[να΄. Περὶ ἀπίου.] Ἀπίου τὰ μὲν φύλλα καὶ οἱ ἀκρέμονες αὐστηροὶ, ὁ δὲ καρπὸς ἔχει τι καὶ γλυκύτητος ὑδατώδους, ἐξ ὧν δήλη καὶ ἡ κρᾶσίς ἐστιν ἀνώμαλός τις ὑπάρχουσα κατὰ τὰ μόρια, καὶ τὸ μέν τι γεῶδες ἔχουσα, τὸ δ’ ὑδατῶδες, καὶ καθ’ ἑκάτερον τὸ μέν τι ψυχρὸν, τὸ δ’ εὔκρατον. καὶ διὰ τοῦτ’ ἐσθιόμενοι μὲν εὐστόμαχοί τ’ εἰσὶ καὶ ἄδιψοι. καὶ καταπλαττόμενοι δὲ ξηραίνουσί τε καὶ μετρίως ψύχουσιν, ὡς ἔγωγε κολλήσας αὐτοῖς οἶδα τραῦμα, μηδενὸς ἄλλου φαρμάκου παρόντος.
