shall see in a Dream what you have a mind to. And give this Ring to no other Body. For such another is not found. And by the ston that is in the Head of a Peacock, given in Drink with your own Sweat, you may obtain any Virgin which you have a mind to.   

LETTER XX. Υ.  
{αβγδ}, is an Herb stupendously good; some call it Dionysiaca, i.e. Bacchus and Jove their Herb, {αβγδ}, it is a Summer Plant. Yperionis avis is the Female Eagle, like to the Male Eagle. {αβγδ}, a Sea-fish not edible. Yenos, a ston which is found in Rivers, it is a ston having a very bloody. Colour.  
Engrave therefore in the ston an Eagle tearing the Fish, and under the ston put a Root of the Herb, and the end of a Feather of the Eagle's Wing, and if you have it not, put in a Hawk's Feather, and enclosing it, you will have a great Phylactery for all Fits of the Mother and Swimmings in the Head, and Flux of Blood, and further for all Diseases of the Mother, except the falling down of the Womb. Give it therefore to Women Patients as a great Mystery.   

LETTER XXI. φ.  
{αβγδ} is an Herb, which is called {αβγδ}, i. e. Rana, an evil Plant. The form of it is as apium raninum: And it grows in Waters, being of a burning quality. {αβγδ} is a bide, and some call it Ictaeris, others a green bide; it is of the bigness as a Sparrow. {αβγδ}, a Seal or Sea-Calf, viz. an excellent Sea-Animal having hands like a Man, a Face like a Calf or a Cow. {αβγδ}, some call it {αβγδ}, a Toad-stone.  
The Virtue of the Herb therefore is strong as Iron, viz. it breaks Apostemes, Kernels, Glands, and all things that are purulent. And you shall cause a Plaster or ointment to be laid on but for three hours, then take it away, and you will find the Body marked and hurt: But in hard Bodies you may let it lye on longer. And after incision use those things, which cleanse and draw, and then Healers. And this is the Rosary. Of the Herb Batrachia ℥ iv. arsenic ℥ iv. Chalcitis ℥ iv. Lathyridon ℥ iv. the Breasts of Cantharides, throwing away the wings and legs ℥ vj▪ quick Lime ℥ j.( in another place ℥ viij.) oil of Cedar, or Roses, or Costus what is sufficient; French Soap ℥ iv. Beat them together carefully, and make a Plaster, and lay it up in a Glass Vessel. Use it, and take care you lay it not upon a Nerve or Muscle, and make a Convulsion. And it is good also for an Aegilops and Trichiasis, applied after they appear to be risen. The hairs also of a Seal, which are found between its Nose and its Mouth, the greater and harsher of them plucked, with the middle of a Seal's Heart, and the Heart of a Houp, and a little of the Liver of a Seal, and some Chrysanthemum or Stoechas or herb Plumaria, of Ants herb, and Iynx, of the Tongue of an ostrich, and a little Musk in Deer's Skin, and tie up the right Eye of a Wolf; and keep it for a great Phylactery for all Friendship, and obtaining of Victory. For it dissolves all Enmity, and confers Friendship, it also delivers from all necessity and difficulty of Times, and from danger, and from all tempests and waves of the Sea, and from wild Beasts, and from Pirates and Thieves by Sea or Land, and from Devils and Sickness; for it affords health, and good acts, and good works, opportunity, and abundance of all good things, and truly it is the great Protection of GOD, especially if it have the Root or Fruit of Paeony in it. And the Nails of a Seal's hands, carried about one or worn, frustrate all Treacheries and Fascinations. Therefore it will not be inconvenient neither, to put a Nail of the right hand into this Phylactery. And the Hairs of a Seal put into an Unguent, and tied about one in a Girdle, cures all pain of the loins and Kidneys. Being put also in the shoes they cure the Gout and Bloody Flux. And likewise the Fat of a Seal, mixed with ointment of Roses, is good for Gouty persons. And if one tie the Heart of it to the Mast of a Ship, the Ship will never suffer shipwreck. And if you hang its Skin at the Sayl-yard or at the Mast of a Ship, it will not be struck by Thunder. And the bide eaten cures Icterick Persons. And its Claws hung about one cure the could Fit of a Quotidian, Tertian and Quartan Ague. And its Heart tied in a Cloth, and worn upon the Arms, puts off a Tertian, and Quartan, and an {αβγδ}. In a Toadstone therefore engrave a Hawk, and at its feet the Frog-Fish, and enclose the Tongue of a Frog, and the root of the Herb, and the end of the Tongue of the bide, and give it to whom you please to carry. For it stops all Fluxes of Blood, and cures the Jaundice. It is good also for such as spit blood, and for the Flux of Women, and is good for the a●… of Fury above the Anger of ones Enemies, especially if the hairs of a Seal be enclosed i●… it.

Frankincense ʒiv. of the Herb chameleon iij Seeds, which are called Cuidius Coccus. Bruise them, and boil them with Hydromel, till it grow as thick as an Electuary, and put it up in a Glass Vessel, and keep it covered. But when you put this up, put into it the heart of a Houp, and its Blood; and again upon this, swallow another heart of a Houp, and Hydromel after it, and a little of the Composition, and you will be perfect all the time of your Life. And it is good, if you dip the foresaid stones in the same Composition, and so you will provide for yourself when you want any thing, or you shall keep a Ring so, and you will be perfect. When therefore you would foreknow, or know, whatever is done in the World, or in thy own House, or in another House, concerning a Man or a Woman, or a Thief; taste first with one finger of the Composition, and drink devoutly, and afterwards Hydromel, and carry the aforesaid Phylactery about your neck, so that it may reach your Heart and Stomach, and you will be a Fore-knower of all things. Whatever you have a mind to know concerning the life of a Man or Woman, their Actions and Generations, and Lots or Fortunes, and concerning Thieves and Fugitives, where and how they are; as a wise Man you shall have Science of, and know, and discern every thing.   

