Terebinth oil, foul oil made bright, and Lydian garum

Then it is poured down into vessels; soaked the longest time in boiling water and taken up, it is squeezed out with wicker baskets. Some, having chopped and mixed with water, set them in ovens until it is boiled, and thus squeeze them out. The terebinth-oil is prepared likewise to the mastic. Others, having chopped, throw them into pots that have a little water standing above, then boil and pick off the oily that floats on top (good oil comes off to the bottom of the jar, green dill and salt having been let down).

Black and dirty oil you will brighten thus: roast one litra of nitre, chop it, sift it, throw it into the jar. If you also want to make it like omphacinum, chop bark of wild olive and leaves, make a mass, and by weight throw a litra into a jar. If you want to make the Iberian I first said, which we name "Spanum," throw chopped wild-olive leaves into very clear Sidetic oil, having bound them in a proportionate linen and hung them, and let them soak as many days as you want; and thus it will acquire the Iberian quality.

You would heal turbid oil by pouring it into a wide-mouth vessel and setting it in steady sun, and sprinkling roasted salts sufficiently, toward the rewarming; whenever it has settled, transfer it into vessels. The foul-smelling thus: chop green olive without the pits, as much as a half-choenix, throw it into the metretes; set it in the sun and heat it enough, then take out what was thrown in and transfer into more vessels.

And from calf suet oil could come, even odorless oil: choes of pickled-olive brine — minas; let it have a weight toward not floating, a stone laid in, and fire underneath with a soft fire. Taking off what boils up, throw it at once into a newly-emptied oil-jar; and of the suet having melted, filter the remainder with a strainer and throw it onto the vessel, and having taken it aside let it for twenty days; then use it. But also garum from one part of unmixed brine and two of the sweet wine. The serious one comes from Lydia; and the one named "soccius," which they praise more than all garums.
