“IncensePart 1
Verdigris” 1
Green lead” 1
Mix and apply on the tooth.”

The other is compounded of:

“WaterPart 1
Absinth” 1
To be used as above.”

We next find a formula, preceded by this very vague indication: “Chewing remedy for curing the teeth.”

“Amaa-plantPart 1
Sweet beer” 1
Sut-plant” 1
To be masticated and then spit on the ground.”

Another masticatory is intended to “strengthen and cure the teeth,” and is compounded thus:

“SaffronPart 1
Duat-plant” 1
Sweet beer” 1
To be masticated and then spit on the ground.”

Finally, we have a medicament “for curing the gnawing of the blood in the tooth.” It is complicated enough, being compounded with:

“The fruit of the gebuPart 1/32
Onion” 1/64
Cake” 1/16
Dough” 1/8
Anest-plant” 1/32
Water” 1/2
One leaves it to stand and then chews for four days.”

But what meaning is to be attributed to the “gnawing of the blood in the tooth?”
