[1] Ex Tor.; G.-V. P. piscium loco salsi.
[2] Tor.; sentence wanting in other texts.
[3] Tor. duratos—hard—no sense here, probably a misprint of the d. List. curatos—carefully treated, “cured,” processed.
[4] Salsum coctum, cf. notes to ℞ No. [148]; Goll., Dann.—sprinkle [the fish] with salt.... Like Lister’s error in the preceding formula it would be a great blunder to add salt to a cured fish already saturated with salt to the utmost. Cf. also note 2 to ℞ Nos. [41], [148].
[5] Virtually a repetition of ℞ No. [149], except for the addition of the pork.
