24 Nonnumquam autem lumbrici quoque occupant alvum, hique modo ex inferioribus partibus, modo foedius ore redduntur; atque interdum latos eos, qui peiores sunt, interdum teretes videmus.— Si lati sunt, aqua potui dari debet, in qua lupinum aut cortex mori decoctus sit, aut cui adiectum sit contritum vel hysopum vel piperis acetabulum vel scamoniae paulum. Vel etiam pridie, cum multum alium ederit, vomat, posteroque die mali Punici tenues radiculas colligat, quantum manu comprehendet; eas contusas in aquae tribus sextariis decoquat, donec tertia pars[p. 438] super sit; huc adiciat nitri paulum, et ieiunus bibat. Interpositis deinde tribus horis duas potiones sumat; at aquae ... vel muriae durae sit adiecta; tum desidat subiecta calida aqua in pelve. Si vero teretes sunt, qui pueros maxime exercent, et eadem dari possunt et quaedam leviora, ut contritum semen urticae aut brassicae aut cumini cum aqua, vel menta cum eadem vel absinthium decoctum vel hysopum ex aqua mulsa vel nasturcii semen cum aceto contritum. Edisse etiam et lupinum et alium prodest, vel in alvum oleum subter dedisse.
