84 πρόπο λιν δὲ παραληπτέον τὴν ξανθὴν καὶ| εὐώδη καὶ στυρακίζουσαν, μαλακήν τε ἐν τῷ ὑπερξήρῳ καὶ μαστίχης τρόπον ἐφελκομένην. ἔστι δὲ θερμαντικὴ ἄγαν καὶ ἐπισπαστικὴ καὶ σκολόπων ἑλκυστική· ἀρήγει δὲ καὶ βηξὶ παλαιαῖς ὑποθυμιωμένη, αἴρει δὲ καὶ λειχῆνας ἐπιτιθεμένη. εὑρίσκεται δὲ περὶ τοῖς στόμασι τῶν σμηνίων, φύσει κηροειδής.
