Liber VI

 [p. 290] et si quid aridi est, iterum excidendum, similisque adhibenda curatio est. Si non vincitur purgandum est scalpello tenuibusque ferramentis adurendum et sicut reliqua usta curandum est.

At ubi scabri ungues sunt, circum aperiri debent, corpus qua contingunt; tum super eos ex hac compositione aeque inponi: sandracae, sulpuris, singulorum P.  II; nitri, auripigmenti, singulorum P.  IIII; resinae liquidae P.  VIII; tertioque id die resolvendum est.
