"Medicinæ ad tollendos fœtores, anhelitus, provenientes a cibis quibusdam."

"Sectile ne tetros porrum tibi spiret odores, Protenus a porro fac mihi cepe vores. Denuo fœtorem si vis depellere cepæ, Hoc facile efficient allia mansa tibi. Spiritus at si post etiam gravis allia restat, Aut nihil, aut tantum tollere merda potest."
