[Κοινὸς λόγος ἐπὶ ταῖς ὁμοχρόαις ἐμπλάστροις.] Ὅτι μὲν οὐ χρὴ κατὰ τὴν τῆς χροιᾶς ὁμοιότητα τὴν ἐν τῇ γραφῇ τῶν φαρμάκων γίνεσθαι κοινωνίαν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὴν τῆς δυνάμεως, εὔδηλον δήπου γε. γράφουσι γοῦν, ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ Ἀνδρόμαχος, οὕτως καὶ ἄλλοι τινὲς ἐφεξῆς ἀλλήλων, οὐ μόνον τὰς χλωρὰς ἐμπλάστρους, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰς μηλίνας καὶ τὰς φαιὰς καὶ τὰς λευκάς. ὅπως οὖν αἱ λευκαὶ γίγνονται, διὰ τοῦ πρώτου τῶνδε τῶν ὑπομνημάτων εἶπον. ὅπως δὲ χλωραὶ καὶ πρόσθεν εἴρηται καὶ νῦν ἀναμνήσω.
