For the recipes in the Table see footnote 66. <strong>The</strong> amounts are in ounces<br />
unless otherwise stated. For easy comparison pounds have been converted to<br />
ounces at the ratio of 1 lb. = 12 oz., 1 oz. = 8 dr. (cf. Gal. XIX 752). For<br />
our text the amounts of litharge, birthwort, and wax (one-fourth ounce, each)<br />
are given as 2 dr. for easier comparison with Orib. (2). Convenient tables<br />
of weights are found in Gal. XIX 748ff.; Celsus (Loeb ed.) vol. II, pp. lxv<br />
lxvii; Orib. Syn. II 58-59; Paul. VII 26. (To be continued)<br />
