Text
A recipe in Aboda Zara 28b was employed for an internal problem (ˀstwmkˀ dlybˀ):
take (myyty) cumin (kmwnˀ = Akkadian kamūnu), caraway (krwyyˀ), nynyˀ (= Akkadian nīnû), ˀgdnˀ, savory (ṣytry), thyme (ˀbdtˀ, var. ˀbrtˀ), and llybˀ in wine.
In corresponding Akkadian recipes, plants and minerals were often crushed and mixed with wine to make a potion to be drunk by the patient.
