3white sulphur and let it be pounded with [shell]
4of eggs and be mixed with mercury of eggs
5well mixed and there shall be there with the same weight
6of pure salt. You shall expose it to a fierce fire
7Then take it out, when you will find it black. You shall repeat
8the operation as before and again expose it to the fire
9taking it out you will find it ashen. Do again as
10before three times, for at the third time
11It will come out white like chalk and will be correct.
12And God is the guide
13And when it is so take the mercury and pulverize it on a stone
14with water and salt till it be freed from impurities, then cook it with oil
15a whole day, then wash it with natron and salt as
16before, then cook it a second time in the frying-pan, then cover with
17the first drug, and seal seal it up firmly in a pot or
18kuḥl-box, and let it be set for the night on a slow fire.
19Next morning there will be found an ingot, brittle, of which on drachm [should be projected upon]