LETTER XXII. Χ. {αβγδ}, i. e. Golden-Flour, is an Herb known to all. {αβγδ}, Golden-wing, is a bide of the bigness of a Quail. {αβγδ}( or rather {αβγδ}) an edible Sea-fish known to all, a Guilt-head. {αβγδ}, a speckled ston, and at it were Golden.  
The Flower therefore of Chrysanthemum is of a Gold colour, and there are Chives in the middle of the Flower, like Ants, little and black, having little wings. This is called Man's Blood. This therefore is gathered before the rising of the Sun, the Sun being in Aries, and is put in a Glass Vessel with oil of Roses and the Flower of the Herb: Then coming in the Morning, take chastened a little of it, and anoint your Face, and go away confidently, for it will make you amiable, and acceptable, and efficacious with all Men, and for all things. And if you do this at the Sun-rising, it will be the more effectual. And it is good for infortunate degrees, inefficacy and such lke. The Root therefore of the Herb with the ston out of the Fishes Head, tied in a Cloth, is good for pain of Childrens Teeth in breeding them. The Eyes of the bide Chrysepteris, hung about one, cure Tertian Agues. Its Hea●t also hung about the Neck cures Fevers. The ston also of the Head of it, hung about the neck, cures Consumptions. In the ston Chrysites engrave a bide having a round Crown, and at its feet the Fish, and underneath enclose the Root of the Herb: Give it to wear against Pains of the Stomach, and Fits of the Mother, and the ston in the Kidneys. And it makes the wearer acceptable and amiable in all all things. And it is good for Fevers, if it be put in oil, and unction be made with that oil, at Sun-setting. And it has other Efficacies. A Drink for Love, if you infuse it in Wine and drink it. And if any one have the ston of the Fishes Head with the foresaid things, it will be very good good for Phthisical People.   

LETTER XXIII. Ψ.  
{αβγδ}, is an Herb known to all, Fleawort. {αβγδ} marinus, a very little Animal which Fishers use. It sings by the shore. {αβγδ}, a well known bide, a Starling. Psorites, a ston called {αβγδ}, i. e. Vadum.  
boil therefore of the Seed of the Herb ℥ iij. in ℥ xviij. of Water to viscosity, strain it through a Cloth, and throw away the dregs, and in the Water which you strained out, put of Wax ℥ iij. of oil ℥ vj. Then boil them, till the Wax is melted, and rub it a long time in a Mortar. For this is a divine Plaster for the Gout and ston, and insensible Flesh. And if you put the ston into the Blood of the bide, and anoint the Face, you will cure Tertian and Quartan Agues. And if in the foresaid Juice of the Herb you dip the ston thrice, and anoint those, that have the headache, in the Face, you will keep them without pain. And Psyllus marinus, tied up with viij Seeds of Psyllium in a Cloth, and hung about the neck, drives away a Fit of a Tertian Ague. And boil a great many Psylli marini in Sea-water, and sprinkle it where there are many pleas, and there shall be no more. In the ston Psoricus engrave three Psylli marini, abiding under the green Reed, and enclose the Roots of the Herb, and give it to a little one to wear, that falls and beats out his Teeth. And if a Fisher carry it about him, watching all day by a River or Pond, he will make a great catching of Fish.   

