* Daphnidon coctarum, as listed in the source text would appear to be cooked Daphne. ‘Cooking’ is a type of preparation often used to lessen toxicity. However, a footnote in the source text says Daphoides sunt lauri baccae, meaning that the medicine referred to is Bay berry. We have followed the lead of the source text, however, the medicine may still refer to Daphne.
