774 Gulabkunverba I, 294. HIM II, 382. D.N. Garg (1987): 104. R.C. Majumdar (1971): 255. S.S. Misra (1982): 184. R. Froehner (1968: 573) writes that a Sanskrit treatise on the diseases of horses, attributed to an Ippocras, was translated into Arabic by Johannes Damascenus (ninth century), and from Arabic into Latin by Moses of Palermo (thirteenth century); the title of the Latin translation is: *Hippocratis liber de curationibus infirmitatum equorum, quem translatavit de lingua arabica in latinam Magister Moyses de Palermo*; this Hippocrates is regarded as identical with Carakase, whose work on veterinary medicine is said to be available in an Italian translation in the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence (Codex 2300); R. Froehner refers to *C.B. Ercolani (1851, 1854).
