Ooooh! I have no access to Scappi - _please_ could someone with the
text type that in for me, if it's not too long? Does it talk about
oxymel only as a medicinal draught? I'm particularly interested in
finding any evidence which supports drinking oxymel or sekanjabin as
a refreshment rather than as a medicine.
many thanks,