LETTER XXIV.  
Ω. {αβγδ}, an edible Plant, known to all, Basil. {αβγδ}, a bide, Swift-wing, a venerable Animal, common to all, {αβγδ}, a Swallow. {αβγδ} a Sea-fish, Ibembras, another calls it Kymbros, a small edible Animal, which is called {αβγδ}, a Pilchard or Herring. {αβγδ}, i. e. velociter pariens, quickly bearing, is a ston less than the Eagle-stone and rattling. And it is smooth to the Touch.  
We know of the Plant Basil, that it has great Effects. If any one chew this Herb fasting, and before he have washed, and shall set it in the open Air for seven nights, in which time the Sun may not see it, taking it away indeed by day, and by night exposing it to the open Air, he will find a Scorpion of seven knots and green. If this sting any one, he will swell and die in three dayes. And if you put it into water or wine, and give it any one to drink, all his Body will grow dry and leprous. For of this come incurable Ulcers. And if you bruise the same Scorpion with the seed of the herb Scorpionia, and make Pills, afterwards dry them and put them up in a Glass, and give them any one that is epileptic, he will no longer be hurt. And you must give it for seven dayes alike, three Pills fasting, in temperate wine. But if you give it to a healthy Man, he will grow lunatic, and he will be incurable. And if you anoint People in Tertian Agues with the Juice of the herb Basil and swallows Dung, you will cure them. And if you give a swallows Feather, and Basil root, to a Woman in travail to hold, she will presently bring forth without any harm. If you put a Feather of the bide in any Unguent, you will have love and peace with all men. And concerning the common Scorpion I will hid nothing, because of the Error of the Foolish. For there is an Error implanted in the Air. If therefore you put a common Scorpion into ℥ vijss. of oil in the wain of the Moon, and keep it by you, and anoint any ones back, and the palms of his hands, and the soles of his feet; but you must anoint the back from the top to the bottom, and the forehead, and the head before the hour of the Fit, it will cure a Tertian, and a Quartan, and a Quotidian Ague. It also helps lunatics, and those that are possessed with the Devil. But if you put a Feather of the bide into other oil, and anoint him that is cured, his Disease will return, and he will die. And a common Scorpion roasted and eaten by those that have the ston, makes them piss the ston without torment. Tie up the sting of a Scorpion, and the extremity of the Herb Basil, in which the Seed is, and a swallows heart in a Deer's skin, and you will cure lunatics; and this Phylactery both casts out disobedient Devils, and compels them to go away. And dissolve the foresaid ston with the Juice of the Herb, and the blood of the bide, and the head of a Herring, and a little water, and put it up in a Glass Vessel, and when you have a mind to make show of your power, dip the fingers of your hand, either right or left, and touch the strongest ston that you please, or bone, or wood, it will presently break, so that you shall seem great. And if one put the head of a fresh Herring upon the Coals to fumigate, and he get upon the house in the night, he will think that all the Stars run into one. And if any one at the full Moon shall put the head of the Animal into a dry Fig, and shall lay it on the Fire, when the Air is still, he will see the Orb of the Moon as big as half of Heaven. Another Sight; And if you mix a little of the Sea-star witb it, you will see great Stichius, he is the Daemon Fortunae, made, and standing at your feet. And if you powder the ston Pyrites, and in like manner lay it on, there will be Thunder and Lightning. And if you also lay on Earth, which fell from an house upon a Man, there will be an Earthquake in the place. And {αβγδ} they call {αβγδ}, because it hath great virtue in the shoulders: for {αβγδ} is a shoulder. And the Confection of the Plaster is in this manner; Of the bones which are in the shoulders of Herrings, Mandrake apple, Henbane Seed, Opium, dried Roses each ℥ j.( in another place Bark of the Root of Ulmelea ℥ iij.) Colophonia lb j. Sulphur ℥ j. Nitre ℥ j. Make it as a Composition, and plaster whom you please with it, and he will quickly be rid of his Disease. But if you make a Fomentation applied for one day, and would give any relief, it will do no good. But it will not pass seven dayes: for this is the Medicine of things that are applied. And Maenis is so called, because it makes a Maniacal Confection in this manner, Take, I say, the eyes of a Maenis, and put them into Wine, with some Lily, and infuse them so for seven dayes, then put into the Wine of Mandrake Seeds ℥ xiv. Seed of {αβγδ}, i. e. Dog-Briar ℥ iv. of the Herb Scorpionia ℥ iv. boil it to half, and put it up and use it. For mad People; If you see any one in Madness, or a Mania, give him of the Wine ℥ j. with warm water, and he will be cured( in another Book it was ℥ viij.) And if you mix it with an Eye-water, and make an infusion, and use it for seven dayes in a suffusion of the Eyes, it will cure. And the Stones, that are in the head of a Maenis, powdered and mixed with the gull of a black Alanitus, make one to see those things that are in the dark. And if you mix it with a little of a living Magnet, and a little Rain-water, and anoint, you will see those things that are in the Heaven and in the Air for seven dayes. Engrave on the ston a Swallow, and at its Feet a Scorpion, standing upon a Herring, and under the ston enclose the eyes of a Scorpion, and a Herring, and the Roots of Scorpionia, and wear it. For it averts all venom of Animals, and will humble all Enemies and Traytors. If any one be stung by a Scorpion, sign the Wound with the Seal, and presently he will be cured. If any one be bitten by a mad Dog, and grow {αβγδ}, he cannot drink a more precious liquour. Take therefore the Ring, and put it in Water, and give him to drink, and he will be safe; and if you give it before Madness, he will not be mad. And if one give the Tongue of a young Maenis dissolved in water, and putting the Ring into it, give it a mad man to drink, he will be safe. But if you give it to one that is sober, it will make him raging mad. His Relief is, to give him a roasted Maenis to eat, and the man will become ignorant of the foresaid things. As Divine Kiranides says unto Men.  
Thus Harpocration finished this Book, and I found no other Book of them that are called Kiranides. But indeed in this, I say, Harpocration was dissonant from Kirani, or the one from the other: But we collected every Chapter out of each, as is set down, and we have made a Book, omitting nothing. And now we will pass to the other Books of Kirani, that we may reap benefit by them.    

KIRANI. Book II.  

Α.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a She-Goat, known to all, which is also called the Oracle. For if a man put a She-Goat's skin about one, troubled with the Falling Sickness, and led him along a River or the Sea-side, by and by he will be taken falling and trembling, and in an agony. For People in bloody Fluxes; And the Blood of a She-Goat heated over the Fire and eaten, cures Dysenterick persons, and effectually saves them, that have drank poisonous potions, and perfectly cures people of the dropsy. And the gull applied with Honey without dross cures Dimness, spick, and the Pin and Web in the Eyes. The Spleen also of a She-goat roasted and eaten, cures the bloody Flux. And its dry Dung drunk with wine and honey helps difficulty in Urine. And its Dung mixed with Pultesses, and spread upon the Sores, heals them that are stung with a Spider, or Serpent, or a Prester. And boiled in old wine and applied, it perfectly cures swellings of the Limbs, and Genitals, and Breasts. And mixed with Honey and melted and applied, it cures them, and draws out all Venom. And the Spleen of a She-Goat taken fresh and hot in the Name of the Patient, and laid upon the Spleen of one troubled with the Spleen, and swathed on only one day, afterwards taken off, then let the sick party hang it in the smoke, or Sun, or Wind; as much as the Spleen of the She-Goat dries away, so much will the Patient's Spleen waste. And the Spleen of a Kid drunk heals them that are bitten by Serpents; And the Rennet of it drank, or eaten roasted, cures the Bloody Flux: And boiled with Galls and Olives, and eaten, it stops the Flux of the Belly. And the Spleen of this Creature roasted and eaten, cures People of the Spleen. Its Skin, burnt in a Fume, raises lethargic people, and them that fall in an epilepsy, and them that have Fits of the Mother. And its Hair suffumigated does the same.   

Β.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Cow, known to all. Take the dry Dung of this Creature, beat it, sift it, weigh of it lb j. Wax ℥ vj. Cabbage Juice ℥ vj.( or in another Book iij.) raw Eggs iv. the best oil lb j. Beat what is to be beaten, melt what is to be melted, put in the Eggs, and dissolve all a little longer. By this Plaster you may cure the Spleen, Falling Sickness, dropsy, and such like, and also water Ruptures, and the Gout. Keep it secret, because it is a great thing. And if you dissolve the Dung in Vinegar, and anoint any place, or a Vessel of Honey with it, Ants will not creep up. And Cows Hoofs boiled, and eaten with Vinegar, resist all poison, nothing more. And Cow's gull breaks the Corns of our Flesh and beautifies the Face. And its Dung suffumigated under the Patient's Chair, hastens the Birth, and brings away the After-burthen.   

