§ As a remedy for eye disease [beroketi], let him bring the body of a 7-colored scorpion, dry it in the shade, and grind together two portions of stibium and one portion of the dried scorpion. And let him place 3 eyebrushes full in this eye, and 3 eyebrushes full in that eye. But he should not place more, as if he does not heed this advice and he does place more, his eye will burst.
As a remedy for night blindness, he should bring a rope of animal hair [shudra barka], and he should tie one of his legs and one leg of a dog together with the rope. And let children throw pottery shards behind him, and let them say to him: The dog is old and the rooster is foolish. And let him take 7 pieces of raw meat from 7 houses and let him leave them for him in the socket of the door. And let him then eat them in the junkyard of the city. Afterward, he should untie the rope of hair and say as follows: The blindness of so-and-so, son of so-and-so; leave so-and-so, son of so-and-so; and then they say: Let them blow into the dog’s eye.
As a remedy for day blindness, hemeralopia, which is the inability to see clearly in bright light, let him bring 7 animal spleens, and let the patient roast them on the pottery shard of a bloodletter. And let the patient sit on the inside of the house and let another person sit on the outside, and let the patient say to himself: Blind man, give me something to eat, and let the other one say to the patient: Seeing man, take and eat. And after the patient eats, let him break the shard, as if not, the blindness will follow him.
