According to Susan, it is CXVI from page 141.  There doesn't appear to be 
anything in Perry's translation on "Camphor from Basil," so I'm curious. 
While the Spanish is a translation, it is certainly more usable by me than 
the original Arabic.  I am curious about the Arabic usage and the precision 
of the translation, but making such an evaluation is beyond my linguistic 
skills.

>From Perry's translation, it appears that the Arabic usage allows the term 
we translate as camphor to be used to things that resemble camphor and I 
would be interested to see what the section on "Camphor from Basil" holds.

Thanks for the help.
