[ια΄. Περὶ αἰγείρου.] Αἰγείρου τὰ μὲν ἄνθη θερμὰ τὴν δύναμίν ἐστιν ἐκ τῆς πρώτης ἀποστάσεως ἀπὸ τῶν εὐκράτων· ἐν δὲ τῇ κατὰ τὸ ξηραίνειν τε καὶ ὑγραίνειν διαφορᾷ βραχὺ τῶν εὐκράτων καὶ μέσων ἀποκεχώρηκεν ἐπὶ τὸ ξηρότερον. ἔστι δὲ καὶ λεπτομερὴς μᾶλλον ἢ παχυμερής. καὶ τὰ φύλλα αὐτῆς ὅμοια μέν πώς ἐστι τοῖς ἄνθεσιν, πλὴν εἰς ἅπαν ἀσθενέστερά τε καὶ ἀπρακτότερα· καὶ ἡ ῥητίνη δὲ αὐτῆς ὁμοία τοῖς ἄνθεσιν δυνάμεώς ἐστι καὶ θερμοτέρα ἔτι. τὸ δὲ σπέρμα λεπτομερέστερόν ἐστι καὶ ξηραντικώτερον τῆς ῥητίνης καὶ τῶν ἀνθῶν, θερμότερον δὲ οὐ πάνυ τι.
