It contains, in the Venice edition of 1511, 1066 chapters, 144 on

Ortus on Aster. Under the title not of Aszer but of Yuguinalis 
(i. e., inguinalis, Pliny’s name for Aster), Ortus devotes its chapter 
520 to an account of Aster Atticus, consisting mainly of quota- 
tions from Paulus Aegineta and Galen.
