The snake called idros and kudusidros

If this snake lives in water, then the Greeks call it idros, and if its habitat is on land, then it is called kudousidros. It is smaller than a deaf rattlesnake, has a wider neck, and is worse and more harmful. From its bite, severe pain appears in the bitten area or it glows, then turns blue and corrodes; the stung person experiences dizziness and vomiting of stinking bile, erratic movements and loss of strength appear; most often, he dies in the third hour and does not survive the third day. If he survives, because the snake is a water snake, or because his nature is strong, then illnesses do not leave him, from which he almost never recovers.

The treatment for this is general treatment. One of the differences is that the patient is given peeled cypress cones and myrtle berries to drink - they take one dharham each with water or wine sweetened with honey, and they also give aristolochia - two dirhams with wine or diluted vinegar or squeezed horehound juice and apply dressings with lime and olive oil, mountain mint, oak root bark and similar substances, individually or in mixtures. They are mixed, by the way, with barley flour.
