Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Oenanthe herba nascitur in petris, folio pastinacae, radice magna, numerosa. caulis eius et folia cum melle ac vino nigro pota facilitatem pariendi praestant secundasque purgant, tussim e melle tollunt, urinam cient. radix et vesicae vitiis medetur.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

The œnanthe is a plant which is found growing upon rocks, has the leaf of the parsnip, and a large root with numerous fibres. The stalk of it and the leaves, taken with honey and black wine, facilitate delivery and bring away the after-birth: taken with honey, also, they are a cure for cough, and act as a powerful diuretic. The root of this plant is curative of diseases of the bladder.