Β.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Frog, a well known Animal. If one cut its Tongue out, and let it go again alive, and make a superscription upon the Tongue thus, XV Vox. chuoch, eoja MHyogi edammoth, and shall lay it privately upon a Woman, as she is asleep, the Woman will tell whatever she has done all her Life time. And the Ashes of a Frog, applied in a Plaster with Pitch, thicken an Alopecia, And applied with Vinegar, they cure all bleeding at the Nose, of Ulcers, and Women's Fluxes. They also cure the Veins and Arteries, and Burns▪ And if one take a Frog alive in the Name of any one, when neither the Sun nor the Moon is above the Earth, and shall cut off its two hind feet with a pair of Scissors, and wrap it in Deer's skin, and tie the right to the right foot, and the left to the left, he will cure gouty persons without fail. If any one would cast the hair of his whole Body, let him burn the skin of a Frog, and put it into the water of the Bath, he will cast it. For an Alopecia, or falling of the hair; Apply the ashes of little Frogs with Tar, and you will cure an Alopecia.   

Γ.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a weasel, a little Creature, known to all. A Weezle's Tongue dried, and worn in ones shoes, makes all his Enemies to be mute. Another Book says, it amends Forgetfulnefs and an ill Mind. And if at any time you find a weasel thrown out dead, take, and boil it in oil, till it be dissolved, then strain out the oil, and put as much Wax to it as will make it into Plaster, and you will have a great Medicine for the Gout, and for all Diseases of the nerves, and for Inflammations of the Feet and Limbs, and for all Defluxions, and it cures a bad King's Evil, and the Breasts, and the Stones, and Apostemes, and it is good in Chirurgery for Buboes. The Stones help Conception, and hinder Conception. For if any one mix the right ston in an Unguent, and put it in a Pessary with wool, and use coition, she will, as I said, conceive presently. But the left Testicle tied up in a Mule's skin, and carried about one, hinders Conception. These words must be written in the Mule's skin, In ora. i. idacvia. i. joa. Q. a viij. i rayo. j. voi. koox ʒ. i. coochi. But if you will not believe it, try it in a Hen, that lays eggs, and she will not lay. And cut off its Testicles in the wain of the Moon, and let it go again alive, and give the Testicles to be carried in a Mule's skin, it is inconceptive, and invincible, and amatory. And save its Blood in Vinegar, and give it secretly to one troubled with the falling Sickness, till it is all gone, and it perfectly cures.   

Δ.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Roe-buck, is a four footed Animal, having a conceptory virtue. If therefore you would have Conception to be strong and infallible, do thus; Of Satyrion i. e. Satyrion seed ℥ iv. all the liquour of a Roe's gull, Honey ℥ iij. Mix, and put it up into a glass vessel. And when there is occasion, give it to a young Woman, when it is dry, and let her use coition. And if you would conceive a Male, take the gull of a Male row; if a Female, the gull of a Female. For it is very delectable. But if it be too dry, put as much Honey to it, as shall be requisite.   

Ε.  
{αβγδ} is a Serpent, and it is a winding Animal, known to all, a Viper. And some take it alive, and put it into a course earthen pot with Salt, and set it in the Chimney night and day, till it is dried; and then they mix Spices with it, and give it for all Diseases. The Salt cures the leprosy of the Greeks and of the Arabians, the Gout, Falling Sickness, palsy, and all desperate diseases. And Vipers Fat sharpens the sight, and all dullness of the Eyes. And the Eyes hung about the neck, cure all inflammations of the Eyes. And the Teeth are good for the toothache, and make Children's Teeth breed without pain. And the Agate ston fumigated drives away the Viper, and this ston drunk with Deer's Marrow cures the biting of a Viper.  
{αβγδ}, Echidrius terrestris, i.e. prickly Hog, a Hedgehog, is a very naughty Animal. When you have catched this, salt it and dry it, that you may have a great Medicine. But throw away the gull, because it is bad. Its head burnt, and applied with Honey thickens an Alopecia. A little of the Body dried, and given in Drink cures Blasting, the Falling Sickness, palsy, Swimming in the Head, headache, and all Diseases of such Nature, and the Kidneys also, and the Loins. And you must give ℥ j.( another Book has ʒj.) And its skin burnt and powdered cures an Alopecia. And you must pickle the whole Body and the Viscera, like Pork in Salt, and dry it like Bacon: Except the gull and the Guts; then rub it well and put it up. And give ℥ j. of it to drink in Oxymel to Leprous and Dropsical Persons. And in like manner also the Liver, and Kidneys, and Heart, and Lungs dried, cure the same.  
Elurus, i.e. a Cat, known to all. If therefore one fall into a Convulsion or epilepsy, or Dizziness, or if an epilepsy take a man, and he lye lifeless, if you presently put a live Cat upon him, the Convulsion, or Dizziness, or Apoplexy will immediately depart from him. But repeat this often Robis ba. Q. U. i. coueltho. And its Dung applied with oil of Lilies eases a Fever. Bruised with dry Mustard and Vinegar, it thickens an Alopecia.  
{αβγδ}, a dear, there are three kinds. It is a known Animal. And one kind is called {αβγδ}, i. e. having broad and stately Horns; the second has round horns; the third is Female. The Male cannot couple with her but at a Spring. For when she is thirsty, she seeks a Spring, and when she drinks with great thirst and eagerness, then the Male gets upon her: For being constrained with desire of drinking, she cannot fly. At another time she will not endure to be coupled with: then she conceives presently. And this Animal would live five hundred years, if it were not taken. Give one spoonful, I say, of the limature of the Horns of the dear, which has round Horns, with Hydromel, for seven dayes, to one troubled with the colic, and he will be perfectly cured of that Diseafe. And the gull with Honey causes Conception.   

