1] Τὸ σκίμβρον, ὅ τινες σίσυμβρον καλοῦσιν, ὀρέξεως ἐστιν ἐνεργητικὸν καὶ οὔρων κινητικόν. 2] Χαίρει δὲ ἀέρι εὐκραεῖ καὶ ξηρῷ καὶ τόπῳ εὐηλίῳ μηδαμόθεν ἐνοχλουμένῳ ὑπὸ δένδρων. Τρέφεται δὲ ὑπὸ γῇ καὶ αὔξεται. 3] Σπείρεται δὲ καὶ φυτεύεται, ἀλλὰ ἀπὸ μὲν σπέρματος τῷ τρίτῳ ἔτει δώσει καρπόν. Εἰ δέ τις ἀπὸ τῆς κορυφῆς τῆς ῥίζης, ἐξ ἧς ἔχει τὴν βλάστην, ἥν τινες ὀφθαλμὸν καλοῦσι, φυτεύσει, ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ ἔτει δώσει τὸν καρπόν.
