The concrete instrument for expressing liquid from plants and roots. In the gold passage, grape material is described as taken from a press, giving the word a second practical context. Pressing differs from distillation in the plant list: the author names both because different material fractions or modes of separation are involved. The term is therefore more than an incidental piece of equipment.
