Epilepsy is cured by the root of the panaces which we have spoken[1] of as the "heraclion," taken in drink with sea-calf's rennet, the proportions being three parts of panaces and one of rennet. For the same purpose an infusion of plantago[2] is taken, or else betony or agaric, with oxymel, the former in doses of one drachma, the latter in doses of three oboli; leaves of cinquefoil are taken, also, in water. Archezostis[3] is also curative of epilepsy, but it must be taken constantly for a year; root of bacchar,[4] too, dried and powdered, and taken in warm water, in the proportion of three cyathi to one cyathus of coriander; centunculus[5] also, bruised in vinegar, warn water, or honey; vervain, taken in wine; hyssop[6] berries, three in number, pounded and taken in water, for sixteen days consecutively; peucedanum,[7] taken in drink with sea-calf's rennet, in equal proportions; leaves of cinquefoil, bruised is wine and taken for thirty days; powdered betony, in doses of three denarii, with one cyathus of squill vinegar and an ounce of Attic honey; as also scammony, in the proportion of two oboli to four drachmæ of castoreum.
