Various medicines were placed in its mouth, but it did not die. Someone riding a white horse observed this; horse urine fell on the turtle, causing it to shrink. They then poured urine on it, turning it into water. The man subsequently drank it, and his illness was cured. Broken tether ropes decocted thickly treat various pediatric epilepsies and for washing.
