Medical Catechism
Description
A single column, numbered 18, of a roll containing a medical catechism. It contains the end of the answer to a question now lost, a new question, and the beginning of its answer. The first question in all probability asked for the properties of olive oil, that made from unripe olives,and that made from fully ripe olives, and the powers of each. The second question -"What is the best time for a catabrocation?- concerns illnesses characterized by paroxysms. Reminiscent of our questions are those found in Orib., Coll. Med. vi 12, 15; vii 1, 2, 5-12, 23, 24; viii 1, 4, 6, 34, 38; et. al.