Ζ.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Lizard; there are three kinds; one is called {αβγδ}, i. e. Solar; another {αβγδ}, i. e. Brazen; a third {αβγδ}, i. e. Green. And the Solar is known to all. If any one carry the right hand of this in a golden Case about his Neck, having this written in it; ha. va. ba. Ga. h. i. aulusare, he will escape all dangerous Diseases, and he will never be troubled with Disease as long as he carries it. The Eyes also taken out while it is alive, in the Patient's name, and worn about the neck, cure any Inflammation of the Eyes. But you must let the Lizard go alive. And if you find two of them, the Female, scil. and Male, coupling, and catch them, and cut off the Sex, and give it to drink, Friendship will become indissoluble; and whensoever they couple, if you cast a Skin, or Cloth over them, it will be very gracious. And the Tail carried, causes Erection. And its Liver applied, cures Corns. And its gull putrefied in Wine for eleven Days, in the open Air, and in the Sun in the Dog-days, extirpates,& exterminates, the Hairs of the Eyelids. The Solar Lizard can do the same things that the green can do. If therefore you make two Nails, and with them put out a Lizard's Eyes; and put it into a course Earthen Pot, having Virgin-earth in it, and set it by for nine Days; when you open the Pot afterwards, you will find the Lizard has its Sight: Then let it go alive. Make two Rings of your Shooe-leathers, and wear them, and put the right Eye in the Right, and the left Eye in the Left, and enclose the ston Carbuncle in them, which in Greek is called {αβγδ}, and in the other a Jasper, having a Lizard doubled at its Belly, and inscribed, Zibem Q. a. y. i. pyram, and underneath, Kaka, Fai. id est cucufas, and wear it( in another Book it was thus Ker. d ffe o. c. a. b.) For you will not be hurt in your Eyes all the Days of your Life; you will cure Ophthalmicks with the Touch of your Ring, and hanging it about their Neck.   

Η.  
{αβγδ} a Mule. The Ear-wax of a Mule tied up in Mule's Skin, is altogether inconceptive. And if you give that Ear-wax to a Woman in Drink privately, she will not conceive for some time. And if you secretly give, in like manner, some of the Matrix, boiled with other Flesh, she will never conceive. If any one have a could Catarrh, and kiss the Nostrils of a Mule, he will be cured, though he run at the Nose. And if any one privately take the Urine of a Male Mule, and boil it with Wax, oil, and lethargy, and apply it in a Plaster to a gouty Man's Foot, the Man indeed will be cured; but the Mule's Foot will have a Pain in it: For a Woman, take a Female Mule's Urine.   

Θ.  
{αβγδ}, a Spider, is a little Animal of six Feet, weaving Cobwebs on Walls, known to all men, this which is called Thyraphos, taken in the Name of the Patient, and made up with Wax, and applied to the Forehead, expels the Fit of a Tertian Ague. And if you put it alive into a Pipe or Quill, and hang it about the Neck, it cures a Quotidian. boiled in a little oil of Roses, or Nard, it cures pain in the Ears, and also chaps in the Feet. Spiders Webs also stop the bleeding of a Vein. And the great and black Spider, greater than the white, which makes Webs in Trees, taken in the Name of the Patient, and worn about one, cures the Kings Evil in the beginning. Also the white Spider, put with an Animal into a Quill, assuages an Inflammation of the Eyes, and stops a Rheum, and all things that come from superfluity. And if any one boil a Spider, and anoint the Head of one awake with it, it will cause sleep. And if one wrap a Corn of Salt in a white Spiders Web, and put it into a hollow Tooth, it will be cured.   

Ι.  
{αβγδ}, a Horse, a Kingly, swift Animal, known to all. When this is soaled, take the Cloud, or ston from its Forehead, which the Herdsmen call hippomenes, and carry it about you, as a great thing to procure Love: For if you only touch one with it, the Party will vehemently love you; and if you give it in drink to any one, you will effect the same thing; and if you give any of it in Meat, you will be entirely loved. And the gull of a Horse edulcorated in a Leaden Vessel, given to a Man in Wine, procures great Actions, and causes sleep. A Mare's Milk and Honey, anointed, kills the white leprosy. The Hoof, in a Fumigation, brings away a dead Child. Suffumigated also, it hastens the Birth. And the gull and Honey anointed, sharpen the sight.   

Κ.  
{αβγδ}, a Camel, a known Animal. The Milk therefore of a Female Camel, does not coagulate; and if you mix it with any other Milk, neither will it coagulate. And the gull of a Camel coagulated in a leaden Vessel, till it grows sweet, adorns one in Company at Meat, and makes him acceptable. And its Dung burnt, and mixed up with oil, perfectly cures an Alopecia, and the falling of the Hair after sickness. This said thing, applied in manner of a Plaster, evacuates the dropsy by Urine. Its Dung also dried and Powdered, and strewed upon Water, and drunk, cures the bloody Flux. Suffumigated, it reconciles Differences. And its Brain, and oil of Roses, anointed on the Head, before and behind, and all the Body over, cures the falling Sickness. Which is admirable, and a most excellent thing.  
{αβγδ}, a Dog. A little Whelp, while it is yet sucking, if one can get it to he quietly with an ancient infirm Person, in a Chronical Distemper; and if it lye upon the Breast of a Man or Woman, or little Child, and continually lye in the Bed, the Whelp indeed will die, but the infirm person will be freed from his Chronical Infirmity. And the Spleen of a Dog applied to a splenetic Person, in the Spleen, cures him. The dry Dung, powdered, and given in Drink, cures People of the Jaundice and bloody Flux. And applied with Honey to the Throat and Body, it perfectly cures the quinsy. And it must be given secretly for all things, drunk also by the Patient, he not knowing it, it perfectly cures the dropsy. And the Dung burnt in a potsherd, mixed with oil of Roses, heals Chaps in the Arse. And the Sweetbread cures the Piles. Applied with Turpentine, it cures oedematous swellings, and the Hemorrhoids. And with oil of Roses, it is good for putrid and incurable Ulcers, especially with ointment of Roses. With oil also, it is good against stinging of Bees and Wasps. And if any one hold the Heart of a Dog in his left Hand, or the Tongue tied up in a Cloth, all Dogs will be dumb, and run their way. Make up the Eyes of a gray Dog, as they are, with the Load-stone, or the ston Opsianus, i, e. Vespertinus into a Confection, like a dry Collyrium, and at Evening mix and apply it, you will see all things that are in the Dark. If any one be sick, with a little Paste wipe the Face, and Cheeks, and Groins, and Feet, and Hands, and give it a Dog to Eat, and if the Dog eat it, the Patient will live; if not, he will die: But the Paste must be warm.

