Begins (f. 1v, lines 3-6):
الحمد لله الذي ظهرت بدائع مصنوعاته وبهرت غرائب مبتدعاته
ودل بظواهر صنعته على لطيف حكمته وأنعم على الخلائق بضروب نعمه وعم البرايا
بأنواع النبات والثمار المختلفة المنافع والبحار يسقى بماء واحد ونفضّل
بعضها على بعض في الأكل ...
Ends (f. 269v, lines 14-17):
... وهو لطيف جدًا وفيه
يسير قبض وهو منضج للرطوبات الغليظة اللزجة وينبت الشعر
المترق ويكثفه ويحفظه مع دهن الآس ويخرج الجنين الميت
والمشيمة تدخينًا في قمع وإن شرب بشراب عقل الطبع وأوّد
