Note 440 — Chapter II · THE ROMAN INVASION.
Reading edition
A PALO may either refer to the school of the Mediciner, and signify of Palermo, Palatino, or the like; or, as is perhaps more probable, it is the Crocodes of Palermo, or elsewhere. Between sixty and seventy of these medicine stamps are now known, and two specimens of pottery have been found in France impressed with similar prescriptions,—evidently the vessels in which the preparations were preserved.
