Εἰ δὲ ἐξ ἐλαίου ἐκθειουμένης ἕψοντες ἕως ἄρρευστον , καὶ ἐκφυσήσαντες ἔχουσι . Καὶ οὕτως φέρομεν ἐπὶ τὴν ξάνθωσιν , λειώσαντες αὐτὴν , καὶ βάλοντες τὰ ξανθῶσαι δυνάμενα ὕδωρ θείου καὶ κόμμι , καὶ πήγνυμεν μικρὸν τοῖς βολβίτοις . Καὶ πάλιν ὀπτοῦμεν ἡμέρας βʹ ἢ γʹ , ἕως οὗ γένηται ξανθὸν εἰς ὑπερβολὴν , τοῦτο καθιέμενον εἰς τὸ τοῦ φαρμάκου λείψανον ἡμέρας γʹ ἢ εʹ ἢ ζʹ , ἕως οὗ ἰωθῇ . Καὶ ἐπιβάλλομεν ἀργύρῳ , καὶ βάπτομεν χρυσόν . Οὕτως ἔγνωμεν τὴν τῶν φώτων ποσότητα , ὀλίγον ἕως οὗ παγῇ ἡ νεφέλη .
Καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ θείου τὸ ἀπολελυμένον μετὰ τοῦ μολυβδοχαλκοῦ μεταβαλόντες ὀπτοῦμεν ἡμέραν αʹ , καθὼς ἔχει ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ τάξει τῶν λευκῶν ζωμῶν , ἀλλὰ καὶ εἱλικτοῖς , καθὼς ἔχει ἐν τῇ λιθαργύρῳ . Τοῦτον εἰ μὲν βουλόμεθα λευκοῦν , οὕτως ἴωμεν · εἰ ( 148 ) δ’ οὖν ἐκφυσήσαντες ἐπὶ τὴν ξάνθωσιν , πάλιν φέρομεν τὴν διὰ ὕδατος θείου ἀθίκτου , καὶ κόμμεως , καὶ πήξαντες τοῖς βολβίτοις μεταβαλόντες , ὀπτοῦμεν ἡμέρας βʹ ἢ γʹ , ἕως οὗ γένηται ξανθὸν εἰς ὑπερβολήν . Καὶ ἐξενέγκαντες , ἰοῦμεν εἰς τὸ τοῦ φαρμάκου λείψανον . Ταύτην κατείληφα τὴν τῶν φώτων ποσότητα .

And
if
,
refining
it
from
deified
oil
until
it
is
unflowing
,
and
having
blown
on
it
they
take
it
.
And
thus
we
go
until
the
yellowing
,
smoothing
it
,
and
throwing
the
things
able
to
be
yellowed
into
sulfur
water
and
gum
,
we
also
fasten
a
little
with
the
cow-dung
.
And
again
we
heat
it
for
2
or
3
days
,
until
it
becomes
perfect
yellow
;
this
is
applied
to
the
remainder
of
the
drug
for
3
or
5
or
7
days
,
until
it
rusts
.
And
we
cast
it
upon
silver
,
and
dip
gold
.
Thus
we
know
the
quantity
of
colors
,
for
a
little
bit
,
until
the
sublimate
fastens
.
And putting the released sulfur water with the lead-copper alloy , we heat it for one day , just as it holds on in the first order to the white washes [ or : just as it is in the first order of the white washes ] , but also with the twisted ones , just as it was in the litharge . That is , if we wish it to be white , let us thus go . But if ( 148 ) we blow upon the yellow , again we bring it through the sacred sulfur/divine water and gum , and fixing it with cow-dung we transform it , heating it for two or three days , until it becomes perfect yellow . And bringing it out , we go to the remnant of the drug . I have left this as the quantity of lights .
