Some sources listed this as a second description of Troches of Spodium out of Mesue, while other have credited it to Avicenna. We have chosen to list Avicenna as the source.

As has been stated elsewhere, Spodium (burnt Ivory) was used in place of Tabasheer of the Arab physicians. The correct ingredient in the Spodium formulas is Tabasheer.
