Note 502 — ANCIENT ROMAN MEDICINE-STAMPS.

Thus Nicolaus Myrepsus describes the “Collyrium nominatum Sol;” the “Collyrium Aster, hoc est stella;” the “Collyrium dictum Lumen.” See his Opus de Compositione Medicamentorum, sect. xxiv. cap. 2, 22, 3, etc. Trallianus describes the collyrium Phos, etc., p. 174. Aetius gives, p. 352, a formula for the collyrium Uranium. See also Oribasius, p. 50. Perhaps I ought to have stated earlier, that in quoting the works of Oribasius, Aetius, Myrepsus, Trallianus, Scribonius Largus, and Marcellus, I always refer, except when it is otherwise specified, to the writings of these authors as contained in Stephen’s collated edition of the “Medicæ Artis Principes post Hippocratem et Galenum” (Paris, 1567).
