Scot: “Pythagoras and Democritus giue vs the names of a great manie magicall hearbs and stones, whereof now both the vertue and the things themselues also are vnknowne: as Marmaritin, whereby spirits might be raised: Archimedon, which would make one bewraie in his sleepe all the secrets in his heart: Adincantida, Calicia, Meuais, Chirocineta, &c.: which had all their seuerall vertues, or rather poisons.” Discouerie of Witchcraft, b. vi. c. iii. p. 117, ed. 1584.
