<unk> , also known as as<unk> m,<unk> um or<unk> cum, is a semi-mythical remedy with as many as 65 ingredients, used as an antidote for poisoning, and said to be created by<unk> s VI of Pontus. It was among one of the most complex, highly sought-after drugs during the Renaissance, particularly in Italy and France, where they were in continual use for centuries. An updated recipe called theriac (Theriacum Andromachi) was known well into the 19th century.<unk>  takes its name from its inventor,<unk> s, King of Pontus, who is said to have so fortified his body against poisons with antidotes and preservatives, that when he tried to kill himself, he could not find any poison that would have an effect. The recipe of it was found in his cabinet, written with his own hand, and was carried to Rome by Pompey. It was translated into verse by Servilius Damocrates, a famous physician, and was afterwards translated by Galen. It likely underwent considerable alterations since the time of its royal prescriber.<unk>  was also used as part of a regimen to ward off potential threats of plague. According to Simon Kellwaye (1593), one should "take a great Onyon, make a hole in the myddle of him, then fill the place with Mitridat or Triacle, and some leaues of Rue". Until as late as 1786, physicians in London could officially prescribe<unk> .
