Note 554 — ANCIENT ROMAN MEDICINE-STAMPS.
Reading edition
See, for example, Adams’ Paulus Ægineta, vol. iii. pp. 551 and 555, where the collyria Diasmyrnum and Isotheon are directed “to be used with an egg”—(“Usus cum ovo est,” according to the Latin translation of Cornarius, p. 671, etc.) Celsus directs the Collyrium Philetis to be used “vel ex ovo, vel ex lacte.” Galen repeatedly employs the same expression in giving his directions about collyria, as in vol. xii. pp. 746, 747, 749, 754, etc.
