Having plucked the stalk of a well-formed citron, having scooped out [the interior] and made an aperture in the middle, having then thrown in the confined mercury and placed salt on top, having covered it again with that stalk, having tied the citron in a cloth, and having suspended the citron submerged in sour gruel inside a pot filled with sour gruel mixed with a third part of lemon juice using the previously described swing apparatus, a fire should be burned below for a day and night. .. 1.93-110:1 ..
Then, having brought a fresh citron again in the morning, having thrown the mercury inside in the very same way, the mercury is to be processed with the swing apparatus for a day and night. .. 1.93-110:2 ..
Processed thus for seven days, seven times with ever-fresh citrons, the mercury, its mouth opened wide for devouring prepared grain-mica and the like, digests every morsel given according to the rules. .. 1.93-110:3 ..
Thus ends the tenth refinement process, mouth-expansion, of confined mercury. .. 1.93-110:4 ..
