ἡ δέ τις καυσαλὶς λεγομένη 2 ὑπέρωρος, μέλαινα, κάτοπτος, ἡ δὲ χειρίστη ἐν ἁπάσαις ἐργασίμη καλεῖται, ψαφαρὰ καὶ ἀλιπής, δριμεῖα, κομμίζουσα τῇ ὄψει καὶ τῇ δυνάμει, καὶ ἡ Μιναία δὲ καλουμένη ἀποδόκιμος. καὶ πιέσματα δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν γίνεται, ἀπὸ μὲν τῶν λιπαρῶν εὐώδη καὶ λιπαρά, ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν ξηρῶν ἀλιπῆ καὶ οὐκ εὐώδη, ἄτονα δὲ διὰ τὸ προσειληφέναι ἔλαιον εἰς τὴν ἀνάπλασιν. δολίζεται δὲ κόμμει βραχέντι σμύρνης ἀποβρέγματι καὶ μειγνυμένῳ.