If any one sleep or lye upon an Asses Skin, he will fear no Devils, even neither Gelo, nor Gillu, i.e. Hags and Night-mares. And if you make a Ring of the hoof of the right fore-foot, and give it to one possessed with a Devil, to wear, he will be cured that day.

If therefore you cut off its right horn, and make a Comb of it, and shall comb the right side of the head, when the Hemicrania is on that side, with this Comb, you will cure it. For you must comb the right side with the right, and the left with the left. When the Sun is in Aries, gather its dung and dry it, and apply it with Vinegar for the headache, and it will give ease. And the Worms, that are in the inside of the horn, given in Drink, are most efficacious for Love. The Horns also suffumigated, open the suffocation of the Matrix. The Lungs also of a Sheep eaten fasting, preserve one from Drunkenness, and how much soever he drink, he will not feel it. And its Liver taken out fresh and reeking, and applied to a Woman's Cheeks, makes her Face well coloured and beautiful. And its suet is useful in Pessaries. And the Lungs of a Lamb dried and powdered, and given in Drink, cure them that are hurt by poison. And the gull and Blood of a Lamb cure the Falling Sickness.   

Ρ.  
{αβγδ} is a four-footed Animal having one great horn about its Nose( and in another place it is thus) Nor can it be caught, but by the Scent and Beauty of very handsome Women. For it is a Creature lascivious to Love. The Horn or ston which grows upon this Creatures Nose, worn about one, casts out Devils. And its Testicles or genital Member, drunk by Men and Women, do violently incite to Lust.   

Σ.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a wild Boar. The Stones of this drunk, provoke Venery. And its Dung dissolved with Vinegar, cures an Erysipelas, and the gull likewise. The Rennet of a Boar is good against all deadly things: And it is a Treacle.  
{αβγδ}, a terrestrial Animal, like to a Crocodile, it is found in the Country of Melanitis. The extremity of its Tail and the Kidneys elevate the Member to Venery, given in Drink.  
A Salamander is a four-footed Animal, greater than the green Lizard: And it lives among Brambles and Bushes. Its Heart carried about one, makes the Bearer to be without fear against Fire, and bold against burning, and incombustible. The Animal therefore put in the Chimney or Fire, extinguishes all the flamme. And if you hang the Heart of it about the neck of one in a Fever, presently the Fever will be extinguished. And if a Woman carry it about her knees, she will by no means conceive, nor have her Menstrua, yea they will be stopped. And if you tie it up in a black skin, and hang it at ones Arm, it takes away a Tertian, and a Hemitritaeus, and a Quartan, and every Fit of an Ague. And the ashes of it burnt, strewed upon Warts, kill them, and root out Corns of the feet, and draw them out speedily.   

Τ.  
{αβγδ}, a Bull, known to all, and bold. The gull of him mixed with an Egg-shell, and anointed on any place, makes a Scar of the same colour. Washing with it and Vinegar cures the black leprosy, and Dandriffe in the Head, and Nits, and Moles and Freckles in Women, which they are troubled with, because they are with child. For it is not only a strong Creature itself, but the Virtue residing in it, applied, penetrates inwardly. And if a man carry it about him, he shall know all things. Also one that has no horns on his head, if a man carry that, it will give an Oracle, and Conjurers and Exorcists will confess, and make manifest, and will lay great Gifts in that place. Take the Hierax pelagi, i.e. the Sea-hawk, and kill it in water, and take their eyes, and season them with myrrh and Saffron, and dry them in the shade without the Sun: Bury their Carcases in the Earth, where thou art, and the Bearer, whether Man, or any thing else, take them and carry them. And the gull mixed with Honey, as I think, perfectly cures a bad Stomach. And double the quantity mixed with Unguentum irinum, and put in a Pessary, brings down much Menstrua the same day. And mixed with Unguentum amaracinum, and aphronitrum, it brings away a dead Child. And the gull by itself applied either to the Arse or navel, evacuates the Belly more than a Clyster: A Plaster of it to the Belly brings away Worms. And the dung of a Bull stops bleeding at the Nose, and thickens an Alopecia, and stops the hair from falling after Sickness. And the Blood of him dried, and mixed with oil of unripe Olives, and anointed, makes gray hairs black; but the Bull must be black. And after a Bull has been dead seven dayes, he breeds worms, which in one and thirty dayes turn to Honey-Bees, which you may gather in hives.  
{αβγδ}, i. e. a Goat. The Blood dried and given in meat with Galls and Pomegranate Flowers, cures the bloody Flux. In like manner enclose it in a round Gold Signet, with the Tongue of a Frog and cinnamon and Musk, and sew it in Deer's Skin, and hang it or tie it to a Sculpture or Idol, and there will be in that place {αβγδ} or Sacrifices, i.e. famous Miracles. And the common Hawk is very good for this. But you must very much hid this thing. And the suet of his Kidneys, boiled with Barley and Juice of Spelt, is put in for the same. And the Labdanum of his Beard, i.e. the Mummy, oesypus, or sappy Sweat, gathered, is good for an Alopecia and falling of the Hair, with Wine and oil of unripe Olives; and applied with Vinegar it cures the headache. The suet also made into a Plaster with bird-lime and Sandarach, roots out scabby nails. If one anoint a Goat's Nose with Unguent, and chafe it with his hand, he will make him to voided his Seed for delight; if with this Seed you anoint a Man's Member, he will have great tension and be invincible by any Woman.   

