## Text

### 2.381

ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΙΗΣΑΙ ΟΞΥΓΓΟΣΑΠΟΥΝΟΝ Βαλὼν λίτρας ὅσας θέλεις ἀξούγγιν λυο μι μένον (?), λεανῶ ψιλὸν εἰς λέβητα· ἔχε δὲ καὶ στάκτην ἀπὸ πτελέαν· καὶ βαλὼν εἰς ἀγγεῖα πολλὰ, .

### 2.381

καὶ βαλὼν ὕδωρ εἰς τὰ ἀγγεῖα, καὶ ἂς εἶναι τρυπήμενα εἰστὸν πάτον ὅλα καὶ στρωμένα μικρὸν ῥάκος εἰς τὰς τρύπας, διὰ 〈να〉 μηδὲν κατεβένῃ ἡ στάκτη. Καὶ ἔχε ἀποκάτωθεν τῶν σταμνίων ἀγγεῖα ἄλλα, διὰ να δέχωνται τὰ ὕδατα. Καὶ τὸ πρῶτον καταστάλαγμα βάνε εἰς τὸν λέβητα· καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ πρῶτον ὕδωρ τῆς στάκτης λέγεται πρωτεῖον τοῦ σάπωνος, καὶ τὸ δεύτερον ὕδωρ τῆς στάκτης ἔνει ἀδυνατώτερον. Καὶ λέγωνται τὰ γʹ γεμίσματα τοῦ σάπωνος.
