     Description of Indian musk pill. It is a remedy employed by kings, well-tested, agreeable, effective: One takes one rottol each of sand and ink, either rottol is to be hackled, washed, then moved to a clean pot. Pour forty rottol of clean water over them, and simmer them on a low flame until about five rottol of water are left over; then heave it off the fire, and strain it by means of a filter; then put it again into a clean pot with a layer of hot clay and hair or the like at the exterior, set a gentle fire underneath it, stir to avert burning, until it assumes the texture of clotted honey; then put it off the fire, and in the shade to dry, to reach a consistency of washed aloes. So, when you desire pills from it, take twenty miṯqāl, pound that, and sift it by use of piece of silk; take cardamom, clove, nutmeg, mace, unadulterated Indian agalwood, Indian cinnamon leaves, qyṭfwr–an Indian drug resembling lupines–, yellow sandalwood, aloe-berries and cubeb, of all a miṯqāl, and of musk five miṯqāl, whereas ten of camphor; grind each (ingredient) solitarily then commix; and take of sand five miṯqāl, hackle it, and boil it in half a rottol of clean water until two ounces of the water remain; and knead the remedies with it, shape pills like chickpeas, and use them if God the exalted will.
