Among the diseases of the head discussed are apoplexy, epilepsy and eye infections; further sections deal with ailments of the ears, nose and mouth, with scrofula, syncope, pleurisy, and with ailments of the spleen, stomach, intestines, kidneys and male genitals. Incipit (f. 12r): '[D]o gallraib an chind ocus ar tus do thuitim in fuilt', explicit (f. 47r): 'Item blonac … do ól ar an céadna et rcetera [sic]'.
