Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Substances and their tastes, potencies, post-digestive effects and specific actions are countless and cannot all be told in a short treatise.

Detailed answer

In verse 24 the author says many more medicines with greater and wonderful qualities exist beyond those described; even all-knowing physicians leave the account of substances incomplete, so someone like himself cannot complete it.
