Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non recensé pour la première officine. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. De la plus grande rareté.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted for the first pharmacy. Missing from all consulted works. Extremely rare.

Historical background
CONSTANTIUS GALLUS
(3/15/351-winter 354)
Caesar
Constance Galle was named Caesar on March 15, 351 to respond to the usurpation of Magnentius. He marries Constantia, Constance II's sister, and is sent to the East to stabilize the situation against the threatening Sassanids. Installed in Antioch, he is brutal and intransigent. Faced with the fear of a revolt from the East, Constantius called him back, had him arrested in Illyria and beheaded at the end of the year 354.
