Petro

Petro, after he heard about Barbillus' wound, at once hurried to the house.

When he entered the bedroom. he saw the astrologer, who was trying to cure Barbillus

The astrologer was placing the cut up mouse in the wound of Barbillus, reciting a magical spell

Petro, as soon as he saw the mouse, was very angry; he yelled at the astrologer and sent him out of the bedroom

Then Petro, after he looked at the shoulder of Barbillus, he took out a sponge and submerged it with vinegar. 

He placed it in his wound. Barbillus fell back, unconcious. 

Everyday I used to come to the bedroom, where he was laying sick. I had many conversations with Barbillus, sitting near the bed.

After I was familiar with Barbillus, he told me much about his life. Without a doubt, fortune had seriously hurt him.

Petro turned to me.

"It is nessecary for you to help me. It is difficult for me to cure Barbillus."

"I am in despair about his life because so much blood is loating now. 

And so I gave help to the doctor.

Petro, after he demanded boiling water, carefully washed his hands and the doctor's forceps

After he finished this, he washed the shoulder of Barbillus; he carefully stitched his skin, which the spear of the slave had cut.

Finally he took a wide bandage, and bound the shoulder firmly. 

Petro advised me as follows:

"Now it is necessary for Barbillus to stay in this bed; it is necessary for him to rest and sleep.

Nature alone can cure him, not the astrologer."
