Given in the source as 又方, an unnamed head standing at the end of the 癭瘤 section, and entered here under a descriptive identifier taken from the section. It has nothing to do with the other unnamed 又方 head of this chapter in the 結核 section, registered as gyeolhaek-ubang, nor with the 一方 entries of other chapters. The base text gathers seven remedies from three sources under the one head and they are kept together. A collation line, 潰 : 漬(初刊本), stands on its own line after the 疳瘻 section head two pages further on, past [039a] and the 灸法 and 疳瘻 heads; the word it annotates is very probably this leaf's 酒潰 in the last clause, which the first edition reads 酒漬, steeped in wine — the same operation that line 2 of this leaf writes correctly as 酒三升漬數日 — rather than the 諸瘻之潰漏也 of the section head it sits beneath, where 漬 makes no sense. The transcription's 潰 is printed above as the 底本 rule requires and the variant recorded here. 醎 is printed as the corpus majority has it. 松蘿, the lichen, is entered as an ingredient. 羊靨 and 鹿靨, the thyroid glands of sheep and deer, have no entries in this corpus's herb list and are not entered as ingredients; they are named here. 灸 is left as the transcription prints it.
