Note (16) — BOOK IV.
James Greive translation
16. A powder with oil.) This word is pulvis—Our author does not say what powder. He had mentioned rose-oil just before: can he intend the powder of rose-leaves? or any of those powders he prescribes in the cardiac disorder, the last of which is quilibet ex via pulvis, any common dust? Or has the word, denoting the kind, been omitted by the copiers?
