λιβανωτός medical prescription P Oxy II. 234-33 λιβ]ανωτὸν οἴνῳ [διεὶ]ς ἡδίστῳ κλύζε [τὸ o]ts, ‘dilute frankincense with very sweet wine and syringe the ear” (Edd.): cf. 26. I. 118?

Grimm’s note makes Rev 8% ° confuse A. = “ frankincense ” and A.Bavwrls=‘“‘ censer,” but Syll 588158 (c. B.C. 180) λιβανωτίδος κλάσματα has the latter word in the former meaning, so that the confusion existed also ‘‘in prof. auth.,”’ or at least in profane inscriptions.