Υ.  
{αβγδ}, the hyena, is a four-footed Animal, savage, and ambiguous; for this Creature is born Female, and after a year turns Male, and then for the next year turns Female again, and sometimes it covers, sometimes is covered, and and brings forth and gives Suck. And it has these Virtues. And the gull of this Animal being sweet, has efficacy for a Miracle: And a great Miracle is made of it. And this is the Composition; Take the Eyes of the Fish Glaucus, and the right Eye of the said hyena, and all that is liquid of the hyena, dissolve all together, and put it up in a Glass Vessel, covering it well. If therefore you will show a great Miracle, when you have set a Light, mix the Fat of any creeping thing, or four-footed Beast you please, with a little of the foresaid Composition, and if you anoint the wiek of the Lamp or Candle, they will think it is the Beast, of which it is the Fat, whether of a Lion, or a Bull, or a Serpent, or of any other Creature. If therefore you will work a Miracle, or a Phantasm, put a little Fat of what Animal or wild Beast you please, with a little quantity of the Confection upon burning coals in the middle of the House, and the Beast will appear, whose Fat you mixed with it. And you may do the same with Birds. And if you mix a little Sea water with the Composition, and sprinkle among the Guests, they will all fly, thinking that the Sea is in the midst of them. And if you sacrifice or kill an hyena, when the Moon is in geminy or Virgo, and secretly give some of the boiled Lungs hot, you will cure lunatics. I knew this, and I admired it in an epileptic person, who fell frequently, but did not fall afterwards. And give ℥ ij. or iij. And I saw the Confection, and I experienced it. And it has also another Preparation. For the gull is good for dimness of sight, twinkling of the eyes, the beginning of a Jaundice, suffusion, mists, and blear eyes. Take of the gull of a Pike-fish ℥ vj. Indicum ℥ ij. Opobalsamum ℥ j. Myrrh ℥ iij. the Juice of Hieracindis, or Herba accipitraria, or Lactuca sylvestris ℥ viij. Pepper ℥ j. Honey ℥ vj. Dissolve all diligently, and make a soft eye-pleasing, put it up in a Glass Bottle, and use it. If you give the Fat of a hyena to an hydrophobick person, or to one bit with a mad Dog, you will save him: But he must be ignorant of the giving of it. And if you pluck out the two eyes of a hyena alive, and tie them to the two arms in a purple cloth, you will cast off all nocturnal fear, and of Witches which kill Infants, and which lye in wait against Conception or Birth; and every Devil will fly away. Its Belly dried and powdered, and mixed with Unguentum irinum, and applied as an ointment, cures People of the colic: and such as are convulse after much evacuation, and takes away pains of the Limbs. And if the right foot be tied up, and given to carry about one; give it to a hydrophobous Person, or to one bit with a mad Creature, he will be presently cured. And its Liver eaten cures Quartan Agues, and Tremblings and Passions of the Heart: But you must give it to all of them privately. And if any one carry its Tongue in his right shoe and walk, all Men and Dogs will be mute; for it is a great Silencer. And its Cawl, melted with oil, cures all fear. And its Marrow anointed on the Back-bone cures all pain in the Loins and the Back. The Fat of the Bones of the Loins suffumigated procures speedy Travail to her that has difficult Labour. Also the Bladder of an hyena, dried, and powdered, and drunk in Wine, cures those that piss in Bed. And a little of the skin worn about one in a Sock or shoe, cures the Gout in the Feet, Knees, Hands, and any where else; it also cures all Rheums in the Eyes, and inflammation of the Eyes. And anointing with it and Honey sharpens sight; and the Skin of an hyena puts Dogs to flight, hung before the Door, and averts all Treachery.   

Φ.  
{αβγδ}, a Seal, is a four-footed Animal. It has many Virtues. For its Brain drunk expels Devils. And its Head burnt, and mixed with oil of Cedar, cures an Alopecia and every Disease. And its right Eye, carried in Deer's skin, makes one amiable, and fortunate, and powerful And its Heart in like manner drunk, and its Rennet, averts all difficulty, and confers all good. And if you carry the hairs of its Nostrils tied up in the skin, I mean the greater and scattering ones, and shall enter into the midst of your Enemies, all of them will salute you as their Friend. The Tongue carried in ones shoes, procures Victory. And the Fat cures all swelling and pains of the Limbs. Its Skin also, gird about one, strengtheners the Reins and the Hips. Its Flesh eaten, and its Blood dried and drunk privately with Wine, cures every Falling Sickness, and Madness, and Swimming in the Head, and every Disease. Also the Liver, and Lungs, and Spleen, dried and strewed upon Drink, cure such things and all Diseases. The Bones also suffumigated, hasten Birth. And the gull and Honey anointed, cure any Inflammation of the Eyes. The Brain also drunk, cures the Falling-Sickness. And if any one shall tie up the Heart of a Seal, and the Tip of the Tongue, and the Hairs of its Nose, and the right Eye, and the Rennet, in a Deer's or a Seal's Skin, and wear it, he will conquer all men by Sea and Land, and all Infirmity and Disease, and Infortune of Degrees, and every Devil and wild Beast will fly from him; For he shall be blessed, happy, rich, and beloved.  
{αβγδ} is a kind of Frog, living in dry places. If this spit upon a man, he presently loses all his hair. And its Blood is the poison of the Hair.

