## Text

### 2.39.(5t)

—ΕΥΓΕΝΙΟΥ 〈ΔΙΠΛΩΣΙΣ〉. Χαλκοῦ κεκαυμένου μέρη τρία· χρυσοῦ μέρος αʹ. Χώνευσον καὶ ἐπίβαλε ἀρσενικόν· καῦσον, καὶ εὑρήσεις θρυπτόν. Εἶτα λείωσον ὄξει ἡμέρας ζʹ ἐν ἡλίῳ· εἶτα ξηράνας, χώνευσον ἄργυρον· καὶ γελάσαν τι (?) ἔκβαλε ἐκ τούτου τοῦ συνθέματος, καὶ εὑρήσεις τὸν ἄργυρον ὡς ἤλεκτρον. Τοῦτο ἴσῳ σύμμιξον χρυσὸν, καὶ ἕξεις ὄβρυζον καλόν.
