[90] Apparently at the point of Tinagoan, on Buad Island, off the
western coast of Samar. [91] In the margin is a reference to II Timothy, 4. [92] _Piper betel_; the method of using it as a stimulant is described in _Vol_. IV, p. 22a. The _coca_ to which the betel-nut is here compared is the dried leaf of a Peruvian shrub (_Erythroxylon coca_). of stimulant and tonic qualities. From it is obtained the well-known anæsthetic cocaine. [93] Marginal references (of which some throughout this page of Chirino are too indefinite to be verified): _II Paralipomenon_ (the appellation, in Roman Catholic versions of the Bible, of the books named "Chronicles" in the Protestant version), 16. Onuphrius, book 2. [94] Marginal references: _Fastorum Plutarchi in Sylla_. Plinius, book II, chap. 10. _Ecclesiastes_, 34. _Sermo 15_ of St. Jerome, 9. [95] Marginal references: _II Paralipomenon_, 35. _Job_, 3. Aristotle, cited by Varro, book 6. [96] Marginal references: _Judges_, 4, and thereon Procopius of Gaza--probably a reference to his commentaries, _Commentarii in Octateuchum_ (a Latin translation; Tiguri, 1555). [97] Marginal references: _Herodotus and Diodorus_, book 3. Pineda's _Job_, 3, v. 16--the _Commentarium in Job libri tredecim_ of Joannes de Pineda (of Sevilla). |
