Well, "the begreased one" -- I forget what xorxes had, but probably something

Nor te djuno neither (and I am not sure how slabu it is nowadays).

Allegro probably lost most of his claim to be a scholar with that one, though
he has precedents -- Soma was probably muscarine or a related compound from
Amanita muscaria or a related mushroom -- and the pictures make so much sense!
