“Palma quae fert myrobalanum probatissima in Aegypto. Ossa non habet reliquarum modo in balanis, alvum et menses sistit in vino austero et vulnera conglutinat.”

1938 translation by W.H.S. Jones The palm which bears the myrobalanum, found in Egypt, is very highly esteemed. It has no stone in its dates, as other date-palms have. Taken in a dry wine it checks diarrhoea and excessive menstruation, and unites wounds.
