[νη΄. Περὶ ἀρκτίου.] Ἄρκτιον τὸ μὲν τῷ φλόμῳ παραπλήσιον, τὸ τὴν ῥίζαν ἁπαλὴν καὶ λευκὴν καὶ γλυκεῖαν ἔχον καὶ τὸν καυλὸν μακρὸν καὶ μαλακὸν καὶ τὸν καρπὸν ὅμοιον κυμίνῳ, λεπτομεροῦς μὲν ἱκανῶς ἐστι δυνάμεως, καὶ δι’ αὐτὸ τοῦτο ξηραντικῆς μέντοι καὶ ῥυπτικῆς μετρίως, ὅθεν καὶ ἡ ῥίζα καὶ ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ ἀφεψόμενοι σὺν οἴνῳ πραΰνει πως ὀδόντων ἀλγήματα. πυρικαύτων τε καὶ χιμέθλων καὶ τὸ τούτων μὲν ἀφέψημα καταντλώμενον, ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ κλῶνές εἰσιν ἰάματα.
