2 . The ‘piaister’ ( Isaiah 38:21; Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] etc., ‘piaster’) which Isaiah prescribed for Hezekiah’s boil was a fig-pouitice, according to the text of 2 Kings 20:7 , but the parallel passage above cited reads literaily, ‘Let them take a cake of figs and rub it upon the boll.’
