Although chances are that the main portion thereof represents a spell or a "charm", there is no evidence that it is a recipe.
The occurrence of "anchiton" that you quote is very interesting. The Exodus speaks of the "setim" wood, the origin of which is unknown but it is believed to be Acacia. Does anyone know why it is called "anchiton" in the comments? And what is "ligno fimile", mentioned as a synonym to anchiton?
On my opinion, recipe is the best candidate, especially, if "pox leber", "kampfer", "anchiton", "miltos", "tar" or "tartere" are correct reading. They are can be components: goat liver + camfor + gum + hematite powder.
Actualy, the word which I interpreted as "union" may be also You are not allowed to view links.

This word is closer to Old English and Dutch, but, from the other hand, "gas mich" could also be read as You are not allowed to view links.

My interpretation isn't perfect, without doubt, as letters are faded, language or, rather, dialect is unknown.
As for "anchiton", I don't know what was the real source, possibly, it is Greek, it is very rare, as I understand. From that text: "anchiton" is a wood or a material similar to wood (ligno simile) taken for a sacred altar, altars were made of trees from Paradise. Perhaps, it is the same as "setim". I don't know why, but I assume, it can be just resin (pitch, tar, gum) of pine-tree, acacia or else.
