"[Plin. Nat. 22.78] - THE PLANT MILIARIA: ONE REMEDY.
“Miliaria” is the name given to a plant which kills millet: this plant, it is said, is a cure for gout in beasts of burden, beaten up and administered in wine, with the aid of a horn.”

"[Plin. Nat. 27.95] - PELECINON: ONE REMEDY.
We have already spoken of pelecinon as growing in cornfields, a plant which throws out a number of shoots from thin stems, and has leaves like those of the chick-pea. The seed, which is contained in pods of a curved shape, like diminutive horns and three or four in number, is similar to gith in appearance, bitter, and an excellent stomachic. It is used as an ingredient in antidotes.”
