ἐλαύνει δὲ ἰσχυρῶς τοὺς ὄφεις ἡ ἔνδροσός τε καὶ νοτερὰ καλαμίνθη φασὶ καὶ ὁ ἄγνος. τοῦτόν τοι καὶ ἐν Θεσμοφορίοις ἐν ταῖς στιβάσι τὰ γύναια τὰ Ἀττικὰ ὑποστόρνυται. καὶ δοκεῖ μὲν καὶ ἐχθρὸς εἶναι τοῖς δακέτοις ὁ ἄγνος, ἤδη δὲ καὶ ὁρμῆς ἀφροδισίου κώλυμά ἐστι, καὶ ἔοικε τό γε ὄνομα λαβεῖν ἐντεῦθεν. δέδοικε δὲ ἄρα τὰ αὐτὰ δάκετα καὶ τὴν καλουμένην λιβανωτίδα πόαν.
