Ivy collyria from horse dung for sharp sight
Then drawing them out, rub them on a whetstone and make them as collyria with the liquid that is in it, and you will marvel at the activity, and you will also stop beginning cataracts.
Greek
Εἶτα ἑλκόμενος ἀπότριβε ἐπὶ ἀκόνῃ καὶ ποίει ὡς κολλύρια σὺν τῷ ἐνόντι ὑγρῷ, καὶ θαυμάσεις τὴν ἐνέργειαν, παύσεις δὲ καὶ ἀρχομένας ὑποχύσεις.
About this text
Julius Africanus, Cesti (Embroidered Girdles): a miscellany of history, science, and craft, in the surviving fragments — books 7, 2, and 3 in full, with parts of books 4, 8, 9, and 13, and the colophon of Cestus 18. The older English translates his letters only. The book-2 table of contents and a book-7 appendix are not in this volume.
New English from locked PG 10 / Khazarzar Greek of the Cesti fragmenta through 9.5. Earlier lemma-led scaffold English was discarded. Book-2 pinax and book-7 appendix held. This lock is exhausted.