Which being drawn out in the Name of the Patient, and tied to the Neck, cures a backward Convulsion. And its gull dulcified, adorns ones Conversation. And all other parts of it do equally perform, whatever the gull of a Seal, or of an hyena does. The Tongue of it, kept or carried with Root of Carline Thistle and Bugloss, makes a man's Enemies very silent.   

Ψ.

{αβγδ}, a Sea-Flea, which is found upon the shore, boiled with oil of Roses or white Wine, assuages the pain of the Ears. boil Psylli, or Sea-Fleas, in Sea-water with the Herb Psyllium, and sprinkle the Decoction in the House, and pleas will always shun it. And if a Fisher use Psyllus in a Bait for Fish, he will catch Fish. And let him tie it up in the skin of a Dolphin.   

Ω.  
{αβγδ}, the Eggs of a Spider, found in the ways, in the beginning of Spring, and if you take the Eggs of a Phalangium, or hurtful Spider itself, in the Name of the Patient, and tie them up in a black Cloth, and hang them on the left Arm, it cures the Fit of a Tertian, and Quartan, and Quotidian Ague. But you must take them when the Moon is in the wain, and in Pisces, on the Sabbath day about the ninth hour, in a Quotidian, j. in a Hemitritaeus ij; in a Tertian, iij; in a Quartan, iv; and hang them about your Neck or your Bed.

After this, take a Sword all of Iron, suffumigating with Storax and Honey; then set a Bowl underneath, cut off her Head over the Bowl, that all the Blood may run into the Bowl.

{αβγδ}, a Stork is a very good bide. For presently when the Spring comes, they proceed all together like an Army, and fly in divers Figures, as wild goose, and Ducks. And all sorts of Birds fly out of egypt, Lybia, and Syria, and come into Lycia, to a River, called Xanthus, and and in the same place they engage in battle with Ravens and Crows, and Magpies, and encompass, and with all carnivorous Fowl. For they know the time aforehand, and all come thither. The Army of the Storks indeed put themselves in Battalia on one side of the River; and the Crows and Vultures, and all the carnivorous Birds tarry on the other side of the River. And they tarry the whole sixth Month for battle. For they know the days whereon they are to engage. And then a Cry is heard to the very Heavens, and the shedding of the blood of wounded Birds is seen in the River, and the plucking off of many Feathers, of which the Lycians make Feather-beds. And after that the Field is cleared, they find the Crows, and all carniverous Birds torn in pieces. And likewise Storks and Pelicans, and no small number of such as are of their side. For many of the Birds fall down dead in the battle. And this Contention among them, and Victory, on whether side soever it falls, is a Sign to all Men. For if the Army of Storks be Conquerors, there will be Riches, and abundance of Bread-corn, and Fruits on the Earth: but if the Crows get the better, there will be a Multitude of Sheep, and Oxen, and other four-footed beasts. And the Storks have another certain, excellent natural Quality. For when the Parents are grown old, and are not able to fly, their Children, on every side, carry them upon their Wings from place to place, and also maintain them; and if they be blind, their Children feed them; this Retribution, and due Gratitude from Children to Parents, is called {αβγδ}, antipelargia, i.e. Stork-gratitude. And the Stork has such virtues as these. The Eggs dissolved in Wine, make Hair black. But you must cover the Forehead and Eyes with Paste, lest the liquour running down tinge them. And after the Tincture of the Hair, wash the Hair very well, and anoint it with oil of Myrtle, and with unripe oil Olive, in which Bear's, or Boat's Grease is dissolved. And if you take a little young Stork, and put it in a course Earthen Pot, and set it in an Oven to bake, and when it is baked to a Coal, you make Powder of it, you will have a dry eye-pleasing for Specks in the Eyes, and for blear-ey'dness, and for Inflammation, and for falling of the Hair; and you will do all these things as an Artist. But if you have a mind to make a moist eye-pleasing, put it into Honey, without Dross, and use it as an ointment. While the Stork is alive, take away the Sinews of her Feet, and Legs, and Wings, and apply them to the Gout in the Feet, and in the Hands, joining like to like, and you will cure them. And a Stork eaten roasted or boiled once a year, in the Spring time, before they take their Fight to the War, will preserve the Eater safe and sound in his Nerves and joints; for the Gout in the Feet, and in the Hands, and in the Knees, the Sciatica, backward Convulsion, and the Diseases of the Nerves and joints will fly away. And its Dung in a Cataplasm, with Leaves of Henbane, and wild Lettuce, is good for the Gout. And take the Skin of the inside of the Gizzard, wash it in Wine, and dry it in the Shade, and make a Powder of it. If any one therefore have drunk deadly poison, scrape a little of it, and give it him to drink in Wine, mixed with Sea-water, and it will be well with him. And its Guts eaten, cure the colic, and ston in the Kidneys. And its gull anointed, sharpens the sight. And if any one take the Heart of a Stork, Conqueror in the War, and tie it up in the Skin of a Hawk, or of a Vulture that is conquered, and writ on the Heart, because I have conquered my Enemies! And shall tie it to his right Arm. He that carries it, will be invincible by all, and admirable in War, and in all Controversies, and his Victory will be irrefragable and great.

And there is a three in India which is called Peridexion, whose Fruit is sweet, and useful, so that Doves also delight and tarry in it: And the Serpent fears this three, so that he avoids the shadow of it. For if the shadow of the three go towards the East, the Serpent flies towards the West; and if the shadow of the three reach towards the West, the Serpent flies towards the East; and the Serpent cannot hurt the Doves, because of the Virtue of the three. But if any of them straggle from the three, the Serpent by its breath attracts it, and devours it: Yet when they fly and go together, neither the Serpent nor the Spar-hawk can or dares hurt them. Therefore the leaves or bark of the three suffumigated avert all evil( that is, venomous Beasts.) If any one is blear-eyed, the blood of a Dove poured on hot cures wounds and breaches of the Eyes.
