26. Ὁκόταν πνίγωσιν αἱ ὑστέραι, ὑποθυμιῇν χρὴ τὰ κακώδεα πάντα ὑπὸ τὰς ῥῖνας, ἄσφαλτον, θεῖον, κέρας, ἐλλύχνιον, φώκης ἔλαιον, καστόριον· ὑπὸ δὲ τὰ αἰδοῖα τὰ εὐώδεα.
26. When the womb chokes [the woman], one must fumigate under the nostrils with all the foul-smelling things: asphalt, sulphur, horn, lamp-wick, seal oil, castoreum; and under the genitals with the sweet-smelling ones.
